Episode 36: Games Other Than Dwarf Fortress

We’re alive! We’ve returned briefly from our summer interlude to discuss what we’ve been up to, and Drew tells us all about his recent Rimworld experience. We’ll be back soon with more dwarfy goodness, we promise!

Get RimWorld on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/RimWorld/
Read “Fire Upon The Deep” by Vernor Vinge, author also of “True Names” (i.e. passwords) the origin of cyberspace (one of many). RimWorld also probably influenced by “Revelation Space” by Alastair Reynolds.
TV Show recommendation: Evil. Fun, weird, very late 90s for being from early 2020s.
Eventually we’ll get to:
Dwarf Fortress: Laboratory and Homestead, Journal Article https://doi.org/10.1177/1555412015603192

Episode 37.5: Critter Cove

We’ve got a special episode all about Critter Cove! This is 100% a Kristin Game, with cute creatures, exploration, crafting, and much more! We tell you all about the game and then discuss the concept of early access, and our experiences with games in development. Note that Kristin raises some questions about game features and then answers them herself at the very end (via the magic of reading the roadmap in detail).
