Launch trailer:

I realize this would be very subjective, I but I really like the fonts - but I’ve only seen them in screenshots and streams so far.

One of the things I saw in a stream of the game was a header with a general list of supplies/stocks at the top. Like this (and thanks @Quaro for the link to a delightful stream):

You can see the Food Drink Seeds etc. up there. Mine looks like this:

Is this an options setting or do I need to make like a manager and office and what not and then it will appear? I plan on watching the previous 2 episodes (and more to get a good understanding of the game) but I assumed that was going to be the default header.

Maybe it depends on the resolution you are playing at?

Yes, I agree - fonts are probably going to be subjective. I hope that modding this game would be possible. Having the community create tools to enhance the experience would be awesome.

That did it! Although specifically I had to change the “Maximum interface width” to match my screen width (2560)

Have the creators said how updates will work going forward? I get that the brothers have obsessively and constantly been working on the game for almost two decades, but my question is more about the branching of versions. Will the Steam/Itchio version be a side gig, with the free version continuing to be the “prime” code? Will there be a lag in updates between the two versions?

That was the very question I was pondering as well.

Not just mods, it apparently has Workshop integration. Sweet!

Tarn said the following: “After the Classic version gets its first release soon after launch, they are going to be updated simultaneously. They have the same features beneath the graphics so it’s pretty simple to just keep them in line.”

Cool, cool, cool.

I just worry that eventually, the two-man studio will get overwhelmed with version updates and the Steam build will lag.

Squeeeeeeeeeee!

Kruggsmash is live streaming all day, planning up to 7 pm Eastern. So far his and the chat viewers’ response has been very positive!

Also, hi everyone! Been away a while!

Welcome back, drifter. :)

Hi! Good to see you!

Is the steam version moddable? Like interface tuff?

I can right click on a menu to close it.

I’m not ready for this level of convenience.

Awesome.

The best Steam review is this, though perhaps it’s not original but actually the lyrics of a song?

BROTHERS OF THE MINE REJOICE!
SWING, SWING, SWING WITH ME
RAISE YOUR PICK AND RAISE YOUR VOICE!
SING, SING, SING WITH ME
DOWN AND DOWN INTO THE DEEP
WHO KNOWS WHAT WE’LL FIND BENEATH?
DIAMONDS, RUBIES, GOLD AND MORE
HIDDEN IN THE MOUNTAIN STORE

BORN UNDERGROUND, SUCKLED FROM A TEAT OF STONE
RAISED IN THE DARK, THE SAFETY OF OUR MOUNTAIN HOME
SKIN MADE OF IRON, STEEL IN OUR BONES
TO DIG AND DIG MAKES US FREE
COME ON BROTHERS SING WITH ME!

CHORUS
I AM A DWARF AND I’M DIGGING A HOLE
DIGGY DIGGY HOLE, DIGGY DIGGY HOLE
I AM A DWARF AND I’M DIGGING A HOLE
DIGGY DIGGY HOLE, DIGGING A HOLE

THE SUNLIGHT WILL NOT REACH THIS LOW
DEEP, DEEP IN THE MINE
NEVER SEEN THE BLUE MOON GLOW
DWARVES WON’T FLY SO HIGH
FILL A GLASS AND DOWN SOME MEAD!
STUFF YOUR BELLIES AT THE FEAST!
STUMBLE HOME AND FALL ASLEEP
DREAMING IN OUR MOUNTAIN KEEP

BORN UNDERGROUND, GROWN INSIDE A ROCKY WOMB
THE EARTH IS OUR CRADLE; THE MOUNTAIN SHALL BECOME OUR TOMB
FACE US ON THE BATTLEFIELD; YOU WILL MEET YOUR DOOM
WE DO NOT FEAR WHAT LIES BENEATH
WE CAN NEVER DIG TOO DEEP

I did the rather brief tutorial and read all the help. In the spot the tutorial planted me in I can’t see to find any soil to plant things in and I didn’t even realize for the longest time how to get more than one guy mining I decided to generate a new world. decided to run the 250 year history option for whatever effect that has and I had to share this event.
