Well, folks over at Desura seem to be liking it - make of that what you will...

For $1, works for me.

From what I've seen, Gnomoria is similar to Dwarf Fortress, but with actual graphics and less complex. Dwarf Fortress is something like a Sim DwarfCity, or maybe an extremely deep version of Minecraft where you tell dwarves to do the digging and building for you.

Not sure if I'll get this, since it'll probably sit in my backlog (esp if it's not on Steam), and I've been meaning to learn how to play Dwarf Fortress itself someday...

This NeoGAF thread has a good summary:

Call me racist but I don't like dwarves. I do however like building stuff so I'm gonna give it a shot.

this is a strange post.



Oh, and there is an option in the My Games section to vote for the game in Steam Greenlight. Can I hope that if it gets greenlit that we'd get Steam keys too?

According to thee greenlight page, yes.


"UPDATE
I've been getting a lot of emails asking if you will receive a Steam key if you purchase the game before being available on Steam. I'm almost positive that the answer is yes. I haven't seen a statement from Valve, but I know games have done this before and I expect to be able to give out Steam keys if Gnomoria is available on Steam in the future."

Good to hear. I believe McPixel did it? Desura is fine in my book but I'd like a Steam copy as well.

I went to school with the guy that is making Gnomoria. Cool dude, I'll be grabbing this.

Watched the video, bought the game. It's also in steams greenlight atm

As far as I can tell there are no bonuses for BTA for Gnomoria. No soundtrack or anything of the sort is available anywhere, actually.

Yup. Not on the landing page. I looked all over the landing page as well as on the blog to see if there were bonuses included for BTA.

I bought it for $3. It looks decent.

Wasn't goign to purchase it, but saw the video, was convinced right away!

Geneforge Saga now available. $1 or more gives you Steam + GOG.com keys.

that ain't my jam

Already have it, but looking forward to the next reveal. One of these is going to catch me.

I believe Geneforge was in a Royale, and I didn't end up buying it. At least $1 for a series of five games with some nice graphics? That's a great deal, I'm getting it this time.
