Title: This game needs a tag line
Post by: valcon on March 12, 2010, 12:08:46 am
Yeah, "losing is fun" is the MOTTO, but, when telling someone about DF ... you need something that snaps.  Has a pop to it.  A nice ring and gets the point across.

I submit the following

"The most awesome mod for notepad EVER!"

or

"If Tolkien threw up alphabet soup."

maybe

"What you would get if a ninja, a dinosaur, a pirate, a shark with lasers and Chuck Norris sat down and made a video game out of refrigerator magnets."

The last one isn't exactly snappy or concise, but, I think it gets the point across!  Thoughts?

"Magma, losing, horrible hidden fun stuff, gruesome schools of carp, dwarves, stuff-you-can't-read (ASCII) all rolled up in one game that doesn't take one friggin' GB!"

This.

Dwarf Fortress - Redefining "Fun" since 2006!
Dwarf Fortress - You will never look at fish the same way again.

Post by: Ghavrel on March 12, 2010, 01:51:53 am
How about "History of X and Y," where X and Y are both nouns that are randomly chosen from a list. So you could have "Histories of Avarice and Industry," or "Histories of Gluttony and Perseverance," or "Histories of Avarice and Perseverance."

(On a side note: started up the game three times, and those were the things I got. Is the list small, or is the combination of the first two titles to create the third the result of Armok Herself--u c wat i did thar?--guiding them to give us a TRUE tagline?)

Speaking of which...


BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD has always had a certain ring to it.

I'll give it a spin.

Dwarf Fortress: Where quitting is never really a fit option, on the other hand, drowning in magma... *pulls lever*

Dwarf Fortress: Why is everything covered in X (Blood, vomit, blood & vomit ect)

Dwarf Fortress: Where soon, modding the text files gives you the power to blow up the universe.

Dwarf Fortress: Where you meet the limit of your imagination, moral compass, sanity and CPU processor.

Dwarf Fortress: You pick when you win and you learn, Losing is fun.

Or we could just pick the full quote for the game...

Losing is fun!

Either way, it keeps you busy.  (http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Losing)

Dwarf Fort; The game so in depth, it has a soul. It's almost certainly going to hell, but dammit, it's got a soul!

Dwarf Fort:If it seems like your dwarf is unloved, just wait till he dies and sets off a chain of friends and family committing acts of wanton destruction.

Dwarf Fort: It's not a game, it's a way of life.

Dwarf Fort: Just because YOUR game has better graphics, doesn't fix the fact that it sucks.

Dwarf Fort: No one can save you now.

Dwarf Fort: When you think you are finally safe, you will soon find out just how wrong you were.

Dwarf Fort: Nobody gets out alive.

Dwarf Fort: Their bodies will lie in the fortress forever. (speaking of which, someone should totally build a Hogwartz fortress, complete with "secret" passageways and forbidden forest)

I don't get the Clausewitz one. I'm thinking of the Vom Krieg guy. Is there another Clausewitz, or what'm I missing?

No, its him. Relating to his ideas of war which basically guided the world wars into the blood bath of attrition that it became. Specifically the quote that "blood is the price for victory" Although perhaps I should have used Ludendorff since his brute totalitarian ideas of war basically boiled down to "Fuck strategy, just charge the bastards"

replace * with any of the following:
Elf
Cat
Kitten
Puppy
Dwarf
Carp
Elephant
Hippo
Goblin
Human
Magma (because I can.)

Magma est potestas! (Magma is power!)

German:
Meine heise liebe, meine tasse magma! "My hot love, my magma" or something like that. a slight conversion from a messed up song about coffee.

I'm actually kind of partial to "The most awesome mod for notepad EVER!"

But since early 2009, I have always used this when I talk about Dwarf Fortress:

Quote from: Lord Licorice on January 29, 2009, 05:21:09 am
"If you can't build a tower upon a sheer cliff face over which you may throw precisely one hundred and fifty-two kittens and seven stalwart dwarves to their explosive doom some fifty stories below, then brother, your game ain't much of a sandbox, is it?"

Title: Re: This game needs a tag line
Post by: atomfullerene on March 20, 2010, 12:17:25 pm
Dwarf Fortress: Blood and Iron!

Also, doesn't someone have a sig that says something like "if your sandbox doesn't let you do..."  followed by something dwarfey like casting an obsidian tower and throwing goblins off the top "then it's not much of a sandbox, is it".

I liked that one

Edit:  How the crap did I get ninja'd on that?  That's the quote, answering my question before I got done asking it

Dwarf Fortress: Elf; it's what's for dinner.

and now, time for sing along dwarf songs!

"Oh give me a home, where the dwarf children roam, and the elves and the goblins get flayed! Where seldom is heard a single sober word, and the prisoners are tortured all day!

Home, home in the fort...."

"This land is my land, this land ain't your land, from the fortress battlements, to the magma cannon!"


The ballad of Urist McAxedwarf;
"Oh, say can you see by the magma's dim light
What so proudly we hailed as Urist McAxedwarf ran screaming?
Whose broad shoulders and bright axe thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly heaving?
And the magma's red glare, the goblins exploding in gore,
Gave proof through the night that McAxedwarf was still there.
Oh, say does that crazy dwarf's axe yet wave
O'er that pile of bones and the goblin leader's grave?"

Dwarf Fortress: Where Murder is rare, but suicide is common.

Dwarves can commit suicide very easily actually. Fishing near carp, issuing mandates, mining, failing a mandate, being anywhere on the map, standing near the brewery when someone is on fire, being part of a megaproject, being in the depot with elves, etc, etc

I'm blatantly copy/pasting something that someone else said many many months ago, but it was so beautiful that it is forever etched into my mind. I'm too lazy to search for who wrote it, but... props to them!

"Dwarf Fortress: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get hammered. Anything can happen, except a happy ending."

I modified this a bit for my steam profile link to bay12.

Play Dwarf Fortress, where anything can happen, except a happy ending! Strike the earth, and lead your industrious dwarfs to glory and prosperity -- but be on guard for sieges by the infinitely wicked goblins, and watch out for the equally nefarious demands of your own nobility! Mine for precious metals and gems, but don't dig too deep; while the depths hold the most bountiful rewards, they're also home to the most perilous dangers...

also:

Dwarf Fortress: Oh carp
Dwarf Fortress: Fire? What fire?
Dwarf Fortress: I'll drink to that!

"Oh give me a home, where the dwarf children roam, and the elves and the goblins get flayed! Where seldom is heard a single sober word, and the prisoners are tortured all day!

Home, home in the fort...."

"This land is my land, this land ain't your land, from the fortress battlements, to the magma cannon!"


The ballad of Urist McAxedwarf;
"Oh, say can you see by the magma's dim light
What so proudly we hailed as Urist McAxedwarf ran screaming?
Whose broad shoulders and bright axe thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly heaving?
And the magma's red glare, the goblins exploding in gore,
Gave proof through the night that McAxedwarf was still there.
Oh, say does that crazy dwarf's axe yet wave
O'er that pile of bones and the goblin leader's grave?"

Those are some of those words I hate.  "Dying" just looks so wrong, even though it's correct.  Darn you language for not bending to my aesthetic sensibilities!

As far as taglines, here's a few that represent where I have the most Fun:

Dwarf Fortress: Fight the dragon? [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] I am the dragon!

Dwarf Fortress: Or Goblin Fortress. Or Kobold Camp. Or Human City. Or Lizardman Cavern. Or Antman Hive. Or...

Dwarf Fortress: Mod new plant, embark with purring maggots.

And for good measure:

Dwarf Fortress: ...ere the leopards get hungry.

Dwarf Fortress: We don't smelt ore, we smelt goblins. And elves, even though that doesn't yield anything usefull.

Mordor was actually a dungeon crawler with randomly generated dungeons, so this would be a scary amount of recursion. Unique feature: to resurrect a fallen adventurer, you'd make a new one and go recover the corpse, then drag it back to the surface, where a necromantic temple offered services for a fee.

I haven't actually tried in .31 yet, but I assume it works pretty much the same as before - if you add the [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag to the [CREATURE:DRAGON] entry in the raws (creature_standard), you can "Play Now!" as a dragon in Adventure mode.  Tip - add [CANOPENDOORS] before you do that, or you'll be trapped if you start inside a closed building.  (Assuming [CANOPENDOORS] is still a valid tag.  Haven't yet investigated.)

Any "tag line" that Dwarf Fortress has seems like it should encompass the game as a whole, not simply a single part of it, like many of these suggestions do (tag lines about capturing mermaids, killer elephants, etc.) And i think that a good tag line should be immediately understandable by someone who has not played or even heard of the game.

I like "Blood for the blood god!" because it suggests the game has a lot of fighting/killing in it, which it does.

I also like "Go to Hell, make it yours," because it implies the ability to conquer stuff, which is definitely a big part of the game... especially once the army arc is added. However, it implies that "going" to hell is the GOAL of the game, when you in fact make your own goals.

Perhaps a tag line about megaprojects like inverted pyramids... "The Egyptians build pyramids... the dwarves can build them upside-down." Something like that, which demonstrates the value and fun of setting your own goals.

The classic "Strike the earth!" is also great. It's poetic. It tells you that the game is about mining, but the word "strike" also implies violence. And the game has plenty of that.

Perhaps a good tag line which mentions how addicting the game is?

Here's my contribution: "The dwarves dug too greedily and too deep." The line is stolen from Tolkien, whose fantasy elements have been a big inspiration in the game - a fantasy simulator. The word "greedily" shows that there are great riches to be had, and the words "too deep" have a forbidding and poetic ring to them... It's the classic dilemma of increasing risks vs. increasing rewards - a strong motif in the world of Dwarf Fortress.

But I still think that the ultimate and best slogan/tag line/hook/motto is still the one that has been given down to us from the great Toad... "Losing is fun." It explains so much about the game in just three words... that it's impossible to win, that you set your own goals instead, that not achieving these goals is STILL a source of fun, and most importantly that the whole game is simply ABOUT having fun, not winning - two things which many other games produced nowadays have got smushed together. It's not about the goal, it's about the journey. That's more than just a motto, it's a philosophy.

tl;dr: Losing is fun.

Goblins: a rich source of iron.

Dwarf Fortress: You have a team of hundreds working for four years to make a game where you save the world again. We have one guy for four years build a world, populate it, write the physics, and have you beat the shit out of it. Your guys suck.

Actually, considering that DF's world is generated procedurally, it's really not that bad. A hell of a coding job, but The Toady One has removed the need to create art assets, dialog, storylines, and any of that stuff. He doesn't really build a world and populate it, he wrote a very nice set of rules that tell your computer how to put together a near-infinite number of worlds, and populate them with a near-infinite number of distinct individuals. In a normal game, where all this has to be done by hand, that's at least half of the work burden right there. I'm not in any way undermining Tarn's (if I may call him Tarn) accomplishments, but compared to a AAA game, this isn't quite as much work. It's still a lot, but it's not as much as goes into, say, Uncharted. A very pretty game, with lots of very nice gameplay, and beautiful scenery and setpieces (And did I mention it's beautiful?), but a short game (6-15 hours, depending on skill and difficulty levels). Compare that with DF, where you have near-infinite hours of gameplay just because of the masses of different combinations that go into a single fort/adventurer.

Interestingly though, and likely because of the lack of graphics/art assets/designers to tie up funds and time, Toady has put all that effort into creating good, deep gameplay.  I can't speak for everyone, but a game with this level of depths and a lot more polish (Chiefly bugfixes and a more intuitive interface) would be cheaper to produce, and could easily sell for the prices that most AAA companies are offering now, possibly more.

This really isn't me suggesting a tagline, though so:

well, I guess the freedom to do what you want is there, but there's not really the whole "alignment" system, and while there are quests, it's more of a "go here, kill this guy" sort of thing, so I'd say it's closer to a medieval version of GTA, but that's just me.

Just replace your divide with a multiply and it should be all good.

Quote
((Fable+(Sims+SimCity-ElectronicArts)*DungeonKeeper)^Rogue)*0.31

Wait hold on a sec.  10/.1=100, 10/0.3=33.33,  10*0.1=1, 10*0.3=3.
Okay so the math works out that the closer we get to 1.0, the better it is.
I.e. we get closer to the result of:

((Fable+(Sims+SimCity-ElectronicArts)*DungeonKeeper)^Rogue)

I meant to say that ((Fable+(Sims+SimCity-ElectronicArts)*DungeonKeeper)^Rogue) is what we have NOW. It'll be at least three times better than that by the time it reaches 1.0... which doesn't actually do it justice. :P

Naturally, DF now varies exponentially to version, so how much the version improves DF depends on its base: the acceptable values for parameters fable, dungeonkeeper, etc. If their domains are [0,10] then v = 1.0 gives a  6-fold increase. Heh.

Actually, I've now come to alter the keybindings in such a way that there's always one key combo to exit any menu, Shift+Space, which is also set as the secondary binding for pause/unpause. Escape works as "exit all menus". That way, text entry never suffers, and Shift+Space is easy enough to press. Surely better than reaching for the Escape key every time.
Title: Re: This game needs a tag line
Post by: xtank5 on June 28, 2010, 10:13:33 am
My hands are by the arrow keys all of the time anyways so I just re-binded the Delete key near the numpad to exit out of a screen.  Still works and doesn't ruin my flow as much as Esc.  I still try to pause and unpause the game with it though.  :P I've still got that binded to space.
Title: Re: This game needs a tag line
Post by: Sean Mirrsen on June 28, 2010, 10:25:36 am
Now that you mention it, I can probably try the "\" key to exit. On my laptop, it's large and right above the enter key, so easily accessible and, unless I misremember something, not used anywhere at all in DF.

Hello everybody, my first post here. Here are a few of my pitiful attempts, hopefully no repetitions at least:

Dwarf Fortress: Start, Build, Lose, Reclaim!

Dwarf Fortress: If Stalin had it, the world would have been safe.

Dwarf Fortress: A fantasy game about building logic gates.

Dwarf Fortress: I Have No Booze, And I Must Drink

Dwarf Fortress: Everybody dead. I like that.

Everything I know about reality, I learned from Dwarf Fortress.

Dwarf Fortress: Never gonna give you up!

Dwarf Fortress : Where Dwarves live and die.

 ??? Yeah, - it's not a 'cool' tag line, but I know no other game that keeps track of 200 inviduals (+ pets, and the general history of the world) like DF, so I really feel my little guys having a 'life'. - And yes, they do sooner or even sooner surely die in spetacular ways.  :)

I could totally imagine a scenario where someone makes a fort and produces no metal armor, then makes all of the military dwarves female and married.

Infinite source of armor amirite? ... just mod babies to take 10 years before they become children... should stay with the mother longer... maybe give the baby caste metal skin to increase chances of blocking damage and... oh god am I really contemplating this!?!?

edit: damn, babies don't have castes... there must be a way around this...

There needs to be a way to make a creature go through several castes as it ages and give it a chance to become a different caste than the norm. For example, a hive style of living creature, let's say some imaginary creature, the badgerant or some other bull, it starts as a larvae creature and when it finishes whatever cycle comes first it becomes a worker. As this worker ages, it may change gender and become a drone. When this drone ages, it may become a warrior or there is a small chance for it to become a queen, changing gender again.

This creature is obviously fictional as far as I know and real creatures wouldn't function at all in this way, but I think it is a good idea.

Yeah, "losing is fun" is the MOTTO, but, when telling someone about DF ... you need something that snaps.  Has a pop to it.  A nice ring and gets the point across.

I submit the following
"The most awesome mod for notepad EVER!"
or
"If Tolkien threw up alphabet soup."
maybe
"What you would get if a ninja, a dinosaur, a pirate, a shark with lasers and Chuck Norris sat down and made a video game out of refrigerator magnets."
The last one isn't exactly snappy or concise, but, I think it gets the point across!  Thoughts?

Hahaha; first one is the best shortest description that would match anyone's thoughts initially. Last one gets the point across pretty well, like several of the other crazy descriptions.

I guess it could also be summed up as a small idea that realized somewhat. After the small initial realization it reached a certain critical mass which then started going batsh*t out of hand. The idea's realization has been expanding with greater and greater awesomeness ever since.

Dwarf Fortress: Where slaughtering puppies and kitties en masse isn't only allowed in the game mechanics, it can be needed to keep the game running.
Dwarf Fortress: Pleasing eye-rape after staring at a bunch of bright ASCII characters on a black background for hours. (only reason I use tilesets, really)
Dwarf Fortress: Where we don't just slay our enemies, we chop off all their limbs, destroy their internal organs, cut their heads off, and take it for a trophy (or to throw at their horrified mates)- if we aren't feeling creative.
Dwarf Fortress: Where dwarves get tickets for traveling while under the influence of sobriety.
Dwarf Fortress: If this thing was rendered in realistic 3D graphics, the game would be banned in a heartbeat and the creator would probably be incarcerated/institutionalized/executed just as quickly. (the media shit themselves about stuff in a Call of Duty game? They'd all have collective heart attacks halfway through a fully-realized DF battle [somewhere between someone getting their guts spilled and a momma dorf using Dwarven Baby Armor])
Dwarf Fortress: A game that can-within the same hour-have you feeling depressed because your dwarves died horrible deaths of starvation and madness, and later entertained by finding ways to run your society into the ground in the grandest and preferably most !!SCIENCE!! related ways possible.
Dwarf Fortress: I would have a better social life if I had a better table to host parties at.

Dwarf Fortress:  The game only looks and plays like you're editing a spreadsheet so you can do it at work with no consequences.
Dwarf Fortress: 70% wiki, 20% forum, 10% losing.
Dwarf Fortress: For people who like learning how to play more than playing.
Dwarf Fortress: The only text-based game to bring your computer to a crawl.
Dwarf Fortress: Rube Goldberg's Nightmare.
Dwarf Fortress: The smiley faces are a trap.
Dwarf Fortress: Mao: The Videogame.
Dwarf Fortress: The first rule of Dwarf Fortress is you do not have a tutorial mode of Dwarf Fortress.

Dwarf Fortress: Where elves eat dwarves because dwarves eat plants.
Dwarf Fortress: Don't drop the soap, it won't dissolve in magma.
Dwarf Fortress: HD? If it had that, you'd need NASA to run it.

Quick Edit for my Sig stuff:

Dwarf Fortress: Give me another game where you can chop the enemy into three pieces, pick up one of them, and turn the rest of the pieces into minced meat.

For bay12, but also DF:

Quote from: MetalSlimeHunt on June 17, 2012, 12:42:56 am
It is the 2nd Millennium. For more than a decade The Toad has sat immobile on the Golden Office Chair of Washington State. He is the Master of Bay 12 by the will of the internet, and master of a million bytes by the might of his inexhaustible coding. He is a restless mathematician writhing invisibly with power from the Modern Age of Technology. He is the Amphibian Lord of the Twelfth Bay for whom a thousand suggestions are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly sleep.

Yet even in his sleepless state, the Toad continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty threads cross the bot-infested remnants of Various Nonsense, the only route between the distant boards, their way lit by the Forum Guidelines, the digital manifestation of the Toad's will. Vast usergroups give discussion in his name on uncounted sites. Greatest amongst his users are the Lower Forumites, the Bay Watchers, socially abnormal angry debators. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Upper Forumites and countless Escaped Lunatics, the ever vigilant ThreeToe and the mafia aficionados of the Forum Gamers to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to completely ignore the nonexistant threat from trolls, heretics, spammers - and worse.

To be a Bay Watcher in such times is to be one amongst untold hundreds. It is to post in the cruelest and most hilarious network imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of scripted events and 3D graphics, for so much has been discarded, never to be retried. Forget the promise of cell shading and multiplayer, for in the moderate dimness of the here and now there is only Dwarf Fortress. There is no peace amongst the Bay, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting Watchers."

Dwarf Fortress: Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more..

Yeah but well ... consider that doing so usually ends badly for the dwarves.  Perhaps this would be better:

Dwarf Fortress:  Strike the Earth ... The Earth Strikes Back: With MAGMA!

Take away the ":WITH MAGMA!" and you've pretty much explained not only the game, but the reason for the existence of demons and megabeasts: to clean the stain we call 'dwarfs' off of the world before it's too late.

Isn't that just what happens if a dwarf stands on a spot marked as a dump site?

DF calculates falling damage like this:

Urist McMason falls from a tall tower. He hits to ground. Ground's density is calculated, and then the ground strikes the dwarf with power of density+falling height. And then the dwarf dies. Because he got hit by the ground. You can scientifically prove this by building some light material floor and heavy material floor and drop dudes onto them. Ones with heavy material will get hit much harder gy the ground.

So, in DF, quite literally, the earth strikes back.
Title: Re: This game needs a tag line
Post by: Dwarf4Explosives on March 25, 2014, 02:04:58 am
I can't understand how the heavier material=more dangerous stuff makes any sense, although that's just as true for a lot of DF stuff. Harder, stronger material=more dangerous would make more sense. A matress may be heavier than a sheet of iron, but which would you prefer to fall on?

At any rate, "Every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction" means that the earth strikes back in real life too.
