A Strange Mood: The Couple's Dwarf Fortress Podcast

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).
