It’s been a long while but how has the game shaped up?

The real power behind countless overlords

Really very little has changed since release.

They added seeds (bad and just as pointlessly busy work as everyone said it was going to be when they announced it).
They added tamable animals, including cows, dogs, and wolves. Tame wolves are a stupid vanity project because they can't wear armor and so immediately get taken out in fights. Animals are otherwise cool and cute.

I've been mostly playing Clanfolk instead which is basically Rimworld without combat or any violence. Clanfolk iterated on several of the genre standard systems in ways that take a little while to wrap your head around, but are genuine improvements that I really hope other people are paying attention to and become the new genre defaults.

I wonder if there are studios that go around buying out indie games that are 90% finished but still kinda crappy.

Oh drat fair enough! I was getting served a lot of YouTube videos and it looked pretty good.

I’ll put it on the wishlist and maybe it will get a good discount.
