Anyone heard of this leaked game? Towns?

[hemmingjay]

Someone I work with sent me a torrent for a leaked alpha version of a game called "Towns". From the devblog and facebook information I found it seems like Dwarf Fortress. I like the looks of it, but wasn't sure about the gameplay. Was wondering if anyone had tried it?

This might just be the most pathetic attempt at guerilla marketing I've ever encountered in my whole life.

EDIT: Of course, it might just be a coincidence that a person uses his first post in this forum to ask about a game that's beeing advertised one thread below in the same forum.

Also, the game does look interesting.

yeah the stupid thing is that just saying: guys i made this cool game generally goes down a million times better with me...

Actually the first post was some guy who found a torrent of our game. I managed to use it to close down the torrent and promptly set up a new post to divert attention. Just check the name of the post. Anyways, let's hope they close this post down!
