Sounds a lot like a graphical version of Dwarf Fortress, without a lot of the complexity.

Whoever makes Dwarf Fortress with a Minecraft-like renderer will be rich :)

Or even a user interface which is not totally alien to anyone under 30 :)

[EDIT] Before anyone jumps in, I do know about towns etc. but in terms of gameplay depth they are all DF Lite.

[EDIT #2] Totally alien to most people under 30 :)

It makes me sad that all the Dwarf Fortress imitators are not only quite shallow (they're management/building games rather than full-on sims), they also have fairly terrible interfaces. Towns' UI is poor, Gnomoria's is godawful.

I don't really know what they're thinking. Sure they have graphics, but that's about it.

My thoughts exactly. Additionally, their obsession with remaining 2D is probably one of the biggest apparent design flaws. The whole point of a GUI to a DF-like game would surely be to render it in a more information dense, immersive way - not seeing that at all when we're dealing with isometric 2D.

I am 21 and the game interface is not alien to me!
