Your link mentions Fallen Earth a few times but it's not on your list. I played that for a month. The level of depth in the content was impressive. A lot of thought went into it, you'd have to try it out to really see what I mean. I read their newsletter every time it hits my inbox, and I hope they do succeed. But something about their gameplay bored me so much that I've never felt like trying it again.

I went ahead and added it. It looked like from the main page it had sandboxy features. Apparently it won't release with player-owned houses/forts/structures but they're working on it.

zigzag - *[ORK]Gnarlug* Will there be player-owned housing/forts/structures?
FELee - Player housing is a goal, but not something we'll have for release. We'd rather delay it and do it right rather than put something in that's no good. But we eventually totoally want player forts and such.

It does make me worry because if they're this late in development and haven't added player-owned structures than this indicates it's not a core part of their design. That's significant.
