So it's kind of like Dwarf Fortress without the dwarves?

YES so glad this is out now. I am the biggest David O'Reilly fanboy.

During the E3 preview, O'Reilly said this is a perfect thing for running windowed on your desktop while you browse the internet or do whatever else you're doing. Which is great. More games/simulators/things should fit so seamlessly into my MeFi experience.

I've been trying to figure out a way to give David O'Reilly my money since seeing Please Say Something at an animation festival so thank you for posting this.

The problem with the whole 'leave it open while you do other things' is you miss when the red biplane crashes into your peak, and then what do you do?

I just downloaded this and virustotal says the executable contains malware: Win32.Amonetize.WA.

I've been running Mountain for most of today, just letting it spin on my second monitor. Without wanting to spoil anything or anyone, so far it's alternated very slowly between a meditative poem in geography and climate, and moments of deep strangeness. Something is coalescing, accumulating. I don't know what. It's interesting.

Ben Kuchera unsurprisingly misses the point completely, has gnawing feeling that the game is mocking his very existence. (I mean, I don't claim to know entirely what the meaning is yet based on my ~3 hours with it, but I'm sure it's not that.)

(Right on cue, my mountain just asked, "WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS?")
