Unclaimed World is an upcoming extra-terrestrial colonization and survival game by a two-person studio called Refactored. “Pedersen: Lars, our programmer, after trying Dwarf Fortress once, started Unclaimed World as a spare time project just for fun.” says Morten Pedersen the other half of Refactored. Dwarf Fortress is a pretty complex and deep game – anything inspired by it is probably going to have it’s own share of depth.

The survival aspect for instance; you don’t want to just kill every animal you meet. Instead, you could follow it for a while and see if it leads to to more food sources. You can relocate your camp from the starting “crash site” if food is scare or the enemies are too harsh. You can set traps, build fences, craft weapons like spears and machetes. If you do decide to attack and kill animals for food – don’t do it too close to the campsite or it might attract other creatures of prey. Rock Paper Shotgun recently did an interview with the team to find out a little bit more about the game and it’s definitely worth your read if it sounds interesting so far. I haven’t the slightest clue about a release date but I’m looking forward to it.
