Y'know, I didn't even read the rest of the thread...  But I hope that if anyone did approach Toady to either buy the game from him or to mass-produce it that he'd decline.

The reason the game is the way that it IS is because that it hasn't been rushed by money-grubbing corporate shit-machines that only cater to the gamer who has lots of money and wants a game to play quickly and easily.  This game requires a challenge to learn; most people won't like that.

Well, actually there's no racism in this thread. There was just a mis-understanding. And as long as we have some increased aggression usually it's caused by someone in a "too-much-booze" condition.

[Kagus]

That, and sometimes we just get a bit carried away.  We really can be egged on rather easily.

I WILL BE THE MODERATOR FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM AND CRUSH ALL REBELLION WITH AN IRON FIST.

Oh yeah?  Well, I've got a ‼≡«☼Steel Fist☼»≡‼!

I can't believe there are three pages here and no one has realized that the OP is a troll...

I mean, come on!  You really think someone who likes EA that much would like Dwarf Fortress as much as he claims to?  Then there's the simple fact that he hasn't posted again even once.

YOU ALL LOSE THE THREAD!!!  I WIN!!!

As the forum community grows, I am starting to agree that some moderation is sadly needed outside Toady/Threetoe.

[subject name here]

With a warning that if they decide to become power hungry Nazi's that their moderating privileges will be revoked shortly followed by death.

[Capntastic]

Just like nobles!

Posting in a flaming thread of hot flaming lava fire stuff. Nothing to contribute.

(Oh, and Mount & Blade is excellent. You can download it and play it as a demo before comitting to a purchase. Europa Universalis is another stunning game, well worth it if you like grand strategy at all.)

(Oh-2, Welcome to Dwarf Fortress, Rattyboy.)

Is everything okay in here?  People shouldn't yell at each other and stuff.  It is probably best if the first reply to a new poster isn't "FUCK that."  I'd like new people to feel like they can hang around, even if there are disagreements on some point or another.  Also, I think it's clear that DF's lack of graphics and other ease-of-use features are detrimental to its overall appeal with a lot of people, but that doesn't make anybody better than anybody else.

I've had an offer to sell DF for $20 on an online site here or there, and a company I hadn't heard of offered to do a front-end, but I haven't been approached by any of the large corporations.  I'm pretty much opposed to anything along those lines, since I'd prefer to keep control of the project, and I assume a publishing contract will generally entail loss of control.  They are the ones assuming the risk on their investment after all.

Try Gas Powered Games. I don't know much, but as far as I do, Chris Taylor the creative director is very reasonable in these terms. The latest game they announced, Demigod, is actually lead by a pair of "lesser" designers in the team, with only mild supervision from Taylor.

Also, the Siege engine is perfect for DF.
