I'm very excited to dive in. Feels similar to Songs of Syx. I'm 2k+ in rimworld, so really, all it took was your suggestion to goad me into checking this game out. Sincere thanks for that, and I'm looking forward to picking your brain on strategy if that would be alright. Great share!

Absolutely! I bounced off Songs of Syx personally, but I've played DF, Rimworld, Oni, etc. I love the look of Odd Realm personally and I had quite a few hours in it, but then the entire UI was reworked, and it seems a bit daunting to get into. There isn't a tutorial atm, but the dev and myself have put up some video tutorials to get started. I think it's unique in the colony sim genre due to the graphics, music, but also the flexibility of the UI. It's not DF deep, but the UI allows you to REALLY dig in deep to automating things if you want, or just manually queue up stuff. I think it still has some rough edges, but for $15 at the moment it's got a lot to offer.

I'm planning on streaming some more Odd Realm 1.0 to my Owncast as well if you're interested. :-)

Have fun and best of luck!
