Toady added dinosaurs and dino people to the game
>>741882924It's cool that there's an option for how you want them in the game. Like if you wanted a world where they never existed at all, only existed in the past, they currently exist and are rare, or they currently exist and are common so you could have Dwarf Dinotopia if you wanted.
>>741882924I'm just waiting for the magic update
This game had potential but it went absolutely nowhere in the past 15 or so years. Every game you play feels the same, all the forgotten beasts descriptions mean absolutely nothing, it becomes a lag fest once you reach a certain population and then you cant do shit
>>741882924After 300 hours or so I'd have to agree. It's a really cool concept, but dealing with logistics, buggy traders, buggy military, buggy visitors and all that gets boring once you're established.
>>741882924is the most currentest source code available? could vibe fix his mess and make it a proper good game finally
>>741882924don't know what you're consuming, but your picrel is not a dinosaur.
>>741885519apparently the source code isn't gonna be released until toady pops his clogs
>>741883379The Steam version was a mistake.
Wow I played a mod that did that 15 years ago, great job.
>>741882924on purpose?
>>741887017what a waste.
>>741887131The steam version isn't 15 years old you can't blame it for the game being shit
>>741883379Yeah, things went to shit with v31.01, both the years it took to develop that nothingburger but also the fact he was making absolute bank for doing effectively nothingThis set the stage for every other future release. Shortly after that was the "animal sponsorship drive" which got us the bee industry, which was pretty cool, but every other animal on that list got maybe 2-3 species, 2-3 that species + the word "man" tacked on at the end, and that was literally it
>>741883379Dwarf Fortress is the perfect example that If you take too long to develop passion projects you're going to get out shadowed by your fans
>>741887131nah, the steps that lead to the Steam version are to blame. At some point Toady realized DF made most of its money by virtue of being an epic meme game, and despite being a triple autist he decided to lean into those aspects because he's poor as shit and so is his entire familygod that interview he did around 2009 is seered into my fucking brain, the one where the interviewer said the kitchen was entirely empty save for a few cans of diet soda and a water bottle "for the cat"
Magic update soon. Trust the plan.
>>741887812I wish the fans outshadowed him, but there has yet to be a true successor to what DF does wellRimworld gets close, but it focuses too heavily on the gameplay and shorter emergent stories as opposed to the feeling of contributing to the lore of the world.
>>741887906Jesus Christ
>>741888226>that last part
>>741887906>>741888226He was making like 6k a month here btw
>>741883379He added LGBT dwarves, representation matters chud.
>>741882924Lmao, love it when they waste an update to introduce glorified (maybe not even glorified) mod content
>>741882924still has gay black dwarves? still no play
Is there anything truly captivating in DF? I feel like instead of playing DF and trying to tard-wrangle the dorfs, it's way easier to just lie down in my bed and daydream about worlds, adventures and whatnot. There's no fps-death, I can "mod" anything I want in a blink of an eye, and the "simulation" is probably not much worse than the game's - I might not know what difference a giant dingo (tm) turd is going to make for rock formation a million years into the future, but does that actually matter? I know pretty much every game could be boiled down to this (just imagine you're shooting some bad guys lol), but I feel like with DF it doesn't take much boiling at all
>>741892267>waste an updateThis feels like a content padding to fill the gap between whatever toady is doing for the upcoming update that will start adding magic shit to fort mode. It came out of nowhere, and I woudnt be surprised if kitfox pressured toady into doing something this
>>741882924I lost interest when he confirmed transexual dwarves would be a thing and now I just play Rimworld when I have a colony sim itch.
>>741889393I'm surprised he got pozzed when he also made Liberal Crime Squad.
