Title: How long before graphics packs are released for DF2014
Post by: Bigfuzzy on July 04, 2014, 05:36:34 am

Hi guys,
As much as i LOVE DF, I'm one of those for which the Ascii graphics just isn't enough. Judge me all you want, but graphics packs is the only way I'm able to enjoy DF.
Having said that, are there plans for graphics packs pretty much right away, or should I put my dreams of playing DF almost immediately after it's released?

Thanks, and sorry if I missed it in other posts, I tried looking.

Cheers,
BF

I don't think anything changes in the way graphics are defined, so I am sure someone will tweak existing graphics packs to be compatible on day 1.

I quite like Mayday's graphics pack and by my experience with him he usually takes a week or two, maybe three, to come out with a new and updated pack for a new "big version" of DF.

It also takes just an hour to fix it to work with the new version for anyone.

I hope the mayday green tileset doesn't take like two weeks to update.

Yeah, Greenburg shouldn't take long to release.
