Assuming this guy's legit, has a good demo/working code, this seems like it's just begging for an angel investor to make a move here. He's saying he can work on the game for $230 a month. Someone with a marketing/business background and some money to spend could conceivably fund this guy perpetually and work on some sort of monetization.
'This Guy' here.
This comment made me create an account and clear some things up.
1. It's not a full game, just a mod for Dwarf Fortress, and will never be monetized. All releases have been, and willbe, free.
2. I work on it anyway. The 230 a month is just the point where it beats out my day job in terms of monthly income. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't plan on quitting that job, even if that milestone is reached, if for no other reason than the fact that I need to regularly leave the house to avoid going stir crazy.
Awesome job. Sometimes I think why am I not doing something like too. I am fan of DF and always wondered if there would be some visual 3d interface to the game.
What a cool interface, I love DF and I would love to see what this guy can do.
Ill throw him a few bucks on the github and screenshots alone.
