Personally, I preferred the 1D version.

I wish there was a pen-and-paper version of DF!
Riddle of Steel should get the feel of combat pretty close.

Toady makes big releases punctuated by smaller bugfix releases. The bugs in this next release are going to be horrendous. I feel it in my gullet. After that, I suspect Toady is going to work on a host of major features that will keep the next release out of our hands for another year, I expecticate.

I predict that they will also be some of the most amusing bugs we've gotten in a while.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

I suppose this is one of the few communities out there that like their bugs almost as much as their correct gameplay.

I dunno, I get the feeling that after DF2010 and DF2012 I think Toady's going to start being more careful about how much he tries to fit in one major release.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

The last release was back in March of last year, and the releases before that we're all 1 to 3 releases a month. I know it's still being worked on of course, but I'm curious why there haven't been releases in the last several months.

You just haven't been playing for enough years.

No he won't.  He promised us he'd do exactly that when 31 came out and a year and a half after 40d.  He'll try, but he'll fail.

Prob'ly the most amusing since DF2010's first release.

To be fair, most bugs aren't dwarf fortress bugs.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

In the grim future of Dwarf Fortress in the 41st millennia, there are only Duke Nukem Forever-release schedules.

In the grim past of 1050, there is only socks.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

I'd actually quite like to see a "hoarding mood" feature in the game.  Urist McObsessive goes around and 'claims'[1] some item of obsession.  Be it socks, roasts, a particular kind of stone block, masterwork axes, certain kinds of offal/bodypart...  During his off-time (or even actually neglecting his usual work duties to fulfill his craving) he collects a suitable item and stores it away in his room (if he has one) and further in a suitable container (if he has one).  As items accumulate, so do good thoughts.  But the obsession requires a degree of maintenance, and the items may not be his to keep (and, what's more, some items may rot, or otherwise be damaged), so whenever they're taken away (or otherwise lost) there are bad thoughts.  As there might be bad thoughts by everyone who suddenly finds themselves sockless, or unable to enjoy their favourite meal or method of gobbo killing.

Although it should be more specific like silk socks, tallow roasts or steel(!!!) axes, nine times out of ten, so that the fortress gets a decent chance not to need to engage in a viscious war of possessions with its resident nutcase every time. :)


Anyway, idle thought there.  Doubtless it's already a DF Suggestions thing, from times past!

[1] Not the same as 'owning', but might have greater or lesser effect than standard ownership, and work in parallel so that there could be something technically owned by one dwarf but being hoarded (or sought for hoarding) by another...

I know it's a bit late, but aren't duke nukem forever release date jokes about six months too late?
