DF General Discussion / Video about about steel recipes in DF
« on: November 17, 2017, 11:50:18 am »
I stumbled over a video today about DF and about its in-game way of steel production.
I think the guy seems to be making interesting points. But I am not any of a metalsmith or material-scientist or even experienced DF veteran myself, therefore looking for other players' ideas or comments on this subject.

What do you think, should steel production be corrected in DF?

Tilesets and Graphics / Stonesense plant graphics
« on: June 04, 2017, 04:54:56 pm »
I was little bored and started making some Stonesense plant graphics because I found lots of them represented by only one type of sprite.
I drew 20 plants that all belong to "Garden plants" category. Notice that most of these plants in Stonesense are still represented by default sprite because I was too lazy to go more than 20 right-now. At least it gives 'some' in game gardens a little-bit more variety.

P.S. My experience in graphics design is on the MsPaint level, so I hope these sprites don't come totally off the standard.

DF Suggestions / Procedurally generated quotes
« on: May 27, 2017, 11:34:20 am »
I came to this idea thinking about how powerful linguistic procedural generation could actually be. Since part of DF is trying to simulate the history of important people, I was thinking about a little extra that these historical persons could share in this procedurally generated the world. In RL lot of important people hand down some important life lessons as a quotes that are often cited by past generations. I taught it could be fun to implement this also to DF. Maybe through books, engravings, random tavern conversations, etc.

So, I tested this idea by making a quote generator http://exprandomness.blogspot.com.ee/2017/05/metaquote-generator.html
Of course, in DF it would only work well when these quotes are generated under certain conditions that represent the values of original creator of the quote. However, when playing around with this idea and making that generator, I managed find it nothing impossible.
