The awesome RimWorld colony simulator has now reached the second alpha, it adds a ton of new content not to miss.

New Highlights
More mod support

Butchery & Cooking

Ambient souds

Finished automated hunting. Colonists will hunt with guns or melee attacks.

Pawns now try to eat nice meals when they have the choice over nutrient meals.

Added stone economy: stonecutter’s table, crafting worktype, stone cutting workgiver, stone blocks thing, stone tiles floor, low stone wall, high stone wall.

And a ton more, see the full changelog here.

I am a big fan of this game, the developer graced me with a copy to play around with, so it is another one to look out for in our GOL game-play videos.

It has the graphical style of Prison Architect with a completely different style of play, it's very engrossing. I love building simulators so this hits the sweet spot.

You can play it in a few different styles too, since it has a number of different AI "story tellers" which play out the game differently, from being evil to you; to letting you do your own thing.

You can pick it up now for $30 via the official site. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: ChuckyCool! $30 and Paypal. Nice joke.

Well it's easily worth the $30, paypal is a pain though I agree there.

30$ is just too expensive for an alpha. I don't like the way things are going with this alpha/early game stuff...

What's wrong with PayPal?

Prison architect was similarly expensive. I don't regret buying it, but I won't buy an alpha stage indie game for AAA game price again. It just isn't right.

This look oddly like Prison Architect. I have to say though that played about 6 hours of PA and realized there was nothing left to do. I guess I could expand, but I ran into the same issue with SimCity. After you get so big, there isn't much left to do but grow.

This game looks to be in the same line, but by giving it some RTS elements it will give more purpose to growing and making things better. I understand wanting to charge during the alpha to fund development, but give us a break on the price, we're basically paying to be QA for your software.
