Has anybody else played this? Bought it on Monday, and I think it might be the most addictive game I've ever played. The graphics are offensively bad (think commodore 64), but holy shit this game is fun.

Nice work though!

That's pretty incredible... I was quite proud of my mud shack because I found out how to build a door for it. :?

Oh come on give the game some credit, it does NOT look like C64! I was a proud owner of one, though it will probably never kick half the ass the Commodore did.

This game gets a lot of credit. Many many credits to be PRECISE.

But I was talking 'ace of aces' bad graphics:

PS - My favorite game of the 80's was PIRATES.

If anybody is considering buying this game, do so before the 20th. Apparently, it will enter beta then and the price will increase by at least 50%

Been playing it a lot the last couple weeks, here is my 'house'

Incredible game, especially because there's no objective except to stay alive. I can't think of any other game where there's no defined goal, and yet I've been playing this more than any console game for over a month.

Haha, yeah... No electricity option yet, just thousands of torches.

No idea really how long it's taken, but have been building it for over 2 weeks to get it like this, playing around an hour a day. The problem with estimating how long it took is that I wasn't just building it. Was also digging a huge hole right below it, and a minecart system. It slowed down a lot when I ran out of coal to melt the sand into glass. Almost ran out of sand as well after totally decimated the nearby beaches.
