    I played the absolute shit out of this game a few years ago, IIRC after @hungariantoast recommended it.

    It's insanely complex, incredibly deep, and a ton of fun... if you can get past its incredibly steep learning curve, which is similar to Dwarf Fortress in that it's more of a learning cliff. So shoutout to Vorminthrax and Ic0n Gaming, since without their tutorial videos I never would have been able to play CDDA, and certainly not for as long as I did.

    Very cool to see it get a Steam release!

    I'm glad that it was approved of by the majority of the major contributors. I'm a (very very minor) contributor to the game, and to the degree that it'll support someone being able to work on it without needing to have other work, I'm glad that it's going to a long-term developer of the game.
