Kickstarter pre-purchase: buy into the alpha

I have a feeling this will be something special. It looks like prison architect-meets-dwarf fortress.

The graphics are place-holder. But they do intend to make it unique!

Looks fun. Like Dwarf Fortress before complexity took over from gameplay and usability.

I can't see any of the kickstarter options that actually include the full game though? The $20 version says only 'up to' the final version, not including it. In the next sentence it says 'if it gets on Steam, you'll get a key', so do you not get a full copy otherwise?

That's a pretty good point! Badly described tiers. I'm pretty sure the $20 CAD (£12.12p currently) tier gets you the full game.

Well, at least I hope so!

It's certainly coming along. I'm liking the mood and health stats.

Started a colony today, one of my chaps decided to wall himself in when mining. Left him to it to see what would happen - he went mad. One of the other two got shot by a pirate, so I buried him, but then the remaining survivor contracted the plague. Game over.

Was quite surprised to realise the creator has written books on game design, and worked on Bioshock Infinite.
