@@usualatlas3869 Appreciate the info, and it was an option that I already had thought about doing, but last time I had to turn down the natural resolution of my monitor to play a game was back in the 90's.
if you look towards the bottom of the game screen there is a zoom level to make it larger, also I think you can increase the UI size in the options iirc.
@@LenHarms Yeah I've discovered those, and use them constantly, but still. The fundamental issue is that the sprites themselves are too small, they don't enlarge enough, and the best font you can choose still has some horrible lettering which makes it hard to read stuff. You have to fight very hard to just get mediocre visibility out of that game, which is a big shame.
This game is the best of this style game next to Dwarf fortress, and its such a sleeper title. Its a shame that this game doesn't get the play time with streamers as it deserves.

your problem is you made one immortality room-area with 2 beds, you need to make 2 room-areas with 1 bed and the other requirement (can still be in the same physical room though, pretty sure).
Say mr cat gaming or should i say mr falcon. Thank you for giving these great indie games a chance by showing them on TH-cam because id have never found out about odd realm without you. THANK YOU. I dunno why autocorrect said slammer instead of great. My bad.
Splattercat! Thaumatugy is an ancient science much like alchemy. The easiest way to describe it is magical alchemy. Instead of seeing everything as elements of matter they see elements of energies. In this game it would be something like a "void alchemist".
"Thaumaturge" is an actual word which basically means "Magic Smith" ... basically they make magic tools and weapons, through the process known as "Thaumaturgy" which is just blacksmithing or craftsmithing with magic ingots/shards/crystals or pure magic, to create useful items
i bought the game recently. it's fun. just couldn't work out a few things, eg, rooms only have to be one block high, you can hold control to make an empty square, etc. i had a list of questions on the community hub and the developers answered it thoroughly lol
Thaumaturgy is like magical science its like if alchemy is magical chemistry thaumaturgy is the magical equivalent of applied science or mechanics although magical mechanics is also artifice which may or may not be covered by thaumaturgy depending on the worlds lore.
Irl, Thaumaturgy is the study of the arts/science of magic. As such, a thaumaturge is someone who studies complex magic. Wether or not this holds true for this game, idk.
Yeah folks, I said “real magicians”. It’s a 400+ year old word. Alchemy, priestly miracles, and anything that rudimentary science couldn’t explain was called magic. Also, fiction has created many words. Simply because the situation doesn’t actually exist doesn’t mean the word and its definition aren’t real.
@@Valdreag17 yes but the worlds created in fiction arent "IRL" to quote you and while sure there have been alchemists and the like but i know of no science or arts of magic unless you mean like magic trick things the way you used the term implied there have been magical scientists which im not saying dont exist just that its highly improbable. While im at it 400+ year old world? The world and humans are alot older then 400ish years why is that your goto number?
This seems to be coming along nicely. After gnomoria im kinda skiddish of these sort of colony builders, such an unfinished mess left abandoned. Time will tell though. I thought Gnomoria was good too until i put several hours into it and found the massive flaws.
Splatt, i think you have a search button on the bottom right of the craft menu. Looks like magnifying glass, next to number 3, under up and down buttons :)
Going by Harry Dresden rules, thaumaturgy is the practice of forming links between a representation of something and the real thing in order to create a desired effect. Think along the lines of voodoo dolls, but on a much wider scope. No idea how that would apply to this game though.😁
Idk if there has been any updates since I played last but the problem I had with the ancients besides the minions not lasting very long is they didn't give you enough void crystals to make the items you needed to survive and I couldn't figure out how to make more of them. Also, everytime I came across an ancient in the dungeon they would fight me and I would have to kill them. I never managed to increase my population.
I just made a comment about this. But it's less like a study of magic explicitly, but more of an alchemical approach to the mystical elements of the world. So yes, but not exactly.
This game seems closer to dwarf fortress then rimworld, I just get so much nostalgia from DF when watching this review. But then again, rimworld was inspired by Dwarf fortress, so while rimworld is different it still has it's similarities.
This is super difficult to watch, but it's insanely interesting and well worth watching, hope to see more! Also alpha 1 of rimworld sound terrifying to imagine lol.
this would be fun, if there was a tutorial or something, the gme itself it a tad odd lookig for me, i don't quite like the look from above, i can't tell what's what.
This game makes me wish that I had better eyesight.

I'm late to this, but turn your resolution down and it'll make things bigger for you.

from my first impression, this is basically dwarf fortress without dwarf but with better UI
Same
Lol same
Exactly
yup
dwarf fortress has that absolutely insane world gen process and history though

It's like dwarf fortress but with more variation in what you can play as and yknow...graphicz
Play time will come as it develops, it's pretty early right now. I can tell this is gonna be big with people who like colony builders.

The Ancients reminds me of Rimworld because you can't procreate and have to wait for escape pods, wander join, prisoner recruitment and rescue.

Your Final Fantasy XIV Knowledge seems to be flawed. Thaumaturges are Black mage prerequisites. Conjurer for some reason are the white mages.
🤔
the actual meaning of a thaumaturge is a magic blacksmith, thaumaturgy is the process of creating magic tools
@@XiaoYueMao 🤨🤔
Thaumaturges are "wonder workers" of course derived from ancient Greek.
I've found your channel again after almost 3 years, I'm so gassed listening to your voice ahhhh
You have no idea the boost in views i've gotten because you decide to visit a game a week after I do.
THANK YOU!!!
Just realized Splat doesn't know where Z-levels come from. SPLATTERCAT PLS.
This kinda looks like the Dwarf Fortress clone I've been looking for for years now!
How have I never heard of this? Would love to see more if this. Consider me intrigued!
Building 4 squares and a hallway in 25minutes!
hey man their was a rectangle as well
Splatty, please keep going with this scenario. We need to see how far this one can go.
I'm having a hell of a time getting started with the ancients.

hmmmm pizza oh splat uploaded? nice movie night
thaumaturge a worker of wonders and performer of miracles; a magician.
and a lectern is a reading desk /podium like what preachers use
in modern language a thaumaturge is a magic blacksmith, thaumaturgy is the process of creating magic tools or items
Splatter, the tomb chamber is one person for chamber, so you need two Chambers
Music evokes Secret of Mana.
Sam Monnett the colors too.
Love to see a series on this.
Basicly dwarf fortress with a better UI , and a tileset. Like it
This seems to be coming along nicely. After gnomoria im kinda skiddish of these sort of colony builders, such an unfinished mess left abandoned.
Time will tell though. I thought Gnomoria was good too until i put several hours into it and found the massive flaws.

Nice! Need to play this again when I get a chance. You might like Rekindling, and Soulash ;-)
Thanks now that I saw this game, gonna get myself a copy
21:53 just block off your current entrance and build a new one where you want it.
You can farm organic materials for shards.
Dwarf Fortress.
Meh not my cup of tea, but I enjoyed your review and short impressions play through of it.
id love to see more on this
This game seems closer to dwarf fortress then rimworld, I just get so much nostalgia from DF when watching this review. But then again, rimworld was inspired by Dwarf fortress, so while rimworld is different it still has it's similarities.
Thaumaturge is dps class, turns into blackmage.
I hope this becomes a constant play! Also any news on the goblin village game you played awhile ago?
I want a video of the other races playthough! Also can you do more desert sky playthough! Please and thank you!
There is only humans and the one he played so far. Still a pretty cool hame tho
Interesting game ... *looks for more*
Does this game also have an adventure mode like dwarf fortress?
What you mean this game will have a steam release later on? It's been on steam since january
Are you going to do a play through of Dwarf Fortress when it finishes coming to steam?
Its on the bay12 website and its free
The steam version is not coming out for a year to two years
@@varminthevermin8371 Yeah, it's a great game. I was just curious if Splatty would do something with it once it is available on steam.
thaumaturge is a person that studies magic. so prob good for research
so, dwarf fortress, but no dwarves, less refined/deep in some ways, but prettier UI etc.
otherwise known as, dwarf fortress for plebs.
also, I am a pleb.
this is giving me some Dwarf Fortress vibes, minus the player-unfriendliness.
Can we get a video or two of Ingnomia?
This is a pixelated rimworld
I like it
Fight Magic sounds so hard
MOAR!!!
Love your vids bro ..will always support you😁🐒
This is super difficult to watch, but it's insanely interesting and well worth watching, hope to see more!
Also alpha 1 of rimworld sound terrifying to imagine lol.
Yoy Dwarf Fortress is way more complex than tons of games it calculates every tile on the map every tick in the game
Yah I wish I could watch this zoomed in
20:33 LOL 😆
will this be a series?
12:08 war chickens by any chance?
Well, that's a purchase.
yeah they may be nicer than necrons were still gonna purge them
You should come back to streets of rogue it finally released and has added a lot since you last played.
He did yesterday
lol idk how i missed that
Evication
This game needs Dwarfs!
This is simple dwarf fortress
whats the other game he keeps mentioning? namoria?
Gnomoria
Wow a more user friendly dwarf fortress?
I'm gonna binge play this
Yo the building menu has tabs dude.
More Please!
U should play more KeeperRL
This just seems like a micromanagement horror..
Uhm, splaaat, Thaums in FFXIV aren't healers. They're DPS. XD CONJURERS are healers.
Hi Splatt!
Can you continue to show this
Cool
I cant see anything can it b zoom in?
Can't zoom in, its a pixelated view, zooms show u the next layers, but its totally OK this way! :)
Needs moar text search for items in menus but looks cool otherwise.
diggah tunhel dig dig ah tunnel
More please.
this is kinda like keeperrl
Overlord anyone?
If you'd only have went 1 z level lower, you'd be digging faster.
