Dwarf Things
SteamEvery day after work I put all my time into this game. It's built from scratch, without a game engine.
It's nowhere near done, but wanted to get your ideas to improve and feedback as early as possible.
If you want to give feedback, break my game, test things out in a super early alpha, join my play-test. I'll publish updates regularly.
It's more fun if we build it together.
