About
DwarfCorp is an open-source, procedurally generated fantasy real-time strategy/tycoon game in which the player manages a corporate colony of dwarves who mine resources, build structures, and defend against native factions while trying to turn a profit. It's built in C# on XNA/FNA, and development has been financed through Steam and itch.io sales since September 2017, with proceeds going directly to the contracted development team.
Getting started
Most players should get the game via Steam or itch.io rather than building it from source, since compiling requires Visual Studio and Windows-specific XNA/FNA tooling (Mac and Linux users need Mono plus a content package that was first built on Windows).
History
The project began development in late 2011/early 2012, chosen to run on XNA because it was a popular choice at the time.
