I see great potential in this. Hopefully they'll live up to it.

[Silfurdreki]

I do love me a good citybuilder! And from Gaslamp! With steampunk!

All of my want!

Also:

at least one foodstuff that doubles as a building material.

Loved what Gaslamp did for the Roguelike genre. Very excited to see what they do for colony builders.

[Eek-A-Mouse]

Awwwhhh yeah.

[Aklyon]

Gaslamp, Steampunk, SCIENCE, and Megaprojects is a bolded word.

Project Odin is best project.

Project big-ass monument to my life and time as ruler is best project.  ~ Random Pharaoh

Steampunk + Colony Builder + Losing is Fun.

I've spent the better part of an hour stuffing coins into my drives but I still can't seem to play it. It does make pretty sparks though.

[Myroc]

Give me a demo before I explode. I will gladly throw all the money at them if I could play this game at this very moment.

Looks pretty sweet!

Also:

No always-online DRM requirement, unlike certain other games we don’t want to mention. You know who you are and your mothers are very disappointed.

All my money.

They never had mothers. They've always been pod people. I will spend money to rid the world of pod people.

So I remember "megaprojects" from the old citybuilders, and it was essentially just a resource hog that took forever to build. For a super mega project it never really struck me as being that awesome. I'm wondering if they can make this different... such as instead of it simply being a monument, it could be a gigantic factory of awesome. Or maybe it'll just be the usual resource hog with pretty graphics.

I'm a cynic

Maybe a giant steampunk robot of doom that has 5% chance of randomly rampaging in your city?

@Anvilfolk - everything they've hinted at so far has been to functional effect.  Chances are, the "megaproject" will be meta-style and virtually identical to DF megaprojects.  After all, these people have taken a lot of inspiration from DF, I don't expect them to cut corners.
