King under the Mountain from developer Rocket Jump Technology, a simulation-based settlement-building strategy game, that was going through a big upgrade and re-brand with Mountaincore ended up shutting down and being open sourced.

That sucks! But even with a publisher, surely it would have had trouble in a market where Dwarf Fortress exists? How is it compared to that?

Looks more similar to rimworld tbh.

Is dwarf fortress not, like, the proto-rimworld?

I feel Rimworld has kind of a very different concept, you don’t even have any layers. Games like Songs of Syx or especially Odd Realm feel much closer to DF. No idea how this specific title compares but I can see how there’s been quite some competition.
