I hope this post is not in the wrong place, I know its suppose to be a topic about Dwarf fortress, which it is. After playing this game I have become inspired. I have started to learn about programming more and having the urge to learn the C language. (Why i choose C language is because that's what Dwarf fortress was originally written with, right?) Anyways, I've read a bit of Tarn's bio and I like the fact that him and his brother wanted to create their dream game. I have played fantasy games with my brother when I was younger, allowing me to immerse myself a bit. Playing this game allows me to enjoy how complex you can make a game with little graphics.(Also allowing me to enjoy fantasy games) The old style of this game urged me to create a game of my own like this. I'm a sophomore in high school, having the itch to learn how to create games like this, the complexity is amazing. Thanks Tarn and Zach. Your creativity is appreciated, you have inspired me to get into programming and enjoy the old style games. Hopefully I will be able to a create a game so complex like this, and ASCII style looking, (which I actually like.) The fact that you can procedurally generate a whole world and NPC's and how deep in depth this game can go. Makes me think back on the days me and my brother would sit side by side on our dinner table with old laptops and play so many different games.
