Looks a lot like Prison Architect graphically. Not a fan of the style, but it does put it above most DF likes by the virtue of having combat look more like actual combat and having stuff move around in general.

Don't suppose there's any chances of there being a complex health system rather than just a health bar?

This looks really awesome gameplay-wise. The crashlander vocational idea is pretty neat.

ptw, I really hope this does turn out to be a mix of Prison Architect and DF and still be a decent game.

Thanks for all the interest, everyone else! I'm working on getting the game ready for a wider release. Hopefully it'll be a month or two from now.
