And maybe even the other way around :o

I was scourging the web with no purpose, as it's supposed to be done, and I found this:

Maia was based more around Dungeon Keeper in general, rather then just dwarf fortress.

Probably, but it resembles RimWorld a lot nonetheless... or at least its concepts (building a colony in an unfriendly place, digging in stone, growing plants, harvesting food, stocking power... the list goes on).

Fixed, ;)

Also Maia looks pretty good, I bought the alpha and from what i've played I'd say it has a lot of potential.

I took a look into both games and must say.. 3D is sooo overrated!
With the first impressions they gave me, I am glad I backed this game rather than any of them. :)

The whole building a colony on a frontier world thing has always interested me.  I'm also a Maia backer.  I'm not as impressed with Terminus, though.

OK, I took a look into the second video. There Maia looks a bit better.
In the first it looked more like a horror game or something like that. I don't really like horror games..
I admit that the second video looks a bit more interesting. But still I don't know.. is it worth to buy it?

Alpha is alpha, it is  no representation of the final game, be a bit more patient. ;)

Yep I got the same problem. I'm just waiting it out a little.

I've backed both games, but I must admit - I haven't actually tried out Maia yet. Completely forgot to try it with my current backlog of games. :)

Yeah, I'm actively deciding to not play Maia for a while, waiting for it to get a bit more stable and be more of a game.  Its not perfect yet by a long shot, but it -is- an alpha.
