was the game ever confirmed woke or was that just a rumor? i lost interest in it when i heard the dev was going to insert non-binary dwarves or whatever it was.
LGBT dwarves always existed. The game was originally just 2 genders with straightness but tarnny wanted to appeal to the troony and inserted different sexualities while people hail it as a good thing because more game mechanics = good!
Awesome, when are we going to have dwarf uprisings into genociding non-straights as a mechanic?
>LGBT dwarves always existed.
Meant to say it existed before tarnny decided to monetize the game. But it didn't exist in earlier versions of DF.
From what I remember it's a pain in the ass to remove LGBT as you have to change it for all races, game options, or something, and also regen your world
You can literally have LGBT farm animals unless he "fixed" that. Imagine having a pig that won't procreate with female pigs because it's gay therefore denying you having a pig farm.
You Black folk never fail to disappoint me with how moronic your justifications to hate a game are.
DF has so many fricking problems, from its conception as a simulator rather than a game, to FPS problems due to autistic simulationist prioririties, but no, what's most important is the fact that Toady is a woke SJW and that's why the game ACTUALLY sucks.
You're like a psyop. There are so many legitimate criticisms that will be dismissed because you push the narrative away from those, to shitty criticisms about politics.
>From what I remember it's a pain in the ass to remove LGBT as you have to change it for all races
Lol, what are you talking about. It takes less than 2 min to do it with notepad++
>He also tried to deliberately hide the option for people to remove LGBT from the game. >hide
but it is really obvious and about as simple as any dorf fort modding can possibly be? no harder than allowing beards for female dwarves and no need to even add anything, just change a few numbers. anyone with the most basic understanding of dorf fort tokens can figure it out
It's worth adding to this that it was politically motivated. The dev spontaneously, out of no where, came out with political rants, then started additional funding, going on a deranged rant about how they are "literally dying due to the moron death camps"(?), and then simultaneously padded the game with gender identities.
It wasn't a simulation thing. The guy just went off the deep end. It was weird as frick.
>your animals can be gay so they cant breed so your fortress starves >same with dwarfs no population growth >this leads to you unintentionally doing hate crimes against homosexuals by purposefully killing them because they provide no value
people will stand and clap just because they see "gay" not the implications of it
You cant force them to breed if they're gay gay dwarfs will never breed even if you lock them with a woman for 4000 years so now you have a dwarf that'll never breed so you chuck him down a fricking hole because he's gonna eat and drink and use resources this is why being gay in these games cannot work Rimworld kinda got away with it because in that game you couldnt have children (before the dlc) but it was still annoying because your pawns would constantly hit on the gay person and be pissed that they got rejected
This isnt even hating homosexuals or whatever every time gay shit is put into survival type games it always fricks something up

You're right, it's important to discuss the legitimate problems with the game. I want to discuss those with people who aren't using the game to push globohomosexual politics into a simulation game about dwarves. You wouldn't discuss the saltiness of french fries with a line cook that had put a severed rat head on your plate.
Globohomosexual is when gay people exist now, I guess. The game doesn't even let you know which dwarves are gay/bisexual unless you spelunk their fricking relationship tabs like an autist.
Anon, this is a shill board.

The real issues are totally those gays and trannies and their inclusion or lack thereof. Just keep focused on that. In fact, why are you trying to distract from our distraction tactic. You're not one of *them*, are you?
This is true. I played many many hours of Dwarf Fortress years ago, it's incredibly fun when you don't know what you're doing, but as soon as you're competent with the game it becomes incredibly boring due to how poorly designed a lot of the systems are. It's so incredibly easy to get a sustainable fort going even in the harshest environments, and invasions are never an issue, a squad of dwarves training for a year and kitted out with steel is enough to beat 90% of enemies.

homosexuals having a war against reality is more important than one video game being shitty
Is there no way to segregate them?
In Rimworld I tend to enslave the browns/homos.
I like to forcefeed them drugs and give them peg legs then release them into the wild so they come back in future raids with more free drugs to forcefeed the other Blacks.

It's a matter of principal.
Gay shit is stored in the civ file iirc not the actual creature files.
No worries, here's how to "fix" the problem:

Cheers I was looking for that. modding in the steam version is moronic and didn't work for me hopefully directly editing the files will fix the problem
>was the game ever confirmed woke or was that just a rumor?
Kitfox games were literally selected because their members had high postcounts on the bay12 forums.
bay12 forums have been troony central for decades.
i'm bummed to hear that since i always thought it was cool how long dwarf fortress has been in development just on donations (as far as i know). that was before the steam release of course.
still don't understand why they didn't add sliding movement for the steam release. instead of the tiles snapping to the new game state it would have done a lot to have everything slide from the old state to the new one, i can't imagine it would have been that complicated to do (only graphical).
interpolating between two game states doesn't require consistent framerate. sure it looks better but it's not required.
if you don't know what i refer to you can see for example RimWorld or Prison Architect. that's the kind of interpolation animation (character movement) that would have worked great for Dwarf Fortress.
Jesus fricking Christ dude I am done with this gay ass earth. I will now cheer when I see homosexuals get wrecked in the news. It happens all of the fricking time too.
>enjoy your dystopian future with body types, beards on body type B, and pronoun slide--AACK!
don't care, female dwarves have always had beards, that's like the dwarf joke 101, I literally do not give a shit about what my little pixel dwarf has as their pronoun
can't wait to shit on something you care about in the future. if you notice something and come warning me about how bad things will be if we keep being okay with things constantly accelerating i'll just take a steaming hot crap all over you and smear it all over your face as you cry about having only the best of intentions. it will be a bonding experience.
>tiny thing you don't have to engage with ruins your entire experience

yes. you give me shit, i give it back. do enjoy your games filled with homosexuality, 40% white characters, rainbow flags, women acting like men, trans backstories, politically correct jokes, and female leaders. it's only the beginning and i'm sure another 10 years of acceleration will make a fine young generation in real life that will take humanity to the stars.

There is no reason to read further into the thread than this. Fricking dumb shitters throwing woke fear drama into every thread even though they don't actually care.

>I was unaware we were getting new music >Simon swerwer's guitar music is one of my favourites >Listen to the first minute of the first song in the album
I'm gonna nut.
He did not. The adventure UI was too fricking complicate to translate in the steam version (especially the wrestling system), and took 15 months to rewrite it from scratch. This without counting the procedural sprites for the portraits of the adventurer and the new musics.
the real reason for not enabling adventure mode is not that the UI change utterly buttfricked the keyboard input system, it's because the way the map system changed during the steam update.
adventure mode has always loaded the game world relatively seamlessly, but fortress mode embark sites were restricted to 16x16 region tile grids, which represented one world map tile. adventure mode towns and sites could be placed almost anywhere, and would have their border spill over world map tile edges. this implies things, like your fortress not being able to have a maximum size due to a portion of your embark site being filled with human town or something.
so the world map tile ceased to exist and now only regional embark tiles exist, changing the world map to basically 16 times in dimensions.
this obviously creates problems for a 20+ year old game project from an self-taught amateur.
tl;dr, time ran out fixing prior mistakes and adventure mode got fricked.
Which is funny because it's basically the only thing he put any effort into for like a decade before he decided to try sell the game, too.
He just kept adding worldgen shit which was only relevant to adventure mode but did not make it function as a videogame.
Adventure mode got fricked over pretty hard even before the entire game was cucked into Steam. There used to be a decent, simple gameplay loop: get quests from randos until you got famous enough to take quests from the local lord, then take those quests until you got famous enough to go to the city, then take those quests until they send you after a Bronze Colossus and die (or retire/try to genocide the world if you somehow kill it). There was a system to send you after harder enemies as your reputation grew, and you could also recruit more dudes, which helped you kill tougher things. There was still a lot of bullshit (goblins and elves not existing, copper bolts oneshotting you after 25 hours, companions drowning in rivers, forgetting to disable bogeymen) but there was the semblance of a game there. You upgraded your equipment over time. The intricate combat logs, potential for silliness. and frickheug chaotic battles were fun. In the last good versions you could even be a Necromancer, Vampire or Werebeast, the former two of which were pretty neat.
Then the rumors update happened and fricked all of that over. The gameplay loop disappeared, replaced with spamming one conversation option that you had to scroll to, in an unnecessarily large list of conversation options, over and over again. The quests were just locations populating on your worldmap and often had no real tangible reward, because you could only "turn them in" by spreading rumors of your success - which was an esoteric system that was location-based and didn't fricking work most of the time. Cities dropped your FPS to 1-5, making going anywhere in them a slog. But, you wanted to go in them anyway, because you could steal all kinds of expensive shit from the Castle and use it to buy Steel arms/armor before you ever fought anything. Recruiting people was jank as frick. It was basically unplayable. Then they just killed it, which was honestly merciful.

I'd like to say I was disappointed, but the game is moddable. Finding a unique theme to add isn't that easy. He should literally just focus on adding extending ways to mod.
Don't know about Clanfolk, but DF, while being the game that inspired RimWorld, is quite different.
1) DF doesn't care about you. The game's world has a life of its own. Things happen and you have to deal with them. But in RimWorld, the game very clearly revolves around you. A manhunter pack will be generated based on your wealth, even though those animals couldn't care less about your fine tiling.
2) DF has a larger scale, causing the dwarves to be disposable. RimWorld is oriented for mostly sub 20 pawn colonies.
3) DF is 3D, RimWorld is 2D.
To be fair, the problem I have with Dwarf Fortress is pretty simple. It might simulate an entire world with thousands of years of history and whatever else. But none of this has any real effect on you as you play the game.
It feels like the people who made it don't understand the entire purpose of a game is to keep the player entertained. Filling it with so much superfluous details is just a waste of time and resources. I do not care if a half dwarf demon princess married a 1/4th walking penis demigoon in 274ad. This has literally no effect on anything. A manhunter pack of animals however does. It presents a challenge I have to overcome.

He doesn't know that certain events like werebeast attacks and megabeasts, sieges, etc are tied to how much Created Wealth your fortress has and the Population of your fort, werebeasts can only attack after the first migrant wave IIRC due to a population minimum required. You can change these variables through modding though.
Yes, but only if you're playing with a mod that removes the pocket system. I don't think I've ever seen such a badly implemented system in a game before.
Yes. Pockets have a capacity as well as a size. If an item is too big to fit in any of your pockets, even if you have capacity for it, you cannot hold the item.
You can also get pockets inside of pockets inside of pockets and when you pick items up it randomly puts them into a pocket. You have no real control over this.
The UI is also absolutely awful for dealing with pockets. You cannot just open a window and move items around easily. You have to navigate through lists of lists of lists to find shit. And god help you if you want to move an item from one pocket to another, it basically requires a PHD in pockets to do.
Inventory management in CDDA is an absolute fricking menace since they added pockets. It wouldn't be so bad if you had a better UI where you could just use your mouse to click shit and everything was visual, but it's not.
Also I forgot to mention. Sometimes pockets are just randomly closed because they are. What this means is items can be put into the pocket, but the contents of the pocket are hidden until you open it.
You can literally pick up a backpack with 8 pockets, each of these having 2-6 pockets in them and each of those having multiple pockets of their own and half of these pockets are just randomly closed so you don't know what they contain and when you pick up an item, if it will fit into a pocket it will randomly be put into one of those 900 pockets you've got.
Have fun trying to find where that shit ended up.

Bright Nights does not have the pocket system at all. If you pick up a container and equip it, you simply gain more inventory space to put items in.
The only two things that matter in Bright Nights are how much weight your character can hold, and how much inventory space you have. Nothing else.

CDDA tries to be an overly complex reality simulator, which at times is a detriment to the gameplay experience it's self.
Bright Nights focuses on being a game first and foremost. It doesn't have the complexity but is generally just a better experience.

Must be nice not having any real problems.
But realistically trannies didn't exist in fantasy times. And in reality, the population of people who are trannies is abysmally small. In my country about 0.5% of people identify as a troony, of those only a 3rd will have any kind of surgery and of those about 40% end up regretting it. The figure for people who think they are a troony then change their mind is also pretty high but quality studies on it are almost impossible to find because most people who participate in these studies end up dropping out. But it could be as high as 60%.
This is reality. Not a flat 50% chance of someone being a troony.
The only one who needs to be in a psycho ward are people like you who think you can become a woman by cutting your dick off.
Just remember, in 1000 years when archeologists find your remains, they will see your bones and identify you as a man. If they test your DNA, you will be a man. Infact, there will be nothing left of you that identifies you as a woman.
Something I think a lot of people didn't realize is that we're actually getting healing potions next update. they'll be procedural. They've said that this will be the 'start' of the magic system.
they said they're done with big updates that take multiple years and they want to release the "magic update" in pieces
hopefully this doesn't just mean the updates will get smaller but still take a long time
The procedurally-generated schools of magic are still the thing I'm most excited about. I think that'll really allow different worlds to feel unique. Imagine a school of magic where you can use the blood on the ground as fuel to cast your fricking fireballs.
I really want to see how far they go with the complexity and proceduralness by the end of it.
>Imagine a school of magic where you can use the blood on the ground as fuel to cast your fricking fireballs.
That's cool but what about cum and piss and shit and hahahaha boogers hahahaha literal snot rockets
Is there anywhere specific where I can read about the eventual plans for magic?
Or is this a "Toady has said a million different small things over the years" kinda deal?
Youd have to look for one interviews he did with blind guy
but the gist of it is that:
>Toady being a caveman never fully used source control in DF development process >Updates were made in all or nothing big packages every 2-3 years followed by bug fixing >Magic and Myth big update relied on doing a big update to rewrite of the map gen code first >Steam release and toady gets a fat paycheck well above his expectaions >Hire a new dev to help with QoL, bugs and performace >Now Toady has to actually use source control like an actual human being >He can actually delevop and test multiple thing at same time and implement them on the main code when its ready >He will now abbandon the old big update MO and we will get both the Myth and Magic and the map rewrite in small more frequent updates >Adventure mode for example will feature proceduraly generated healing magic as well as being able to call for inteventions from the gods >Behind the curtains he has stated that he got pocket dimension already working for future multidimensional shenanigans and portal and interdimentional travel magic I guess

>we're actually getting healing potions next update. they'll be procedural.
What does that mean?
One potion can only heal your left leg while another can heal both your right arm and nose?
We're not totally sure yet. We just know 'it's procedural!'. Could be anything - the how you get healed, where you get healed, what you need to get healed, who knows.

I just watched Hercules so I am going to build a Philoctetes training ground for my adventurers to pick up equipment and when I die or retire I'll add a statue of them and their deeds.
Whenever the game loads a chunk it is actually generating every single tile in that chunk on every Z-level from the sky all the way down to hell.
This meant every time you walked into a new chunk in adventure mode you'd have a brief few seconds of generation happening. Other games (like Minecraft) instead generate these z-levels as you discover them (with the exceptions of caves in Minecraft, which is why sometimes you can see them before the chunk loads in).
Because we didn't get a map rewrite this problem is still going to exist and you're still going to have to load every chunk like you're playing Morrowind on the xbox.
It's been almost a decade since I last played adventure mode.
Can someone confirm to me if I a remembering this correctly but can you break you hand by pummeling someone's already broken skull?
What do you hope they stealth fixed/added/changed in Adventure mode? Stuff equivalent to the gem walls and Angels in Fortress Mode or the rampaging animals in savage zones.
Cancel it and make the base game that everyone plays fricking stable. Quit burning development time on one of the most shallow roguelikes on the market and make fortress mode function.

Yeah that's not gonna fix it. Demigods were supposed to have the ability to communicate with their god and recieve personal quests. They're not just dudes with higher stat bases anymore.

DF is a dogshit unfinished game made by 2 troony lover brothers.
Songs of Syx is a much better game, and it seems that it will be finished in my lifetime.
I don't know what is it about this genre of games that causes this behavior. You'd think that the autism required to play those games would result in some comfy threads since autists are passionate about their shit.
>result in some comfy threads
Here's the thing you're forgetting, anybody can post in a thread. I'm willing to bet 80% of the posters in this thread have never played DF.
>Ah, didn't realize the general got moved to /vst/ lmao.
Reasonably.
It has been kind of a soft move for now after some mad anon tried to bring back on /vg/ again, but failed after one full thread. Then the dorfanons just went back to a rimworldgay schizo anti-DF thread on /vst/ that he was plannig to keep bumped for the rest of the year, and kicked him out of it and took it over to.
You really should lurk more before posting.
Let me guess you're the guy where if people are talking about Resident Evil you interject with Silent Hill and vice versa for no fricking reason because they're the same genre and the ritalin doesn't hit the same as 10 years ago for you.
Problem with these simulation games is that they have to constantly frick over the player to make it gamey. They can't just have a nice peaceful prosperous world to build.
Havent played adventure mode since he added the ability to raid the necromancer towers and raise the dead yourself.
Can you get married and live a normal life while building a farm with your wife? Or is that still 2 decades away?

Without any indication on my map.
I bought the game to fund Adventure Mode so I'll have an RPG to play someday instead of replaying Elder Scrolls over and over
I am not satisfied with this bare bones update.
By bought you mean you went onto his website and donated there so he would get all the money, and not get only a portion after it went to steam and kitfox...right?
Fortress mode was ready for release, but Adventure mode was not. Toady polled the fans to see if people wanted to release Steam version now or wait until Adventure mode was also ready. People voted release now, so Adventure mode was disabled and Steam was released.
>I excitedly waited a whole fricking year and a half for this piece of shit unfinished beta full of 'coming soon'
Did they even mention that it was going to be a beta? It didn't say anything about that on the trailer.
I'm done with this game
>when they released the actual date
Which was super recently, I feel it's justified for people to feel like they were deceived.
Now we'll be waiting another year for adventure mode to leave beta and still not have all of the promised features.
Anyways, isn't beta supposed to be feature complete? This feels more like an alpha
You literally had to switch to a bata branch to get the update.
I have no idea how they're going to release it into the main patch when it's in this current state.
You'll get bored in around 10 minutes after you notice everything is branded as coming soon and realize the adventure mode in its current state is nothing but a glorified legends reader with combat and movement
For me UnReal World has been satisfying the need for an adventuring, survival, crafting roguelike for years now, ever since I was first disappointed by the adventure mode in Dwarf Fortress.
It's way less fantasy oriented with the only fantasy element being giving offerings to ancient gods and performing rituals, but I'm not actually sure if those even really do anything.
Recently, I've been playing Unreal World and thinking, "Damn, I wish DF adventure mode was more like that." But it's pretty different; it leans mostly towards the survival aspect, and the setting is a low fantasy version of early mediaeval Finland. No monsters, little magic, only humans. The dialogue system is pretty simple, especially compared to DF, and there is little interaction with human NPCs.
>Have to drop objects one by one >Game closes the inventory every time I do it >You have to reopen the speech menu every time you reply to an NPC
Also the game lags, is full of UI glitches, you can't change the adventure mode shortcuts, the music doesn't play, game crashes frequently and it gets stuck for a bit while trying to save a file.
What is this absolute fricking garbage Toady my man, I was actually excited for this
This fricking sucks, man. I just wanted fantasy no man's sky with people in it. How us it so difficult to bolt a GUI onto what already existed? Is the codebase seriously that fricked?
>We are less than a month away from April, which means Adventure Mode launch is just around the corner. Time flies when you’re developing FUN! We wanted to share our launch plans with you as they will be a little different from what we did with Fortress Mode. The beta for Adventure Mode will open on April 17th (Tarn’s birthday!). Anyone who owns Dwarf Fortress on Steam will be able to access the beta. Adventure Mode will fully launch a few weeks later on the main branch. We will be announcing the official release date as soon as we can.
>a few weeks later on the main branch.
I wonder if that's still the plan or rather what's the actual ETA for an adventure mode that has all of its parts.
>The beta for Adventure Mode will open on April 17th (Tarn’s birthday!). >Adventure Mode will fully launch a few weeks later on the main branch. >We will be announcing the official release date as soon as we can.
You probably can make an assessment from what happened behind the curtains from those 3 lines
Hopefully they will work Toady into another autistic outburst and he will throw the leafs through the window like he did with his Math PhD in his old job. Maybe even go back to his Meth PhD too.
I expected this beta to be more of a formality to weed out errant bugs that could be noticed with the flood of players to playtest, not over half the features straight up not working or not added. will they really add all this shit in just a few weeks time? I'm doubtful
>Toady and his gay loving canadian advisors will probably spend the rest of the year trying to fix adventure mode to a playable state and adding all of the basic mechanics while other colony sim games keep getting constant updates and improvements
I'm not gonna say that this looks bleak for the future of Dwarf Fortress but I honestly think it does

New soundtrack:

was the game ever confirmed woke or was that just a rumor? i lost interest in it when i heard the dev was going to insert non-binary dwarves or whatever it was.
LGBT dwarves always existed. The game was originally just 2 genders with straightness but tarnny wanted to appeal to the troony and inserted different sexualities while people hail it as a good thing because more game mechanics = good!
Awesome, when are we going to have dwarf uprisings into genociding non-straights as a mechanic?
https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Orientation
He also tried to deliberately hide the option for people to remove LGBT from the game.
well frick that game then, sad to hear it was true.
thanks for taking the time to answer me.
>LGBT dwarves always existed.
Meant to say it existed before tarnny decided to monetize the game. But it didn't exist in earlier versions of DF.
From what I remember it's a pain in the ass to remove LGBT as you have to change it for all races, game options, or something, and also regen your world
You can literally have LGBT farm animals unless he "fixed" that. Imagine having a pig that won't procreate with female pigs because it's gay therefore denying you having a pig farm.
It's a matter of principal.
Gay shit is stored in the civ file iirc not the actual creature files.
>From what I remember it's a pain in the ass to remove LGBT as you have to change it for all races
Lol, what are you talking about. It takes less than 2 min to do it with notepad++
>He also tried to deliberately hide the option for people to remove LGBT from the game.
>hide
but it is really obvious and about as simple as any dorf fort modding can possibly be? no harder than allowing beards for female dwarves and no need to even add anything, just change a few numbers. anyone with the most basic understanding of dorf fort tokens can figure it out
>grr stop noticing things!
>maybe he'll not inform other people if i post the animation?
It's worth adding to this that it was politically motivated. The dev spontaneously, out of no where, came out with political rants, then started additional funding, going on a deranged rant about how they are "literally dying due to the moron death camps"(?), and then simultaneously padded the game with gender identities.
It wasn't a simulation thing. The guy just went off the deep end. It was weird as frick.
same thing happened to the wachowski bros
>your animals can be gay so they cant breed so your fortress starves
>same with dwarfs no population growth
>this leads to you unintentionally doing hate crimes against homosexuals by purposefully killing them because they provide no value
people will stand and clap just because they see "gay" not the implications of it
>slaughtering your population instead of forcing them to breed
You're thinking small.
You cant force them to breed if they're gay gay dwarfs will never breed even if you lock them with a woman for 4000 years so now you have a dwarf that'll never breed so you chuck him down a fricking hole because he's gonna eat and drink and use resources this is why being gay in these games cannot work Rimworld kinda got away with it because in that game you couldnt have children (before the dlc) but it was still annoying because your pawns would constantly hit on the gay person and be pissed that they got rejected
This isnt even hating homosexuals or whatever every time gay shit is put into survival type games it always fricks something up
>whatever every time gay shit is put into survival type games it always fricks something up
Reminds me of the survival/apocalypse scenario that women get so upset over.
>If you're the last man on the planet and are on island filled with women but they are all lesbians/ not attracted to you would you rape them for the survival/continuation of humanity?
I would rape them, but only for personal pleasure. I don't care about "the human race".
You probably frick up and rape your moronic ass.
No point, that's not enough genetic diversity since you need like 1k of each gender to not go full Hapsburg immediately. Better off breaking open the sperm banks.
>animal being a homosexual and causes starvation
You don't like FUN? It would be pretty funny to make only dwarfs straight and slaugther any gay being.
I mean elfs are genuine homosexuals.
You Black folk never fail to disappoint me with how moronic your justifications to hate a game are.
DF has so many fricking problems, from its conception as a simulator rather than a game, to FPS problems due to autistic simulationist prioririties, but no, what's most important is the fact that Toady is a woke SJW and that's why the game ACTUALLY sucks.
You're like a psyop. There are so many legitimate criticisms that will be dismissed because you push the narrative away from those, to shitty criticisms about politics.
keep empowering the cultists, brainlet. one day you won't even get to complain about it anonymously.
You're right, it's important to discuss the legitimate problems with the game. I want to discuss those with people who aren't using the game to push globohomosexual politics into a simulation game about dwarves. You wouldn't discuss the saltiness of french fries with a line cook that had put a severed rat head on your plate.
that analogy doesn't make any fricking sense
Globohomosexual is when gay people exist now, I guess. The game doesn't even let you know which dwarves are gay/bisexual unless you spelunk their fricking relationship tabs like an autist.
I'm sorry you hate yourself that much.
Anon, this is a shill board.
You're not allowed to notice that idpol does nothing but distract from real issues.
The real issues are totally those gays and trannies and their inclusion or lack thereof. Just keep focused on that. In fact, why are you trying to distract from our distraction tactic. You're not one of *them*, are you?
This is true. I played many many hours of Dwarf Fortress years ago, it's incredibly fun when you don't know what you're doing, but as soon as you're competent with the game it becomes incredibly boring due to how poorly designed a lot of the systems are. It's so incredibly easy to get a sustainable fort going even in the harshest environments, and invasions are never an issue, a squad of dwarves training for a year and kitted out with steel is enough to beat 90% of enemies.
>from its conception as a simulator rather than a game
That's not a problem. It's a peculiarity of the game.
the problem is that they waste precious dev hours appeasing to trannies rather than making the game good.
the game is decades old at this point
there are no precious dev hours
it will never be properly baked
give up
homosexuals having a war against reality is more important than one video game being shitty
Or maybe these problems always existed in the game, so I'm not going to pay money for it if the dev is a gay anyway?
The publishers are furry troonys and I wish that was hyperbole.
The majority of the dwarves are all different shades of shitskin too now but theres an easy fix for that.
So it's like a D&D youtuber's tavern?
>now

In Rimworld I tend to enslave the browns/homos.
I like to forcefeed them drugs and give them peg legs then release them into the wild so they come back in future raids with more free drugs to forcefeed the other Blacks.
cheers
time won't matter since they ban mods that goes against the cult narrative

Cheers I was looking for that. modding in the steam version is moronic and didn't work for me hopefully directly editing the files will fix the problem
>was the game ever confirmed woke or was that just a rumor?
Kitfox games were literally selected because their members had high postcounts on the bay12 forums.
bay12 forums have been troony central for decades.
i'm bummed to hear that since i always thought it was cool how long dwarf fortress has been in development just on donations (as far as i know). that was before the steam release of course.
still don't understand why they didn't add sliding movement for the steam release. instead of the tiles snapping to the new game state it would have done a lot to have everything slide from the old state to the new one, i can't imagine it would have been that complicated to do (only graphical).
Motion requires a vaguely consistent framerate which DF absolutely does not have.
interpolating between two game states doesn't require consistent framerate. sure it looks better but it's not required.
if you don't know what i refer to you can see for example RimWorld or Prison Architect. that's the kind of interpolation animation (character movement) that would have worked great for Dwarf Fortress.
Rent free.
i was just asking a question, homosexual. wait until you're old enough to see something you care about be destroyed by cultists.
Dropped after I heard one of the devs whinging about "facists"
Jesus fricking Christ dude I am done with this gay ass earth. I will now cheer when I see homosexuals get wrecked in the news. It happens all of the fricking time too.
I can confirm that the LGBTQ army has officially conquered the studio and the game has been utterly ruined!! uninstall it quick anon!!!
not very funny, do better next time. but do enjoy your dystopian future with body types, beards on body type B, and pronoun sliders.
>enjoy your dystopian future with body types, beards on body type B, and pronoun slide--AACK!
don't care, female dwarves have always had beards, that's like the dwarf joke 101, I literally do not give a shit about what my little pixel dwarf has as their pronoun
can't wait to shit on something you care about in the future. if you notice something and come warning me about how bad things will be if we keep being okay with things constantly accelerating i'll just take a steaming hot crap all over you and smear it all over your face as you cry about having only the best of intentions. it will be a bonding experience.
Literal npc dialogue.
yes. you give me shit, i give it back. do enjoy your games filled with homosexuality, 40% white characters, rainbow flags, women acting like men, trans backstories, politically correct jokes, and female leaders. it's only the beginning and i'm sure another 10 years of acceleration will make a fine young generation in real life that will take humanity to the stars.
I see we've reached the end of the NPC dialogue tree. Good golly.
frick you, how about that for an ending? that's right, i'm still here. i bet you really do favor all the things i listed.

And now with adventure mode you can personally mutilate and choke the life out of them.
There are so many valid points to shit on the game in its current state, but a 3 second edit in notepad isn't it.
it's about knowing beforehand so money exchange can be avoided.
sure, we're "mindbroken" by you and not "disgusted"...
Hahaha call it whatever you want man, the result is the same
yes, the result is that people don't want to be near homosexuals and degenerates. congrats on that, you take over some games. it usually won't do much good in real life though, which is why i'm upset over it influencing the next generation.
was thinking about the steam version, the real version is still too much for me to get into.
Oh honey, you lost the culture war years ago, all you can do is rage against the inevitable.
homosexual it's far from over. lefties aren't having kids so your ideas will die with you. no, teachers don't have that much influence compared to parents. that's why infecting games and movies is so important to the cult.
>lefties aren't having kids so your ideas will die with you

I hate for the life of me when devs say "it will be released on the Xth of whatever" and then make you wait for the end of the day to be able to play
Due to timezones, this happens for every release.
What he needs to do is spend his millions to hire a team to remake the game from the ground up to be multi threaded
Why did he remove adventure mode?
Fortress mode was ready for the Steam release long before Adventure mode was, so it wasn't included.
He did not. The adventure UI was too fricking complicate to translate in the steam version (especially the wrestling system), and took 15 months to rewrite it from scratch. This without counting the procedural sprites for the portraits of the adventurer and the new musics.
I hope it all functions
adventure mode wrestling is kino I love defanging vampires with my bare hands
the real reason for not enabling adventure mode is not that the UI change utterly buttfricked the keyboard input system, it's because the way the map system changed during the steam update.
adventure mode has always loaded the game world relatively seamlessly, but fortress mode embark sites were restricted to 16x16 region tile grids, which represented one world map tile. adventure mode towns and sites could be placed almost anywhere, and would have their border spill over world map tile edges. this implies things, like your fortress not being able to have a maximum size due to a portion of your embark site being filled with human town or something.
so the world map tile ceased to exist and now only regional embark tiles exist, changing the world map to basically 16 times in dimensions.
this obviously creates problems for a 20+ year old game project from an self-taught amateur.
tl;dr, time ran out fixing prior mistakes and adventure mode got fricked.
kekw.
omegalul, even.
People voted to release the fort mode and leave adventure mode for later
adventure mode has honestly always been really barebones
shit barely worked even on the normal version
Which is funny because it's basically the only thing he put any effort into for like a decade before he decided to try sell the game, too.
He just kept adding worldgen shit which was only relevant to adventure mode but did not make it function as a videogame.
Adventure mode got fricked over pretty hard even before the entire game was cucked into Steam. There used to be a decent, simple gameplay loop: get quests from randos until you got famous enough to take quests from the local lord, then take those quests until you got famous enough to go to the city, then take those quests until they send you after a Bronze Colossus and die (or retire/try to genocide the world if you somehow kill it). There was a system to send you after harder enemies as your reputation grew, and you could also recruit more dudes, which helped you kill tougher things. There was still a lot of bullshit (goblins and elves not existing, copper bolts oneshotting you after 25 hours, companions drowning in rivers, forgetting to disable bogeymen) but there was the semblance of a game there. You upgraded your equipment over time. The intricate combat logs, potential for silliness. and frickheug chaotic battles were fun. In the last good versions you could even be a Necromancer, Vampire or Werebeast, the former two of which were pretty neat.
Then the rumors update happened and fricked all of that over. The gameplay loop disappeared, replaced with spamming one conversation option that you had to scroll to, in an unnecessarily large list of conversation options, over and over again. The quests were just locations populating on your worldmap and often had no real tangible reward, because you could only "turn them in" by spreading rumors of your success - which was an esoteric system that was location-based and didn't fricking work most of the time. Cities dropped your FPS to 1-5, making going anywhere in them a slog. But, you wanted to go in them anyway, because you could steal all kinds of expensive shit from the Castle and use it to buy Steel arms/armor before you ever fought anything. Recruiting people was jank as frick. It was basically unplayable. Then they just killed it, which was honestly merciful.
>recruiting was jank as frick
I liked starting a Demigod local noble just so I can go around recruiting warriors to coup and overthrow lords in the area.
>tfw declared 5 different groups because I can't just conquer a site as one group in particular

I haven't played the game for ~5 years.
Why is it still like this? Lmao
Zach got nose cancer. Burgerland health system is shit, so they had to make a Steam launch to get some money. It took 5 years. Next time do not vote Trump. Deh.
Why play this over Rimworld or Clanfolk?
why would you support a moron who charges you 25 bucks for a stolen mod (for the fourth time)?
I said play, not buy
I said support, not buy, ever heard of "brand awareness"?
It's funny, I didn't know about this DLC until last week. The first i saw of it was like 'oh it's just cults'
I'd like to say I was disappointed, but the game is moddable. Finding a unique theme to add isn't that easy.
He should literally just focus on adding extending ways to mod.
Don't know about Clanfolk, but DF, while being the game that inspired RimWorld, is quite different.
1) DF doesn't care about you. The game's world has a life of its own. Things happen and you have to deal with them. But in RimWorld, the game very clearly revolves around you. A manhunter pack will be generated based on your wealth, even though those animals couldn't care less about your fine tiling.
2) DF has a larger scale, causing the dwarves to be disposable. RimWorld is oriented for mostly sub 20 pawn colonies.
3) DF is 3D, RimWorld is 2D.
To be fair, the problem I have with Dwarf Fortress is pretty simple. It might simulate an entire world with thousands of years of history and whatever else. But none of this has any real effect on you as you play the game.
It feels like the people who made it don't understand the entire purpose of a game is to keep the player entertained. Filling it with so much superfluous details is just a waste of time and resources. I do not care if a half dwarf demon princess married a 1/4th walking penis demigoon in 274ad. This has literally no effect on anything. A manhunter pack of animals however does. It presents a challenge I have to overcome.
>1) DF doesn't care about you. The game's world has a life of its own. Things happen and you have to deal with them. But in RimWorld, the game very clearly revolves around you.

He doesn't know that certain events like werebeast attacks and megabeasts, sieges, etc are tied to how much Created Wealth your fortress has and the Population of your fort, werebeasts can only attack after the first migrant wave IIRC due to a population minimum required. You can change these variables through modding though.
Adventure mode always seemed way cooler then the regular mode but it also always felt like an after thought.
Is CDDA just adventure mode but better?
Yes, but only if you're playing with a mod that removes the pocket system. I don't think I've ever seen such a badly implemented system in a game before.
Pocket system? Does each pocket on your character have its own inventory or something?
Yes. Pockets have a capacity as well as a size. If an item is too big to fit in any of your pockets, even if you have capacity for it, you cannot hold the item.
You can also get pockets inside of pockets inside of pockets and when you pick items up it randomly puts them into a pocket. You have no real control over this.
The UI is also absolutely awful for dealing with pockets. You cannot just open a window and move items around easily. You have to navigate through lists of lists of lists to find shit. And god help you if you want to move an item from one pocket to another, it basically requires a PHD in pockets to do.
>You can also get pockets inside of pockets inside of pockets and when you pick items up it randomly puts them into a pocket.
Inventory management in CDDA is an absolute fricking menace since they added pockets. It wouldn't be so bad if you had a better UI where you could just use your mouse to click shit and everything was visual, but it's not.
Also I forgot to mention. Sometimes pockets are just randomly closed because they are. What this means is items can be put into the pocket, but the contents of the pocket are hidden until you open it.
You can literally pick up a backpack with 8 pockets, each of these having 2-6 pockets in them and each of those having multiple pockets of their own and half of these pockets are just randomly closed so you don't know what they contain and when you pick up an item, if it will fit into a pocket it will randomly be put into one of those 900 pockets you've got.
Have fun trying to find where that shit ended up.
How much different is Bright Nights from DDA?
Bright Nights does not have the pocket system at all. If you pick up a container and equip it, you simply gain more inventory space to put items in.
The only two things that matter in Bright Nights are how much weight your character can hold, and how much inventory space you have. Nothing else.
Nah not that in specific, I was just curious about how much different Bright Nights is in general
CDDA tries to be an overly complex reality simulator, which at times is a detriment to the gameplay experience it's self.
Bright Nights focuses on being a game first and foremost. It doesn't have the complexity but is generally just a better experience.
If you want autistic levels of reality, go for CDDA. If you want to be a zombie slaying maniac play Bright Nights.
I honestly wouldn't mind one level of containers, just so you can have like your mechanic and crafting bag vs your exploring bag vs your murder killfrick bag. But they truly implemented it in the most moronic way possible.
It's CDDA before it went full autistic. Fortunately, it merges the normal additions from CDDA development.
I really hate what cdda has become. Did they ever revert the moronic vehicle parts change where you need the right kind of bolts to attach stuff, and you can't get the bolts from just removing other same parts from other vehicles?
Last I checked, it is still there.
The game honestly needs a better UI and mouse support if they want to add that level of autistic inventory management.
>Did they ever revert the moronic vehicle parts change where you need the right kind of bolts to attach stuff, and you can't get the bolts from just removing other same parts from other vehicles?
As a person with multiple trade tickets this shit drives me insane. They are a bunch of gay nerds that sit around and argue about shit they don't even understand. CDDA is just dunning-kruger manifested as a video game.
>was the game ever confirmed woke or was that just a rumor? i lost interest in it when i heard the dev was going to insert non-binary dwarves or whatever it was.
>Make game that is intentionally made to be a realistic fantasy simulator
>Suddenly realism is bad and woke because the mental image of two pixel male dwarves fricking or two pixel female dwarves scissoring is too much for you
Must be nice not having any real problems.
But realistically trannies didn't exist in fantasy times. And in reality, the population of people who are trannies is abysmally small. In my country about 0.5% of people identify as a troony, of those only a 3rd will have any kind of surgery and of those about 40% end up regretting it. The figure for people who think they are a troony then change their mind is also pretty high but quality studies on it are almost impossible to find because most people who participate in these studies end up dropping out. But it could be as high as 60%.
This is reality. Not a flat 50% chance of someone being a troony.
Literal fricking mumbo jumbo nonsense, get thee to a fricking psych ward, schizo.
>Hard facts are mumbo jumbo
The only one who needs to be in a psycho ward are people like you who think you can become a woman by cutting your dick off.
Just remember, in 1000 years when archeologists find your remains, they will see your bones and identify you as a man. If they test your DNA, you will be a man. Infact, there will be nothing left of you that identifies you as a woman.
Are you a bot?
Yes I am infact 20% robot. Are you discriminating against me you fricking nazi bigot?
reminds me of trannies who call their open wound something super cyber punk

Anyway, ignore the Rimworld raiders.
Something I think a lot of people didn't realize is that we're actually getting healing potions next update. they'll be procedural. They've said that this will be the 'start' of the magic system.
they said they're done with big updates that take multiple years and they want to release the "magic update" in pieces
hopefully this doesn't just mean the updates will get smaller but still take a long time
With the graphical bullshit finally out of the way, I hope we can get regular updates every 2-3 months or so, that would be ideal.
The procedurally-generated schools of magic are still the thing I'm most excited about. I think that'll really allow different worlds to feel unique. Imagine a school of magic where you can use the blood on the ground as fuel to cast your fricking fireballs.
I really want to see how far they go with the complexity and proceduralness by the end of it.
>Imagine a school of magic where you can use the blood on the ground as fuel to cast your fricking fireballs.
That's cool but what about cum and piss and shit and hahahaha boogers hahahaha literal snot rockets
Is there anywhere specific where I can read about the eventual plans for magic?
Or is this a "Toady has said a million different small things over the years" kinda deal?
Youd have to look for one interviews he did with blind guy
but the gist of it is that:
>Toady being a caveman never fully used source control in DF development process
>Updates were made in all or nothing big packages every 2-3 years followed by bug fixing
>Magic and Myth big update relied on doing a big update to rewrite of the map gen code first
>Steam release and toady gets a fat paycheck well above his expectaions
>Hire a new dev to help with QoL, bugs and performace
>Now Toady has to actually use source control like an actual human being
>He can actually delevop and test multiple thing at same time and implement them on the main code when its ready
>He will now abbandon the old big update MO and we will get both the Myth and Magic and the map rewrite in small more frequent updates
>Adventure mode for example will feature proceduraly generated healing magic as well as being able to call for inteventions from the gods
>Behind the curtains he has stated that he got pocket dimension already working for future multidimensional shenanigans and portal and interdimentional travel magic I guess
>proceduraly generated healing magic
What does that mean?
we'll find out in 2 hours
a surprising amount of work has been done for the myth and magic update. They showed off the beta myth generator years ago.
It was specifically said that the updates will be smaller, but more frequent.
You fricking idiot.
>You fricking idiot.
sure *i'm* the idiot instead of the guy dropping random links without description. life is too short to follow every link without at least an expectation of where it goes.
What do you mean "without description"? The context of that post isn't enough for you?
>how to "fix" the problem
you don't see the obvious trolling in this?
No.
how moronic are you? your life is too short to follow a link about a topic you are interested in, but its not to short to make 5 meaningless posts that are literally a waste of your time? you are dumb as frick, possibly the dumbest poster I have ever seen
>we're actually getting healing potions next update. they'll be procedural.
What does that mean?
One potion can only heal your left leg while another can heal both your right arm and nose?
We're not totally sure yet. We just know 'it's procedural!'. Could be anything - the how you get healed, where you get healed, what you need to get healed, who knows.

You guys use the mouse?
I just watched Hercules so I am going to build a Philoctetes training ground for my adventurers to pick up equipment and when I die or retire I'll add a statue of them and their deeds.
2 more hours
Can I make a fort already or do I have to wait for the world to be compatible?
You can use an old save but the new potions and demigods are procedurally generated in worldgen.
Whenever the game loads a chunk it is actually generating every single tile in that chunk on every Z-level from the sky all the way down to hell.
This meant every time you walked into a new chunk in adventure mode you'd have a brief few seconds of generation happening. Other games (like Minecraft) instead generate these z-levels as you discover them (with the exceptions of caves in Minecraft, which is why sometimes you can see them before the chunk loads in).
Because we didn't get a map rewrite this problem is still going to exist and you're still going to have to load every chunk like you're playing Morrowind on the xbox.
When is the update coming out?
I am positively shaking at the prospect of doing unspeakable things to goblins.

What do you hope they stealth fixed/added/changed in Adventure mode? Stuff equivalent to the gem walls and Angels in Fortress Mode or the rampaging animals in savage zones.
Cancel it and make the base game that everyone plays fricking stable. Quit burning development time on one of the most shallow roguelikes on the market and make fortress mode function.

SHIT THERE'S NO DEMIGOD MODE
Are you trying to do it on an already generated world?
Ah it seems 'Chosen' (the new Demigod mode) is not available right now at all. It might become available post-beta.
HHAHAHAHAHA
oh no how awf-
>opens up cheat engine
>gives myself unlimited stat points
oopsie 😉
Yeah that's not gonna fix it. Demigods were supposed to have the ability to communicate with their god and recieve personal quests. They're not just dudes with higher stat bases anymore.
Did the update drop already? I forgot I had it uninstalled.
To those who are in: Any changes you can notice right away?
I'm in beta, but I haven't got the update yet....
Maybe it's because I'm in yurope?
Just click to start a new game and you get the option to choose adventure mode after you select a world
Nope, still haven't got the update and "Adventurer" is still "coming soon".
And yes, I'm in beta, just double checked, even restarted Steam.
After downloading the beta go to "Start new game in existing world" -> Select your world -> Choose adventure mode
I'm in Europe so you should be able to play
Well, I had to verify the installation for finally having the game download the beta...
At least now it works.

It has been kind of a soft move for now after some mad anon tried to bring back on /vg/ again, but failed after one full thread.

Problem with these simulation games is that they have to constantly frick over the player to make it gamey. They can't just have a nice peaceful prosperous world to build.
Play the sims then you fricking casual stay the frick out.
Unless you started on a nightmare shithole spot DF gives you alot of free time before you start getting actual danger
You literally cannot be fricked over in df unless you start on a haunted biome. You're always one pull of a lever away from complete safety.
songs of syx is pretty solid but it ain't no dorf fort

Looks like It would've been better just to have waited instead.
Why wasn't the quest log included in the update?
Why wasn't butchering...or trading...or crafting...or personality customization...or building...or spitting...or demigod?
Demi God really is confusing considering it was meant to be the tutorial / super easy mode frick about.

So, from what I'm gathering the beta isn't worth playing? Shame, I was looking forwards to some adventuring over the weekend
Yeah, better to play 47.05 adventure mode while you wait for it to actually release.
yeah the lag is still insane
I just tried wrestling by grabbing someone's weapon but I couldn't wrestle it away from them. The wrestle button is (coming soon) too!

The Leafs really did a number on Toady and this game...didn't they
I've been able to throw people to the ground, gouge their eyes and choke their throat.
But soon after enjoying my victory my game crashed.
I bought the game to fund Adventure Mode so I'll have an RPG to play someday instead of replaying Elder Scrolls over and over
I am not satisfied with this bare bones update.
umm no sweatie, you bought the game to fund cancer treatment
*SRS for the Kitfox staff
By bought you mean you went onto his website and donated there so he would get all the money, and not get only a portion after it went to steam and kitfox...right?
No I used the free money Steam gave me from selling random Counter Strike GO crap last year
Why is everyone so excited about adventure mode, it's been in the game for a decade?
The steam version released without it, and it just got a beta update with only some of it reimplemented.
That's lame, why the frick was it removed?
From the initial steam release?
Because people voted for it to be sacrificed for an early fort mode release
Wasn't gay enough I guess
Fortress mode was ready for release, but Adventure mode was not. Toady polled the fans to see if people wanted to release Steam version now or wait until Adventure mode was also ready. People voted release now, so Adventure mode was disabled and Steam was released.
>I excitedly waited a whole fricking year and a half for this piece of shit unfinished beta full of 'coming soon'
Did they even mention that it was going to be a beta? It didn't say anything about that on the trailer.
I'm done with this game
They mentioned it would be a beta when they released the actual date
I think
>when they released the actual date
Which was super recently, I feel it's justified for people to feel like they were deceived.
Now we'll be waiting another year for adventure mode to leave beta and still not have all of the promised features.
Anyways, isn't beta supposed to be feature complete? This feels more like an alpha
You literally had to switch to a bata branch to get the update.
I have no idea how they're going to release it into the main patch when it's in this current state.
i prefer ascii DF there i said it
Welcome to the club
It begins.
You'll get bored in around 10 minutes after you notice everything is branded as coming soon and realize the adventure mode in its current state is nothing but a glorified legends reader with combat and movement

>breathe

>coming soon
welp is there any good alternatives to Adventure mode?
For me UnReal World has been satisfying the need for an adventuring, survival, crafting roguelike for years now, ever since I was first disappointed by the adventure mode in Dwarf Fortress.
It's way less fantasy oriented with the only fantasy element being giving offerings to ancient gods and performing rituals, but I'm not actually sure if those even really do anything.
Recently, I've been playing Unreal World and thinking, "Damn, I wish DF adventure mode was more like that." But it's pretty different; it leans mostly towards the survival aspect, and the setting is a low fantasy version of early mediaeval Finland. No monsters, little magic, only humans. The dialogue system is pretty simple, especially compared to DF, and there is little interaction with human NPCs.
>and there is little interaction with human NPCs
At least all of the interactions work and don't have (coming soon) plastered next to them.
By the way, Dwarf Fortress General has moved to /vst/, the current thread is

Is it possible to play adventure mode without knowing how to play fortress mode?
yes. they don't play anything alike.

Also the game lags, is full of UI glitches, you can't change the adventure mode shortcuts, the music doesn't play, game crashes frequently and it gets stuck for a bit while trying to save a file.
What is this absolute fricking garbage Toady my man, I was actually excited for this
This fricking sucks, man. I just wanted fantasy no man's sky with people in it. How us it so difficult to bolt a GUI onto what already existed? Is the codebase seriously that fricked?
What do I get?
I plan on avoiding all other games and only playing one for a month.

>Rimworld
>Songs of Syx
Rimworld is so much better than those other 2 its not even a contest
Why? It looks ugly and the UI seems like it has no thought put into it
rimworld is a functioning video game and not a half baked simulator
Well I got my mileage.
I'll be back when there's something else to do apart from torturing random women out in the wilds.
I am so fricking mad.

Did they at any point mention the adventure mode "release" would be a FRICKING BETA?
>Hi Urists,
>We are less than a month away from April, which means Adventure Mode launch is just around the corner. Time flies when you’re developing FUN! We wanted to share our launch plans with you as they will be a little different from what we did with Fortress Mode. The beta for Adventure Mode will open on April 17th (Tarn’s birthday!). Anyone who owns Dwarf Fortress on Steam will be able to access the beta. Adventure Mode will fully launch a few weeks later on the main branch. We will be announcing the official release date as soon as we can.
>a few weeks later on the main branch.
I wonder if that's still the plan or rather what's the actual ETA for an adventure mode that has all of its parts.
There is no reason to release a beta at this point if the mode was anywhere close to being finished. This just makes no sense
>The beta for Adventure Mode will open on April 17th (Tarn’s birthday!).
>Adventure Mode will fully launch a few weeks later on the main branch.
>We will be announcing the official release date as soon as we can.
You probably can make an assessment from what happened behind the curtains from those 3 lines
Hopefully they will work Toady into another autistic outburst and he will throw the leafs through the window like he did with his Math PhD in his old job. Maybe even go back to his Meth PhD too.
I expected this beta to be more of a formality to weed out errant bugs that could be noticed with the flood of players to playtest, not over half the features straight up not working or not added. will they really add all this shit in just a few weeks time? I'm doubtful
>Toady and his gay loving canadian advisors will probably spend the rest of the year trying to fix adventure mode to a playable state and adding all of the basic mechanics while other colony sim games keep getting constant updates and improvements
I'm not gonna say that this looks bleak for the future of Dwarf Fortress but I honestly think it does
/pol/tards are upset about a game they are too moronic to even play the thread.
you have no womb, you will never be a bearded woman.
Yeah, I will never be like your mom.
Exactly, you'll never have a womb.
And all of the onions means that weak chin will forever be exposed under that patchy genetic dead end scrap you grow.
I was calling your mom a bearded woman you dumb frick. The rest of your stupid post is just you projecting
Nah, you just said you'd never be like my mom, never explicitly implied it. Sad to say your ability to communicate in English is horrendous and having to break down your mistakes into the simplest terms possible makes the banter not fun. Good luck with the axe wound my man.
Nope you just can't read or think and you are a homosexual
>after like 20 years toady is finally seriously working on what he considers the main gamemode
Why is autism so fricking strong bros. Game probably wont be "complete" for another 10-20 years
I was looking forward to the beta. This was a mistake.
Turns out it's an actual beta and not early access
Hey wait a minute...It's April right now! Where is it?
What do you mean?
Do you have the beta branch enabled on steam?
Probably not. I'll have to check it out.
