Brick out these construction plans.



<span class="bold">Craft The World</span>, a sandbox strategy game where you build your own dwarf fortress, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com for Windows and Mac with GOG Galaxy support for achivements and multiplayer and a 50% launch discount.

Conquering the world can be a pretty epic and thrilling undertaking, but it usually leaves you saddled with the resources and constructions of its previous owner(s). Where's the fun in that? Play God instead, and manage your own tribe of laborious dwarves as they build a home for themselves on a randomly generated island, full of opportunities and untapped real estate potential.

Mine the surface and subsurface world for resources, build a fortress fit for a vertically challenged king, and defeat any malicious creatures that want to claim it for themselves. Grow your dwarf workforce, craft them better weapons and equipment but also provide them with food, furniture, ammunition, and decent living conditions. And if you Craft The World as impressive as your divine powers allow, be prepared to use your magic in order to discourage the hordes of monsters that will come pouring through portals to bang at your doors.



<span class="bold">Craft The World</span> as sturdy, stylish, and efficient as you please, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% discount will last until February 10, 1:59 PM GMT.

budejovice: For the record, I play on a computer that is always offline and I was able to play without any issues at all. Didn't notice anything wrong...

moonshineshadow: Yeah. But your computer is always offlline. Mine isn't. I just blocked the "trying to phone home" attempt in the firewall. Meaning that as soon as there is a connection it wants to connect and does not work when it is not allowed to...
I am no expert but if the firewall is doing the blocking then the game is not getting a reply that basically states "Nope no internet here, please carry on" and that is why people who do not have their PCs connected to the net and are NOT blocking the game via their firewall are not experiencing this issue because the game sees that there is no internet and carries on.

if the game does not get told that there is no internet to be found and is waiting for a reply for too long then it may crash because of that.

moonshineshadow: Yeah when setting up the firewall that the game is allowed to access localhost it works. Thanks everyone.

Still think that the devs did a lousy job on that implementation.
May I ask how is any programmer to know how users have their firewalls set up? Serious question.
