They wanted a pledge of $80k. They now have $615k.

Only 3 days left.

I really am in the wrong profession - I need to develop a Minecraft style game it would seem.

SpaghettiOs · 23 Aug 2012 at 14:56

I don't really see how/why everyone is labelling this as a 'minecraft style' game. If anything it is more akin to Dwarf Fortress, but even there the link is tenuous.

So you keep saying!

Looks really good - backed! (my first Kickstarter project too)

Just under 30 mins to go so get your wallets out quick

I just pledged $25 which tipped it over to $700,000, all they wanted was $80,000

Looks interesting. I won't pledge anything though, looks like they made well enough.

The prototype will be sent out today, for those who pledged enough on the kickstarter, really looking forward to this!

How did I miss this, it looks amazing! What kind of state will the prototype be in?

Southy_ · 17 Oct 2012 at 11:18

Playable but with bugs and a fair few missing features.
The game is basically just a demo of the engine right now, they will fix engine bugs then start adding content and features as it progresses.

Tiny Clanger · 17 Oct 2012 at 11:25

Can't wait for the beta to come out...

Taziir · 17 Oct 2012 at 12:02

Always good to see self-starters getting community support! Looks like a solid game.

Seanoog · 17 Oct 2012 at 17:40

This looks amazing!
Will have to get in on the community...

Shame there is no obvious way to contribute financially, this late!

Reeve · 23 Oct 2012 at 22:27

Whats the general consensus of the people who donated enough to get access to the prototype? Is it a diamond in the rough or is the prototype in such a state that its too early to tell?

SpaghettiOs · 24 Oct 2012 at 14:13

I'd say it's a diamond in the so rough it looks like granite. The engine and art style are really nice, you can see where they are going with the building mechanics and those too are enjoyable, but there are many game breaking bugs making it unplayable for me at the moment. Well worth the investment though I'd say.

Southy_ · 24 Oct 2012 at 14:17

My issues are:
1) Game breaking bugs - Only prototype, so that is ok
2) Controls are awful - Hopefully they change them, or my space bar will be totally worn out.
3) Very very very slow paced right now, if that is what they are going for then that is ok, but personally I would change it.

I think this: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1102507263/timber-and-stone is going to be a better game in the same genre

Beta keys now available (at last) and can be used on Steam

wnb · 7 Oct 2013 at 13:55

This has been released on steam as a Alpha a week or so ago and I bought this on impulse. 50 Hours later and I am completely hooked and all I can think of is playing it again tonight when the kids are in bed!

It's not perfect and it has a fair few bugs the most annoying is pathing of the little yellow men not doing what you have told them to do but despite the bugs it is an amazing game.

it is either a must buy or one to wait for the full release.
