Goon Tower
« on: December 11, 2007, 08:04:00 am »

I think I see a reference to Dwarf Fortress.
 http://www.goontower.com

I think it's the second segment below the Soviet Russian flag, two above the Zelda one. I see a fisherdwarf, a thief, a noble, and some others.

Yep, looks like it. I see a lot of video game themed layers in there, and some goons love DF, so it's not that surprising. Awesome, though.

Love all the little details. How the noble is directing the hammerer to the craftsdwarf. The mechanic rigging the noble's quarters with magma. The monster in the mountain. It's brilliant!

And it came from the SA forums to begin with, so it was probably allready getting a steady flow of traffic.

Plucked the DF image out of my cache:
   

Looking at the Reddit comments, someone put up a mirror of most of the tower.

Dystopian Rhetoric made that image.

Members at the SomethingAwful forums refer to themselves as "goons." Goon tower, I'm assuming, is some community project of theirs. I hadn't heard about it, but then again I rarely leave the Games forum over there.
