this is timber born but with cats, I’m hoping it’ll have some differentiating factors between the two but it definitly has more similarities than differences judging by the trailer.

“Takes inspiration from Rimworld and Civ” looks like a bullshit tagline. This is a city builder, not a rimworld-style colony sim or a 4x game. It looks much more comparable to Timberborn, Against the Storm, or Banished. Which isn’t a bad thing. Those are all great games. I just wish there was a bit more honesty in the marketing here.
Anyway, it looks like fun. I’ve wishlisted it.

The RimWorld comparisons don’t strike me as bullshit in the least bit. If you asked me to name one game that came to mind from this trailer, it would be RimWorld. For Civ, I guess it’s those screens that look like diplomacy and trade? That one’s harder to pin down, but I don’t doubt that they were inspired by it in some way, even if it doesn’t manifest very visibly in the trailer.

I guess if you don’t play a huge variety of these kinds of games it could superficially resemble Rimworld, but it strikes me as a very different beast. Like I said, to me it looks much more like Timberborn. The only part of the trailer where it looked anything like Rimworld was the couple of frames where they appeared to be designating some blocks to be mined in order to create a tunnel.
