In all seriousness, I wrote a rather lengthy article about the game. It’s true that the article is in Russian, but you can always use Google Translator and read it, for example, in English:
here. And here is a link to the russian-language original:
this.
So, I wouldn’t have bragged if I had done what I had originally planned, but in the end I did a lot of work and reviewed the game itself, its new version, and popular mods for it, followed by a short story about how the game went from ASCII graphics to official tile graphics after about 20 years. Plus near the end there’s a story about Meph Tileset, both his contributions and how he left the development team. I don’t know the details and judged only by what was written on the forum and other sites.
I don’t force you to read it, but maybe you will be interested. The article is on a popular russian gaming site, I’m not asking for anything from you, and I’m not cheating views, just sharing the link. You can vote in the poll above, whether you’re going to read it or you’re not interested.
If I didn’t write something important or interesting, made a mistake or inaccuracy, ripped off someone, etc, write about it here. I’m not a hardcore fan of DF to know much, so I might have missed something. Thanks for your feedback!
