So if you haven't been paying attention there's an indie game being kickstarted called RimWorld. It takes influences from FTL, Firefly, Dwarf Fortress and Prison Architect. The premise is simple, you crash land on an outer rim planet and are forced to create a colony and survive pirate raids, weather, wild life all while building a colony and having a thriving group of people who get a long. The Kickstarter has already succeeded and to top it off he's handing out the pre-alpha to some YouTubers, myself included. And for a pre-alpha, this game is already massively awesome. He says he's been working on the game for almost a year, the kickstarter is to finish it off. To hire a musician for the music and an artist so it no longer looks like Prison Architect. Please, check it out here.
