So I found a link to a very promising game called Castle Story, they haven't released anything yet but it looks awesome. It's like a mix of Dwarf Fortress, The Settlers and Minecraft built in Unity3D with the objective of creating a castle out of bricks then defending it from monsters and other players. Castles are built brick by brick meaning you can make awesome structures to do a lot, you could make a massive bridge to another island, you could surround your island with a big wall, you could even make little houses for your bricktrons to live in. With things to be added like drawbridges, it'll be like a more custom version of Minecraft but instead of you controlling the person directly you instead tell them what to do. The game hasn't got a release date yet, but they're hoping to release it in an early beta stage early on in the year.

Seems interesting enough :3 DO you know if you'll have to pay money for it?

werdna123 · 2012-02-23 06:10:29

Wow, looks good.

werdna123 · 2012-02-23 06:13:19

Does it work for macs, do you know?

slinger · 2012-02-23 06:15:41

It's not out yet...

Liru · 2012-02-23 06:17:53

It says in the FAQ that they're going to port it for macs and PCs first, then move on after they add more.

And I don't think it'll cost too much, like 10$ or so, just guessing.

Sounds great, thanks a bunch for telling us about it.

I wouldn't pay money for something that hasn't proven itself to be great...
I probably won't get it tongue

Well the demo video shows how great it is.

Yeah, I'd probably pay £20, assuming you get later updates free.

It looked interesting, not that fun though.

majormax · 2012-02-23 07:03:53

Looks cool, but my computer probably couldn't run it.

slinger · 2012-02-23 07:15:14

Oh awesome, the developers are Canadian big_smile

NOW he's excited. xD

slinger · 2012-02-23 08:26:02

tongue But still I wouldn't pay 10$ for it, i'm not very rich and what I do have I am saving.

Liru · 2012-02-23 08:49:24

It's like minecraft I guess, you pay once and get the rest for free.

So no release date, but have they hinted towards any particular season?

ProgrammingPro01 · 2012-02-23 14:29:40

That game looks pretty awesome!

Liru · 2012-02-25 10:17:25

I actually can't wait for this game to come out, I've been playing the Settlers 2 (On my Amiga, but I torrented the 10th thingy remastered version) and I can tell you now, it is terrible. CS looks like so much fun and there's already lots of directions in which they can take it .

Dev blog here, FAQ is somewhere on this site.

I know, same, I keep searching on the internet for info. on it. I really can't wait. Probably better than Minecraft.

Second dev diary. (well, fourth apparently, second one I have any interest in)

They just did a Q&A session, revealed tons of info. on the game.

Liru · 2012-03-18 08:14:22

It answered a lot, I like that we don't have to rebuild castles brick by brick.

I wonder what connecting islands will be like though, I don't want an ugly pole sticking out of my island.

Eh, I kinda like the idea of making bridges between them. But I've no idea how they'll do it, since there's nothing to support them.

And I'm not sure, but I think one of the developers mentioned teleportation a while ago.

Liru · 2012-03-18 08:52:54

You only need to teleport one bricktron to another island to start up there, so there's probably an expensive teleportation thing later on.
