Puzzle Dwarf Fortress! I will stand by this guess until I'm proven wrong in about fifteen minutes or so...
Man, Pharaoh! That brings back memories. Wells everywhere or something like that. And really annoying firemen who would patrol irregularly and sometimes skip a part of town (which inevitably burned down). Think I got my mom into it at some point.
That's Gaslamp's plan for sure: We shall all get our moms to play their new game! Which inevitably leads to world domination. I'm really excited to see what Project Odin will become. Naturaly I'd love to see some kind of a more accessible Dwarf Fortress (though I don't know if it really should be accessible to every mom...).
(your name goes here): "Mom, what are you doing?" (your mother): "Suffocating mer-babies. Their bones are very valuable, you know." (you): (yeah I know they already nerfed the value of mer-bone )
Things you know: - there are gears. - there are boilers. - there are trestles. - there is an overseer character who has a little box that he can lug around. - there are shanties, and a modest collection of building materials (wood, brick) - there are some interesting pictures of terrain and an elevation map. - we've hired a character artist, an environment artist, and an animator. - there are Leyden jars. - there is networking code.
!!! I always wondered where those little weighted boxes in the Portal games came from. The idea must be to build a factory that makes them, right?
So is it "Mine Keeper", the slightly less S&M version of dungeon keeper? Obviously, the diggles would be guests whom the overseer would have to keep happy.
I'll say this much outright: Just about every character will have a female version. (Except The Queen; already female.)
... apparently, you can now also gild all of your lumber, if I am understanding David's design documents correctly.
I feel like these are the important things. Can we just confirm that there will be some sort of fairly micro-managed building?
I don't know, I get a weird feeling from the trestles. I mean, can we be sure the pics of them are real? What if they're actually trestles in hair? Can we trust our own eyes? *tinfoil hat* But yeah, I figured building materials covered it, and gears and boilers work with Leyden jars and hint towards some machine-building aspects.
except would there be an item weight thing that would give them away as fakes? And provoke a dwarven war maybe?
BEAUTIFUL TREE RABBLERABBLERABBLE NOW JUST A BAUBLE *swishes off in an elven rage* They'll sell you wood, they don't care what you do with it, as long as you aren't selling any to them. Maybe they jelly of superior dwarven carpentry.
