Obviously licensing IP to a solo dev is probably not gonna happen, but I’d love a Discworld strategy/sim. I’ve only played one of the old point and click games, but I’ve spent so much time in that universe and would love to have something immersive like that.

Totally, man. You have to take care of your family. This looks like a cool idea, and I hope that it succeeds so well that financially supporting your family becomes a no-brainer.

I would not be concerned at all about comparisons honestly. 'Different art style, different setting, but a similar mechanic' is 90% of all popular/mainstream games I see. You obviously have a road map of features in mind and are working on them, and the WV team surely do as well. In time, the games will diverge enough to each be regarded by their own merits.

BTW I've been playing this demo quite a bit, can't wait to buy the full game when it hits steam.

At the moment one of my characters names (chosen at random) is Esmerelda Weatherwax, but just because I love seeing her pop up from time to time. There will be a few hat tips, but it's not allowed to be a Discworld game.

This looks really cool, adding to my wishlist for sure! Can you disembark from the Turtle and get resources/etc from nearby planets/rocks/space stuff? Since you said you can feed it, I had this intrusive thought of harvesting space turtle poop for some sort of rare/expensive resource

This may be the HoMedics "drift" sandscape table:

Edit:

It appears HoMedic's version of a sandscape table is limited to a couple hundred preset 'art' pieces in their app.

However, the OG to sandscape table (Sisyphus) is more likely to be the specific manufacturer of the table in this GIF, based on the color display and the near limitless customization options: https://sisyphus-industries.com/gallery/
