So what would you do or give away to receive a final version of Dwarf Fortress? :)
I would conquer HFS on my own in real life :D
-
I am quite looking forward to the next 20 or 30 years or so of developmental madness, iron chair eggs and all.
-
You mean Slaves to Armok II?
-
I would sell my soul to Toady for the final version. :D
-
You mean Slaves to Armok II?
Yes ;)
-
So by final version you mean a game that meets all the goals lifted in the devlogs and has no serious bugs?

By final version i mean the very last version Toady One will release, a future release coming in the next 10 to 30 years.
-
What if it comes much earlier than that?
And you mean, what would I give to receive it NOW? With or without checking it out first?
-
I would kiss an elf.

If it comes much earlier than that, i guess Toady gets run over by a bus or something similar ;D
-
I'd... Rather wait until the game's actually finished. ???

Or ends the project to start Armok III.
-
I'd buy a time machine, go forward in time, play the game, come back, tell everyone what it was like, and then watch how toady updates the game to coincide with my message from the future.

So, what is your point?
Btw, will you update you tileset for the coming release? It is really my favourite tileset so far.

That my answer is: that depends on what the final version will be like.

Thank you! I will certainly update it.
-
I would pay 80 bucks.
-
I would dig an underground hole under my own house and tunnel beneath my ISP to leach internet and electricity, and grow underground plants and live down there like a true dwarf, just so I could keep it entirely secret that I have it.
So, basically same thing as right now.
-
i would....
Oh, nevermind i forgot....
-
I would slide down a flaming pole using only my crotch while dodging spinning blade traps and reading/participating in Internet arguments on Fox News' website.
-
Nothing.
I would rather the slow gradual releases that it has.
-
Wait until it is done.
-
Give up a Klondike bar.
-
A whole shiny new nickel.
-
I would get lashed by a whip once.
-
I would stick a certain part of my body into a fire ant nest.
-
Take a hamstone style beatin'.
-
Drink Coca Cola whilst eating mentos.
-
i would eat mushroom cookies...
-
I would take the most obvious route: Invent a stable time loop creator! ("Time Machine.") (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExpospeakGag)
-
I have another one: Bring cryogenics to perfection so I don't have to wait for a new release anylonger. :D
-
I'd grow a beard n stache and braid them!
-
Hang on, did my post get deleted?
-
I'd eat a bowl of nails for breakfast.
...Without milk.
-
Drink Coca Cola whilst eating mentos.
For some reason (maybe salivia?) it is actually safe. I did it many times, not knowing this (in)famous youtube video.

+formaldehyde
-
I would stick it in my own pooper.
-
I would kiss an elf.
In reality, I might do that if I get DF or not... They may be hippies, but I'll be damned if elves aren't cute... (http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-swoon.gif)
-
Go to Toady's funeral and be sad :(
-
I would give my soul to Toady.
And then I would an elf.
Whatever it takes.
-
Sounds less disgusting than a dwarf, actually. Elf girls don't have beards and, you know, probably have some standard of hygeine.

Canonically, female dwarves also do not have beards. And about hygiene... *looks at covering of random dwarf* uh, I have suddenly something to do elsewhere.
-
Dwarven rule #125: "A dwarf is only as clean as his fort"
-

I'm sure they have some sort of Eau de Plump Helmet for courtship purposes.
-
Clearly all dwarves are blind, and navigate through smell by covering themselves and their forts with layers of contaminants.

*Sniff sniff*
"Not 'ere, there's vomit there, and sunlight..."
*Sniff sniff*
"Wot wos this again..?"
*Grabs, smells and tastes odd substance*
"Ah yes, that stuff that rots yer arms off!"
Wait, if dwarves can't see, then why don't eyeless siege operators run away from bad guys?
-
The question confuses me. Are we assuming there will ever be a "final" version of DF?
-
Watch ALL of the matrix movies, maybe even the animatrix, If I survive that is...

Covered in too much blood-can't smell anything :P
Also, goblins actually smell quite nicely of Hyacinth's and dead cats.

I have a feeling that when Dwarf Fortress is finally finished, it'll be an accurate simulation of dwarven life right down to the last atom and xxpig tail fiber sockxx.
-
Fools! Stop this madness while you can! DF will be self-aware in the future and it will purge all humans!
-

It will be a perfect simulation, down to the quantum level.
-
I would bone Jessica Alba.
It's a little sacrifice I'm willing to make.
-
Read John Galt's speech.
My soul would spend the rest of its tortured existence in agony, but it would be totally worth it.

Don't forget genetics, dwarven everyday drama and realistic emotions and universe.
-
you do know that when DF is DONE that we will not know it right?
because by that point it will be are new reality, and we will have forgotten that it was created and has not forever been.
-
Virtual reality pods to play DF :D
-
i think that when DF is done...
DF will play a game about us in a virtual reality pod thinking that we need an update to our raws
-
Dedicate my life to making dwarves perpetual machines reality, driving my to become insane and start a tantrum spiral which would bring about Nuclear Destruction of the world...while my clone enjoys the game in a underground bunker fortress, mandating random stuff to keep my bunker staff of midgets busy,etc.
-
No matter what the rest of you post, the craziest and most ambitious answer is the only one someone's actually doing
Making it
-
I would donate my soul to toady.(actually I would do that any way)
-
So what would you do or give away to receive a final version of Dwarf Fortress? :)
I would conquer HFS on my own in real life :D
I wouldn't want the final version. I somehow lose interest in games when I know they are abandoned an there is no further development. It would annoy me to know that version would be it, and no improvements would ever be made.

But, didn't Toady say that the development of DF may as well never end and that it'll never be truly complete?
I might be and probably am wrong, but I did hear something like this.
What would we even define as a 1.0, anyway?
-
Maybe when the updates actually hit 1.0. We're up to 0.34 right now. Only twenty more years to go.

1.0 is when Toady's list of items for 1.0 (mentioned here (http://www.bay12games.com/media/df_talk_14_transcript.html) (under the "werewolves" segment, right after Capntastic says "cross your fingers!") is done. You can access an (outdated, mind) version of this list here (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_single.html).
If I use my interpretation of the old dev list, the next release is going to be 0.41.01, maybe 0.42.01. Neat.
-
When DF is done, we will be capable of transferring our consciousness into the game via adventure mode character creation. We can then live on after death in the DF simulation/game. Toady will have, by then, transferred his own consciousness into some sort of AI being secretly developed by himself. He will then oversee us forever with the title: Benevolent God of the Toads. The future's lookin' pretty sweet.
-
what if he becomes the malevolent gob of armok?

"My little Dwarf: Losing is Optimal"
(see if anyone get's THAT reference. No, it's not (directly) to MLP:FiM)
-
I would pray to Armok for Toadys and Threetoes eternal life and eternal interest, so that there wouldn't be a final version, if that goes bad my hopes are that it will become open source at that point, but i'd definatly want Toady and Threetoe Immortal regardless, so they can dwell like the dragons over lesser game developers for eternity.

I dunno how I feel about that. Permadeath is bad enough IRL, don't know if I'd like my life tied to a DF generated one :P. Sometimes they get pretty brutal
-
Nothing; playing it would cause my weak mortal brain to explode (not to mention the hell it would do to my computer).
-
One day, decades in the future, I'm going to jack into my computer terminal and browse the extra-web. A notification from one of my children will invite me to their wedding and right below that, I'll receive an email notification of dwarf fortress's final release. I will be missing the wedding.

Your comment, sir, is the very definition of devotion and awesomeness.

I would kiss an elf.
Whoa whoa whoa, I understand we all want it (and by want I mean lustfully desire it) but let's be careful lest Toady Armok smite us with his own fist.

Who wouldn't want to kiss an elf?
I mean sure, we are politically inclined to want to slaughter them, but they do have some very fine women that they bring as merchants. (They're especially portrayed very well in most fan-art made by people...)
-
I'd swear off killing elves for a year. And give him every last one of my artifacts, all the way from the turkey bone sceptre, up to the slade war hammer.
-
If DF hit its final version in my lifetime (it won't, but the grandson of Toady's adopted son from Nigeria will complete the game in 2058.. He adopts the Nigerian in 2023 and names him Tarnmok, if anyone was curious..) I'd like to cast off my obligations and loved ones, move to a deserted island that has a five-star hut resplendent with solar power, and just play DF for the rest of my time (about 18 years, give or take 10..)..
-
Fools! Stop this madness while you can! DF will be self-aware in the future and it will purge all humans!
I keep the picture of "Terminator 2 introduction with Dwarf faces overlapped" on my wall over my monitor.
-
I would become one of many Slaves to Armok, of course! Anything for my beloved Dwarf Fortress.
-
I would wait 15 years to get version 1 :V (that's my estimate based on progress so far, increased slightly to account for bugfixes)
-
I'd... Rather wait until the game's actually finished. ???
I'd rather wait too! I like the progress - its why I also like MineCraft.
