The rights to produce it were sold to that company due to hardships experienced by DF's developers. Originally posted by Morkonan:The DF release for Steam is a third-party port of a version of the game, not the game as it currently exists. They are too absorbed in trying to find reasons to promote DF than seeing it for what it is - Nigh inaccessible to anyone that doesn't enjoy stabbing themselves in the eyes with knitting needles. Your inner Dwarf-Thetan may be able to grasp the entertainment value that many mere humans seem incapable of finding in Dwarf Fortress.īeware, however - Those who rail against the game's presentation are often decried as Luddite unibrow mouth-breathers incapable of appreciating novel game design that requires "intelligence" to appreciate by DF fans.

I highly recommend you download and install it. And, the devs would then have the luxury of not having to worry about silly little things like paying hospital bills and mortgages, but could have really devoted themselves to creating a "game."

Until then, people have bills to pay.ĭF would likely have been a much better, even game-conquering, game had some professional "game development" and actual "producing of salable product" been attempted. But, the "meek shall inherit the Earth" only after the end of days and not before. Those devs have never charged for DF, leading the charge for more wholesomeness being shown on teh interwebz amongs gamers and the developers that serve them. The DF release for Steam is a third-party port of a version of the game, not the game as it currently exists. But, it's nigh inaccessible and in terms of developers trying to bring the game to players so they can enjoy it, it's a "failure." It's certainly a genre defining game, but if that genre also includes refusing to appeal to a wide audience then it'd be the King of the mountain of inaccessible video games. I think it's a great game and pretty darn cool. How is that possible? Because it's a huge complex pile of spaghetti-code that doesn't have to bother with "graphics." Tynan's development of the "Art Description" in Rimworld yields similar results to DF's "history generator" and everything else in the game that spews out senseless garbled text that make all the kool kids laff. There's all sorts of things you can do, just like with all the base-building, exploring, city-building, trading, rpg etc. And, all the little Dorfs are pretty much like Rimworld Colonists except with very deep histories and goings-ons themselves. OK, so where's the innovation and uber-cool factor, here? Well, it has to do with how the world is generated, how it creates a brand new "history" for every game, all the factions, all the cool setting stuff and stuff.
(At the time of my last try.) They're just a representation of what the little society would look like if you could actually view it immediately after being hit in the head with a whiffle-ball bat forty times. I know you did.) IOW - You can't interact with the graphics with a mouse or anything else for that matter. You can't feed them, bang on the glass, or interact with those fish in any way. It's the equivalent of watching a youtube feed of someone's fishtank. You can, as DF fans will rush to their burning-hot computers to tell you, install "tile-sets" to make the ultra-retro ASCII "graphics" turn into real "graphics." But, it's meaningless. If you've ever used Blender, imagine using Blender to create a complex 3D foliage-laden jungle, but being forbidden to use anything else but your keyboard.
