One day, we'll get Dwarf Fortress, but satisfying 3rd person combat.
>satisfying 3rd person combat.So, we wait until someone builds a 3D render that reads DF data, and then allows you to play it like Dragons Dogma?
>>738093616I don't really have much experience with colony sims. Can I just jump in and learn as I go or am I fucked if I do that? I also own Oxygen Not Included but I'm undecided which to play first
>>738095871honestly mate dwarf fortress was fun in like, 2009, but it really doesn't offer anything anymore as a video game
>>738093616Crazy how Rimworld, AI, and Kitfox all worked together to successfully kill this game
>>738096356I'm not gay so I don't know what this means
>>738096290So what's the top game of the genre these days? don't say Rimworld
>>738096527Clanfolk
>>738095501>>738093616Isnt that just Kenshi?Never played it but I always heard it was basically DF Adventure Mode but with 3D gfx. >>738096527Rimworld for base building colony management simONI for less colony management and more Factorio-style liquid and gas HVAC autism. Beyond those, you're starting to delve into niche, shittier titles that specialise in a specific game mechanic in one way or another. DF is still king of world generation and storytelling, but it relies a lot on the user filling in the gaps with headcanon. From a gameplay standpoint its stuck in 2009 and hasnt really changed or improved. Its got basic systems that are bloated with walls of texts generated from world history and most of its difficulty comes from early, buggy versions of the game when no-one had figured out how Colony Management games worked yet. t.I just love all games in the genre desu, DF is my favourite but there's nothing to do in it anymore.
>>738096356Only thing that killed DF was Toady absolutely refusing to add content to it in any reasonable space of time. Remember when we were optimistic that we'd get Magic added by 2019? hahaha yeah I do.
>>738097937Well we're getting it right now I guess?
>>738098002With DF updates always add another 2-5 years more than you think you need to.
>>738098085Nta, but it seems like this time we are actually going to get it in a reasonable timeframe.
>>738098085this is the right answerany time you give someone money before they're done with a project they inevitably fuck around trying to milk itdon't pay for something unless you're happy with the current state or it's finishedtoady is a lazy faggot
>>738096527I know you don't like the answer but rimworld is unfortunately still the top not-df colony sim atm. Invisible Strain is good as a twd simulator, Elin is the most visually appealing and has a bunch of roguelite features. Necesse is like top-down terraria if it had rimworld colony sim mechanics. None are as deep as DF though. I heard Songs of Syx was good
>>738100335Also Going Medieval is the only colony sim we have right now with 3D graphics as far as I'm aware of but the whole european genocide/ethnic replacement being a core part of the game is weird
>>738097887>Never played it but I always heard it was basically DF Adventure Mode but with 3D gfxI guess, if you look from a certain angle minus the DF procedural world gen. But you could also say that it is basicaly M&B with base building. Or Skyrim with sadals and straw hats.
>>738093616I've been waiting for them to release adventure mode. Is it good?
>>738100763>Is it good?Adventure mode has aways been divisive at best. Some people love it, some people wish it would just fuck off and stop taking dev time from fort mode.If you played it before and enjoyed it. Then it is the same as ever, exept now you can do dungeon diving for magical items and healing.
>>738100097>We might get the magic update as early as 2017 though if we're luckyIt hurts to read it
>>738100763You have already been able to play Adventure mode for almost 15 years anon. DF2012's Adventure mode with mods is considered 'the best'. 2014 and onwards it has a bunch of enshittification and lag that isnt really made up for by updates.
>>738101387Same as it ever was, Same as it ever was
>>738096356>AIWhy?
