It's right there in the original design notes. So not a completely outrageous idea.

HUMAN TOWN: You should be able to control a human town, as you control a dwarf fortress, but with changes appropriate to the new setting. Related to Req469 and Bloat146.

Remember the raws are free. Only the graphics themselves (and the music) is "premium".

All txt files in the "vanilla_*" folders and their subfolders, and all files in the "interaction examples" and "examples and notes" folders, are released into the public domain:  to the extent permitted by law, we waive all copyright to them.  We will not pursue a copyright claim even if this waiver is not applicable in a given area.

But, yes, huge job, which is why there aren't any complete sets out there yet. That and the new interface has trouble with quite a few of the different tileset sizes right now, which I don't think is fixed yet, is it?

"What do you think of me?"
"You are pleasure to talk with, but you are dangerous beast and this has come between us" *draws knife*
(Seen when playing a character with Semi-Megabeast tag.)

That and people complaining that their neighbours have no religion and something must be done about it.

How much procedural construction of paragraphs does Cataclysm DDA actually do? Is there anything akin to the musical form constructions? Or even the artifacts? Let alone Mythgen...

Given that UI is your current focus: are you aware of certain procgen code shenanigans (gremlin-style lever pulling, I guess) causing disruption in adv character gen, such as this (Discord: https://discord.com/channels/329272032778780672/1049402643342168114/1119264182093758541); also a long-standing calendar ☼engraving☼ that needs attention?

Pretty sure these bugs are on the bug tracker.
And if they're not, well, can't blame Toady for not knowing about bugs that no-one thought were important enough to report.

But, fairly sure they are.

I already asked something similar here, but I thought maybe it would be better to do so here. It's basically the same thing:

Is there a roadmap being followed?
or
What would be the best way to keep track of the development of Dwarf Fortress?

The version number of the game indicates the percentage of features implemented from a list they have of "features for game to be considered 1.0".

Of course they go off-track at times, but the past few years have been pretty much following the plan. Last time things took a diversion as I recall was in implementing villainous networks, turned out the world wasn't varied enough for networks to work properly so guilds, religious strife, love, jealousy, envy, mercenary groups and various noble positions were added.

Oh, and then someone said "let's add graphics and release on Steam!" recently, that was quite a bit off-map (they were always there, but assumed to be much later on).

1) You...can? What details are you missing?
2) Because they decided micromanagement hell was not the way they wanted the new interface to be so you don't have to any more. They've talked about reintroducing some kind of detailed control for micromanagers. Problem is making sure it's hidden enough for people not to mistake it for the intended system, probably.
3) New system. Doesn't work as well as they thought it would. That's, you know, Dwarf Fortress development for you. Not unique to Steam release. Maybe it'll get improved later.
4) Same as 3
5) Because the keyboard controls haven't been added yet. They didn't take them away, the new interface is a mouse controlled interface. You can't "take something away" if it never existed (unless you mean the entire horrific old UI, in which case, well tough, removing that was the point of the the release).
When they add the keyboard controls, as they said they would, you'll have keyboard controls.

Yeah, the forum's header is still saying latest version is 50.06.

And honestly while I still haven't been able to set aside some dosh online to get the steam version, the fear of adventure mode going the way of giant desert scorpions and curious underground structure is the other thing keeping me from getting it for the time being.

While stuff like better tilesets and mouse support and all that are really neat and probably great for new players, my main reason to move to the steam version would be to continue work on my main mod, which isn't really feasible at the moment since no adventure mode.

Though honestly I've been busy as fuck with other projects like contributing to BN as well as IRL stuff, and I'm basically going to have to recreate Adventurecraft from scratch because the raw folders are structured completely differently, so even if we do get adventure mode back I'm not sure how long it'd take me to get it in working order. @_@

You really think they're going to spend the year working on upgrading Adventurer and then say "you know what, we don't want it after all".
How long have you followed development exactly?
