The Naked Emperor of video games.
Lost to Rimworld HARD.
Didn't evolve after decade of development.
>>
>>738849141
It's hare and tortoise. DF had huge potential, but the developer wasted a ton of time working on some nonsense instead of solving real problems and improving the game. Ultimately Steam version was simply too little too late.

Haven't played in years but my first time with DF was back when 40d was new.
>>
>>738849339
the steam version is also awful
>>
minecraft and rimworld ripped this game off and made billions
>>
>>738848042
STILL no custom ascii tilesets on steam ver
Still tranny dwarves
>>
Did dwarf fort die because the code became unfixable?
>>
>>738849431
Rimworld ripped it off and made it 10x better so good

Different genres
Rimworld is closer to casual settlers clones from early 00s, where you jsut streamline workflow, with audience being mostly young female teens
Dwarf fortress actually tries to simulate real world physics and shit

>>738850305
Biggest fucking cope I have ever seen
>Different genres
jfc

>>738849489
No it died because Rimworld beat it to the finish line. Then when DF was finally made palatable for the masses, everyone immediately saw how shadow (and easy) it actually was.
>>
>>738850305
This kind of crap is exactly why DF faded into obscurity. Instead of improving the actual gameplay time and effort were wasted on random nonsense that has absolutely no impact on gameplay.

>>738850590
>DF faded into obscurity
Not really, people who want experience that dwarf fortress provides still play it, zoomers play something else.
>>
>>738850305
Yeah, I’ve played both casually (a few dozen hours), vanilla, and Rimworld is definitely the normalfag option of the two.
But I don’t think Dwarf Fortress can be saved anymore, the developers would need to start from scratch, but there’s no way around it at this point.

z levels

Still no original hotkey support, being forced to use the mouse sucks ass
>>
>cant create a colony of cult worshipping goblins that raid for hostages to rape and breed women and to watch the men fight duels with each other or wild animals in arenas to entertain the goblins
dropped this for Rimworld

>>738849141
Rimworld is for transgender furries.

What a retarded cope. Especially when game is on steam with proper UI.
>Dwarf fortress actually tries to simulate real world physics and shit
LOL. The game is primitive and has less complexity than Rimworld without DLCs,
>>
Soulash 2 is basically Dwarf Fortress if its Adventure Mode was actually good. You can even build your own settlements in that, and there's no gay or tranny dwarves in it.
>>
>still no economy
>still no magic
>still no boats
Toady has spent literal decades doing fuck all, the seige update was nice because it actually impacted major game system for once, but the guy is obsessed with fine tuning the not-game in his videogame. DF has been going downhill since World Activation.
>>
>>738853337
Again Soulash 2 has all that shit.

Rimworld literally does not even have a z-axis. It's literally missing a dimension. It's a 2D game.
>>
>>738850305
DF audience is now fat troons, they disowned chuds when they moved to steam.
