Kickstarter trailer!

I love that music.

Could've done better with the gameplay footage.

_Madk I tried

[Xienen]

With nearly $2K in just a couple hours, I'm pretty sure you did a good enough job with the video 

[Swifty]

Good luck with the Kickstarted Bleak! Although by the looks of it you won't need any luck, so instead - good job! 

[gimymblert]

yeah that trailer music was f*tastic

[coah]

That trailer is just great. It showcases the gameplay perfectly.

Looks like the kickstarter is off to a great start as well.

Really, just a solid effort through and through.

[BleakProspects]

We reached ~20% already today. We were also featured as a staff pick, and are currently sitting at 3rd place overall on kicktraq

I have absolutely no idea why I haven't posted in here before.
I've seen this game several times and it looks lovely, so I'll follow this.

P.S. thanks for following on twitter <3

okay worry averted!

Don't forget about us when you are a multimillionaire

[Seiseki]

Seems like it's already a success! :D
Grats!  

Btw, I think a stretchgoal should be female (non-bearded) dwarves! 

[Xienen]

Well, clearly my research was wrong because DwarfCorp is sure to make its goal without an alpha build...looks like it's just a matter of how many stretch goals you can achieve

Congrats!

[Netsu]

This definitely needs to reach at least the first stretch goal.

I love the idea of some kind of indirect multiplayer.
Perhaps go the same route as sim city and allow players to play in the same world, but manage their own colony and no direct/real-time interaction.
 So they can trade goods between them, lend money, invest stocks. And more ruthless capitalism in form of sabotage and hiring anothers employees, undercutting their prices, spying.
There could be a race component where the first player to complete a certain task/quest gets a bonus..

[BleakProspects]

We reached 30% of our goal!

I'm afraid of indirect multiplayer due to the simcity disaster. If anything, it will be an option you can enable for your game but is in no way required.

Well, Sim City was a disaster because they made lots of terrible decisions.
(despite being a disaster I still found it awesome to play online with a friend while chatting on skype)

As long as one player is the host/dedicated server with a limited amount of slots instead of some kind of forced online system tracking your every move, it should be fine.  

And while I'm fantasizing about wicked ideas.. 
Imagine having a weekly newspaper with news from the homeland that affects you indirectly, with articles about stockprices, scandals and dwarf of the week, dwarf-sudoku, obituaries (where the death of your own employees show up) and letters to the editor (which players can write).
Would serve great as explanation for falling gold prices, new demands for gems etc.

I hope it kicks you high now it seem you got on a good mineral vein!
