Spring.

((Though that's certainly not official.))

HMMMMMM...   I'm removing that from the site, but suffice it to say, that something will probably happen spring 2014.  Damnit, PR and shit.  We're no good at this, we just want to make fake people have lovers' quarrels!

Edit: on second thought, whatever, screw it, yes, you will be able to play it sometime next spring.  WHEN next spring though?  You can pry that from my cold dead brain.

PTW, looks like a slightly more fleshed out (bad wordage) user friendly Dorf Fort, with hilarious random encounters.  When that person dug up the idol it seemed exactly like something my dwarves would do.

"What's this black thing?  Why was it in a cemetery?  Whatever, I should put it on my kitchen table."

Steampunk Human Fortress for the masses.

To be fair, it's a bit unfair to describe any more than superficially detailed simulation game as a DF=like. I mean, this one doesn't even have sprawling underground complexes.

[Karkov]

Well, at one point neither did DF.  Them pesky Z-levels, I tells ya.

Yeah, but even in 2D a major part of the game was digging out your fortress from the mountainside. That's very different from a game like this where the focus is on building things up rather than tunneling.

... Most of my forts are above ground.

... Most of my forts are above ground.

A different style of play for different people.

... Though I shudder at the thought of winged creatures in above-ground forts.

You're supposed to put roofs on your buildings. :I

Winged Creature: "I love these things! They're like lunchboxes!"

Electrified roofs? That would stop them perching anyway.

I love above-ground forts, but building constructions higher than a few z-levels are hell. DF really needs some kind of auto-scaffold implementation for adding constructions in places where your dwarves can't normally reach. Otherwise it's b>C>f, b>C>w, remove construction, b>C>w etc. Too time consuming and then your mason gets stuck inside a wall and akljaskldjaskldfjask your fortress has crumbled to its end.

"Higher than a few z-levels", man.

The first level roof is simple. It's when you have 3+ stories that the final roof is a bitch.
