Lets Play Dwarf Fortress "Questmines!"
« on: July 23, 2010, 04:23:10 pm »
I have begun creating a dwarf fortress Lets Play on You Tube.  The idea, is a unique community fortress where you can see/hear what all I'm doing, while I do it.  See your own dwarfs exploits as they grow and flourish, as you desire.  Of course, I plan on doing game highlights with each batch of updates as well, for those of you without however many hours this community fortress will end up taking.

For those of you not familiar with the concept, here's what's going to go down!  As dwarves flock to my fortress, I shall name them whatever you, the viewers, desire (On a first come, first served basis, with exceptions for the rule of cool/funny/etc.)  I shall then instruct them in the creation of various projects/designs/etc depending on you wishes, and my own whims (as god of this world)

Unlike a normal community fortress, I will not be adding my own story to this overmuch, instead simply "telling it like it is"  Hopefully, this will be as interesting for all of you, as it will be fun for me.

See further posts for the current question of the week, links to the videos, and a list of all dwarves (living and dead) who call questmines their home.

Pretty cool.
But the "Lets play dwarf fortress" name makes you sound like a Boat Murdered copy-cat
(no im not suggesting that it owned the phrase) It just sounds like that.

Edit:
Also it doesn't sperate you from the hundreds of other "Lets play dwarf fortress" Videos on youtube.

Editx2:
Its still pretty cool.

Edit3:
Could i be *both* the miners

Still fun, though!  Possibly Fun, as well.

I doubt we'll have much in the way of Fun, I'm not bad at this.

But then again, I've not breached more than 2 caverns yet in this new version, so...  we'll see how things go.

Hey Oidip! Actually, "Let's play [X]" Has become an increasingly popular title for youtube game walkthroughs lately, and I doubt that it originated from any aspect of DF :P

Also, can a miner be named Haldor? So far every dorf named after me has become Mayor of the fort, so let's see how that goes :P

I'll take the herbalist, and give him/her the clothier skill. She spends all the time making bags, but not filling them with sand. Defiantly not filling them with sand. And, get a square tileset. If nothing else, I think there is an example tileset that come with DF.

New set uploaded (well, one is uploaded, still waiting on the others)

Enjoy everyone!!!

The reason for the long delay was twofold.  One, was that I was moving into a new house.  Silly me.

The second, was the release of Starcraft 2.   Yea, my bad.

But it's okay, I now plan on spending at least an hour every day doing these (Probably a half hour of actual game time)  So we should end up with something beautiful real soon now!
