Congrats on getting Greenlit!

[Eatingburger]

I gotta ask, because I've seen the trailers and tried the game:

How is this not Dwarf Fortress?

I mean, it's nice to see Dwarf Fortress from an isometric viewpoint, and it's certainly something that was needed to make the game more accessible, but the gameplay seems to be completely identical in design. And I mean completely identical.

e: I... Guess its not that big a deal, clones of other games have been made in abundance, so I guess DF shouldn't be any exception. Good luck with your development!

[Bandreus]

Woooooo Greenlit
