For those of you who were interested in gameplay videos, I've just posted a talk-through of getting to know a new character on the Steam Store page (it's the second video in the list): http://store.steampowered.com/app/396680 Honest feedback required please! does this help sell the game where plain ...

That's a really nice idea!

Looking at DF, I would concur that the imaginative retelling by players of scenarios arising from an unexpected discovery of what the simulation is capable of producing is a huge boon to this sort of game. I suspect that Chris is well aware. :ghost: I am :) I need to find better ways of letting the...

Yes, I think you're right. I'll put some thought to those next week.

And thanks Victor

Unfortunately the steam screenshots belie the game itself. Oh, interesting. Do you mean the game is better than the screenshots make it appear, or that the screenshots aren't telling the truth about the game? I'm keen to get this right. One thing I want to see added: in the character creation, coul...

It's because put the effort into a really good automatic build system using Jenkins to build across Windows, OSX and Linux nodes, then automatically upload to a Steam preview branch Quite proud of it - rather sad almost no-one gets to see it They do feel the benefit in fast patches though!

Thanks so much Josh. I've been feeling pretty down this morning to be honest, mostly because of all the bugs that surfaced despite lots of effort and play testing.
