No idea how I missed RimWorld as it looks fantastic, funded by Kickstarter RimWorld aims to be a pretty interesting colony building simulator. Taking inspiration from FTL, Dwarf Fortress, Firefly and more!
They asked for $20,000 on Kickstarter and got a whopping $268,132 (CAD), that's pretty impressive.
It currently has graphics that resembles Prison Architect which isn't a bad thing, it's just something to note.
The great thing about this game is you can play it many different ways due to it having different styles of AI that play the backing of the game for you.
It has some fancy weather effects too, just look at this lightning!
It sounds really, really quite in-depth too, your colonist can get stressed, hungry, fatigued, psychology plays a major part in how well your colony does.
There is just a crazy amount to this game that I can't list it here, you need to check out their site.
The alpha will set you back $30 as well, so it's not for the cash-strapped gamer right now. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteCassandra Classic aims to create a rising curve of tension over the course of the game. Early on, the most dangerous thing she'll do is send a psychotic squirrel after you. Later on, bands of scavengers will arrive. In the late game, look forward to combined-arms attacks from mercenaries mixed with lightning storms and crop blights. If you want a traditional tension and difficulty curve, go with Cassandra.
Phoebe Friendly is for the player who just wants to build and watch a colony grow. She'll occasionally create minor disasters, but nothing that would threaten the existence of the colony. If you want a more relaxing game about growth and success, choose Phoebe.
Randy Random follows no rules. He may give you some amazing stroke of luck, like a trader selling an advanced weapon for a low price or a group of helpful immigrants, followed by a near-unbeatable pirate attack combined with an electrical fire. If you think losing is fun, you might want to try Randy.

hehe its kinda funny how prison architect and this game say the "art" is not final, but I think this funny / simple art style is becoming a trend and makes it as cool as they are :p
