Maia - a Dungeon Keeper style god game

[7upMan]

Folks, I'm not sure if many of you are avid Dungeon Keeper players, but those of you who are, and who waited for another game that follows DK's footsteps, will be delighted to know that there is a campaign on Kickstarter for a new god game called Maia. Instead of being a medieval dungeon, the game will take place on a far-away planet where resident flora/fauna is so aggressive that the colonists had to move underground. Here, they will dig rocks, create buildings and fight against intruders.

The technical previews look promising, so if you'd like to support the game, please back the campaign.

Well, if you watch the last video you'll notice that you can get your I.M.P. robots to dig out rooms just like in DK. You also have chickens that, as I understand it, as used for the same purpose as in DK: for food. And you control The Hand and can manipulate stuff with it, place lights etc. Please note that this is a pre-alpha demo, hardly more than a demonstration of the basic tech. Since the dev is an avid fan of god games and of DK in particular, I very much imagine he will make his game at least similar not only in the way it's played, but also in terms of humour.

 

But you are right, this is a science-fiction setting, maybe I should have emphasized this.
