Dwarf Fortress goes to Steam with graphics

its ok im probably going to get it to give toady some cancer shekels

Oh great. Its gonna get ruined by n*rmalfags

I want to be disgusted, but thats pretty fuckin creative. Gonna be real excited to try out the fort bit of the game when it comes out on steam.
Only played the adventure mode so far, killing bandits that took over a human hamlet like a Sam Fisher wolfman currently.
Why does tearing tendons and nerves in the neck not just outright paralyze people in this game?

Why all of those "EPIC" and fantastic stories that dwarf fortress supposedly allow you to experience revolve around the same scheme?
>there was a fortress and it was doing good
>suddenly some random strong monster appeared
>everyone was killed by it
And you guys are so excited about that? Everyone who plays it says that stories and randomness is the main feature, but all I see is the same kind of stories, nothing really interesting.
And to get all this you have to endure horrible interface which is basically patchwork clusterfuck with key bindings that make no sense, and decypher ANSI graphics that, while ok for roguelike, does not fit this kind of complex strategy game. And the author is autistic fuck not wanting to change anything to make his game more appealing.
Why would anyone play that, beside for false feeling of elitism for mastering the horrible controls and graphics? To make things even worse the DF community is terrible and very unfriendly. They act so defensive and look down on anyone who didn't invest 1000+ hours to master the UI like them. But they have to rationalize this waste of time, I guess.

That tileset looks good

It's fun. Takes like three hours to master the interface, it just looks shitty. You'll have it figured out after one decent play session.

i played df in 2011 and can tell you few things: 1. ui actually works when you learn it 2. losing is actually fun and gives you a relief because you learn things all the time and it means now you can build a new, better fort. most importantly losing doesn't feel unfair. YOU dig too deep, YOU ignored the possibility of goblin invasion and so on. in rimworld, for example, you get assfucked by pure rng.

holy fuckin based

Rimworld is about mitigating the effects of an inevitable resource draining incident and preparing for it, DF hands you a shovel you will eventually use to dig your own grave but you can get fucked over with RNG if you aren’t careful/inexperienced.

Zoomers are scum

>then they would chain breeding pairs to the floor so when they had children, they'd stay anchored

What?

Attached: eOHse.jpg (480x480, 103K)

rimworld is about fucktarded combat revolving around building stupid tunnels with traps and having your chad thunderslayer killed by a drooling tribal nigger because rng said so. good thing about df is that your dorfs are actually pretty competent on average so you don't have your ass explode when some fucking lvl1 crook nails your best guy in best armor with best weapon like it's fucking nothing

Toady nerfed the merpeople bones after learning about this.
And yeah that's pretty creative.

How do the new cheesy graphics affect gameplay? How different is it to playing the free version with the ASCII art?
Can you still do EVERYTHING there is to do in the OG but now with real-time animations? Or are the mechanics neutered in favor of these sprites and animations and whatever

Are elephant still massive cunts?

Giant Elephants

Its just a pay2use tileset ya tard

I thought he was pretty clear about what happened. Have you not played this game?

The full history of your pic is in: dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.31:Stories/Bronzemurder

There's a lot of things wrong with that story, when a Forgotten Beast appears the first thing they do is run straight to kill your dwarves, this monster would never "rest" on the top of the pump. I hate to say that but that story was told in a very exaggerated RP manner. Most DF stories are based on things that actually never happened or just told in a "epic" manner just like this one.
Also, it's very common to lose an entire fort with 5+ hours of progress because of stupid shit like werebeasts or sieges.

>Catch merpeople
>Chain them up in an underwater room
>They have babies

>Harvest baby merfolk bones and sell them for lots of money.

I swear only industrialised people harvesting machines like this, created by PLAYERS are found in Dwarf Fortress. Blows my mind.

FB's and other megabeasts can get bugged out when trying to destroy buildings, that's probably what happened.

Decent dorfs shouldn't think too much about that

because the major nerves in the neck are literally your spine

The game is really good but starting up is quite rough.

So will Titans n FBs have random/different sprites?

Some "LP's" take liberties for the sake of storytelling, which is fine. Bravemule is one of my favorites and a lot of stuff in it is different.

So it's pretty much just buying a tileset for DF?

Will lava rivers be full with asshole crabs?

So is there even a way to get this game on steam? I can't even search for it on the store.

yes with improves sounds and UI aswell to draw in the normies

Plenty of the reasons why some shit went down in stories is because of the game fucking up one way or another. But if it makes you feel better, there once was a fort of mine where I separated all the children from the adults because I didn't want them to become friends, then have one of the little fucks die and drive the fort into a self-destructive tantrum spiral.

Of course it all went to shit when a skinless bat flew in from the waterway to the well, spat webs and bashed the skulls in of all but one soldier, who finally killed the damn thing, but at that point it was too late. That fort tore itself apart, and all the kids who lost their parents either went crazy or berserk. Only one kid made it out of that enclosure sane, she killed like ten of the berserk kids by her bare hands and was technically the most talented soldier in the fort, what with all the rest being dead.

Lesson of the story: Don't leave your fucking waterways open to the caverns.

Thanks for the link.

The thing with DF that people that don't play it don't get is that it's actually a really easy game. Once you get over the learning curve, which doesn't take as long as you think, there's basically no reason to ever lose a fort if you don't want to. If all you want is to keep a small handful of dwarves alive indefinitely you can do that with very little chance of anything going wrong, but that's also boring as fuck.
It's the things going wrong that make the game interesting, and taking risks and fucking with shit is what makes things go wrong, so most of the cool stories about the game are
>So I was trying to do this thing
>but I forgot to X
>and then an invasion/forgotten beast/wereYs/fun etc happened
>so I Z
>but @#$
>and then everyone died
And that's much more interesting than
>I embarked, made a farm, set up booze, walled off the outside world and let the game idle

Some things can happen but they are extremely ineffective like those Merperson skull totems in .
First, because you can't do anything with totems, they are just used as a trading goods, dwarves and traders don't give a single fuck if a totem is made of merpersons or sheeps.
Also, you can easily make trading goods with the same value with a easy to gather material like glass. A exceptional green glass serrated disc worth around 10000+ and they are very easy to build.
Fuck man, I browse /dfg/ (dwarf fortress general) on /vg/ for years and I've never seen someone bothering with totems because they are just useless and too time consuming to even bother with it.

Attached: merperson.jpg (412x599, 65K)

Also Toady inevitably is getting a cut from this, which is why he endorsed it. We need a big feature update because its been a long, long time.

>with graphics
Who gives a shit? You were able to install tilesets before as well.

Glass breaks the game so damn hard
>sand is literally infinite
>magma allows infinite use of said sand
>you can decorate with glass
>fuck that you can do pretty much anything with glass that isn't normal weapons and armor

The game doesn't have any sort of storyline, it's just "X does Y" and that's it, it can potentially create massive chain of events in the right condition. That said most of time events are just individual case with no repercussion.

This.
Glass discs can also be used in weapon traps, so there's no reason to not build the entire fort around them if sand is available.
The only downside is that creatures killed by slicing create lots of blood and body parts, dropping the FPS.

Clearly magma is the solution to your problem.

Yeah, I'm also not buying any.

There's just lots to learn, your forts rise and fall. There's a nice little selection of wildlife levels, biomes, evilness levels, blah blah. They all just tweak how your fort is run and what your focus is. There's always different ways you might want to build your fort and different things to focus on. If you can get immersed in it, each fort has their own interesting little story of trials and tribulations and challenges to overcome.

No Man's Sky has INFINITE CONTENT, but after long each planet looks more or less the same. Dorf Fort just has enough things in it that it throws at you that each fort is different enough. Pretty much you play to see how the fort fails. It's a very strange game but if you can get into it, it's pretty easy to lose hundreds of hours in it. Doubly so if you actually want to start doing mega projects.

It's just as interesting as you make it. If you always build your fort in a resource plentiful, safe area you'll get burnt out a couple forts past when you get a good gasp on the game. I'm usually not too into these INFINITE CONTENT games but I do go on an intense dorf fort binge once or twice a year and I still always learn new things and new practices each fort. I've not really felt like it's just the same fort over and over, you know? I don't know. Your mileage may vary. It's free. If you've got a weekend to burn try to dig in. Couldn't hurt.

Glass is time consuming

Magma is the solution for everything since unfortunately leveling the entire in-game map into hell is not possible in human lifetime.

If you build something like this you will be swimming in glass crafts in no time. It's a magma glass furnace near a yellow sand tile, sand tiles are an infinite source of sand btw.

DF is one of my all time favorites lads. I hope you give it a couple hours and some study time on the side. For the 5 hours (tops) of research you do, there's infinite hours of playtime ahead. The only limit is your imagination. Just remember to take breaks. If you can't think of anything new to do, or feel like the game is becoming work, come back to it when you feel like it. Don't just let time pass in a fortress unless you're waiting for something to get done before you can move on with your plan.

In Minecraft you could create dark chambers of certain dimensions or utilize the monster spawning blocks and have water lead them to a lava block while the water moved the items to your safe chamber. They're called mob grinders and it's a staple of non-creative mode playstyle. Good way to make TNT.

Well, they're not actually incorrect points, mostly
It's just that they're basically insignificant compared to how much the game offers that nothing else does, and fixing them is a pretty low priority compared to the infinite list of other shit that would improve the game and should be left until it is closer to feature complete, even if that isn't for another decade or two

There's a whole section on teaching you how to play the game, you should look it up.

Hello, I'm the dev of an indie game that plays like DF, but more casualized and progressive called "Odd Realms".
It's currently in Early Access, but I'm getting there. Anyone want a free steam key?

Not with UI like this.
It may have graphics, but normies totally won't bother learning how to play.
Gotta admit - seeing Dorf Fort on Steam is pretty surreal.

Are you the game?

I used to play it a lot back in the day, but then there was an update that broke a lot of shit and I stopped playing. It's all been fixed since, I've been told, but I never bothered to pick the game back up.

I guess this version's profit is going towards someone's cancer treatments? I might snag it.

I should mention that the free and steam versions will stay identical code-wise so modders will be able to make use of the new graphics features, the difference is that the steam version will come with the premium graphics set.

>Toady caved in and will start doing basic UX improvements that have been fucking everyone over including hardcore players since the beginning of time
Oh no how terrible...

They don't.
It's just normal DF bundled with an """official""" tileset and a couple of extra seasonal .ogg songs for different seasons.

It isn't a roguelike, it is its own genre. Best way I can describe it is an autism level chaos simulator.
This is a game where the guy programmed cats getting drunk from licking the alcohol off themselves when they are in the mess hall. He also forgot about it so when he actually implemented intoxication all the cats got extremely drunk, started vomiting everywhere, then dying. He made each cleaning equivalent to the cat drinking a whole beer. It was hilarious.
Other games that are in this genre are Rimworld and Prison architect. Rimworld is quite good, but Dwarf Fortress stands alone. No one can touch what that game has.

Headshoots and it's sequel Syrupleaf are both fucking amazing too.

Play both user!

You know you can ignore them, right?

>Combat is massively RNG
Bungas not knowing how to trap

It has sound effects too but Toady said they were "minimal", my guess is that it's for events like caravans arriving and such rather than sound effects for fighting and other common stuff.

It's the magic of simplistic visual interface.

Put anyone behind a screen and tell them the people are just keyboard characters and you've created a psychopath.

The amount of autism to have the patience to play this game must be insane.

I salute you all poor souls who have nothing better to do.

Nice.

It's not THAT complex, it's just a bit obtuse but things come in naturally once you learn the basics.

Its honestly not that hard. Once you get used to it, it's like in of like playing the sims, only you have 60+ characters that you can't control, and in the end you experience a great fun and start over.

Does it have controller support? Need my controller or I cannot enjoy games.

It's pretty unique and interesting since the mechanics and world gen are mostly designed for fortress stuff, it really feels like you're an individual in this simulated world that doesn't particularly care about you.

Can you control a human town that mainly earns profit through adventurers/monster killing and as such never 'digs too deep'? I've never really cared about dorfs as a race, but I'd be down basically making Goburin Srayer the township at release. Even pay full price, which is more than I can say i've done for OverpricedWorld.

I will without shame admit I couldn't get into Dwarf Fortress in it's free form. I need graphics; even basic ones. I'll even pay a fee if it isn't trying to take me for a moron.

You can install a tileset right now for free.

Google images isn't picky and neither am I.

No graphics are the best part. The game is beautiful entirely plain. Tilesets ruin the entire experience.

I believe I tried a few years back, but it wan't the same as in the preview screens on Steam at the moment, and I'm willing to part with a take outs worth of cash for it.

yes, with metals turned up high enough, if the top layer is a "sedimentary layer" you will have everything you need to produce steel along with nearly endless amounts of gold/silver/copper without digging too far.

You can harvest corpses monster slayers kill and butcher them for meat/hides/bones to make stuff from but this requires micro management which can be extremely random due to what can appear in the caverns

You can build surface towns and fortress (or aboveground "towns") can adopt monster slayers who wander there to kill shit. I'm not sure if you can build your entire economy around it, but I'm sure someone has tried.

it's someone building his fortress around the idea of monster hunting, although it's not their primary function

>about to talk shit about it being a money grab and it being a clone of already existing tile mods
>it's for his brother's cancer treatment
uhhh

complain anyway

What's a tileset with similar or superior quality to this?

Thnaks. I mean, sure, no need to be 100% focused (no real economy is) but as long as the theme can exist and that eventual bullshit 'ending' can be avoided, count me in.

It's not like digging too deep has to be an ending, there are methods to just keep killing the clowns.

They're digging into a mountain, silly.

I wouldn't now. My longest playthrough was making a few tunnels into a hill. I just want to make a generic jrpg town and see how long I can keep/make it successful.

If there wasn't a hideous tileset ruining everything you'd have understood what you were looking at. But now you don't. Well done tileset users. Well done. What's next? Mouse support? BLARGH!

it's a ramp

Is... is this some deep and newly discovered level of elitist/autism that few ever get to see? I feel like I'm watching a nature show.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, there are people legitimately mad that more people will play DF now even though Toady said he's not changing the game at all.

Why do retards put up their games on Steam months before it's out?
By the time it's released all my hype is gone and I don't feel like buying it anymore.

>find surface sand
>chop down all trees
>make large serrated green glass discs and trade for anything you need
Not really that hard if you can live with waiting for caravans.

>still no boats
>enemies can't tunnel or break down castle walls
Yeah, that's a hard yikes for me.

They're serviceable
duno why people think in order for the game to have graphics they have to look amazing
game wasn't made to really function perfectly graphics wise it's why it's been ASCII for so long

What's a good, square ASCII tileset?

The only thing that was stopping me from playing Dwarf Fortress was Ascii shit so I'm pleased I finally get to enjoy it

nu-Yea Forums is so fucking garbage holy shit zoomer trash ruin everything

Babies want their secret club and part of their personality rests on the fact they learned an incredibly hard to get into game and now it's going to be a little more approachable.

Who are you quoting?

>people complaining about the tileset even though it's optional
>people saying that they can finally play the game because it finally has a tileset
Where the fuck do these people come from?

>It's real

>hard to get into
Play the game for a single day without smoking anything. You have to be a barely functioning retard to actually believe the drivel you're typing.

Posers and zoomers

>it's not even hard dude
yeah we get it man you're so cool
I've played the game but you'd have to be a turbo autist to not understand why people are put off or find it hard to get into in this day and age of video games.

anikki is my favorite, pair it with a good pastel / warm color scheme

>why people are put off or find it hard to get into
no one cares about these people

Tryhard fakers and total scrubs

we are on Yea Forums, after all.

>look at the picture thinking that fortress was build higher than grass due to look of slopes
>but that makes entrance look retarded
>actually it's just build into slope

Who i am quoting?

people who need money for american health care do

pretty sprites is not going to make it easier for those people

maybe it'll give them the kick in the butt they need to actually learn but yeah there's going to be a lot of refunders probably.
Still I think their attempts will be successful

>Is it good?
it's not even out yet faggot

>On the 20th of Slate, Mid-Spring, disaster strikes.
>Some migrants have arrived.

This is glorious, thank you.

probably most of the people buying are just going to do it because of the medical situation

DF isn't hard, it is just complex.
In a way, it is one of the games that has achieved that Holy Grail of game design: "Easy to learn, hard to master".

Being a new player, all you need to make a self sustaining, functional fortress is an underground space dug out, a universal stockpile, a plump helmet farm, a still, some bedding, and that is it. And all it takes is learning task designation, farms, permitted jobs, workshops, stockpiles etc

With just that, you can keep a fortress going for a long while, before the inevitable raids, tantrum spirals or whatever. You learn the other systems just by playing and having DFWiki open.

Eventually, you will have to learn tge military and trade system.
But there are some very complex systems in the game that you don't even need to use. Like the justice system. I've built many successful forts where I just haven't even bothered with the justic system. Same goes for machinery, or animal domestication.

I'd be more inclined to go through the the tutorial on the wiki if the UI was a little easier to handle. I'll be getting the Steam version on the off chance it also has a better mouse UI along with a fancy tileset.

>Looking at tilesets, always just picked something random from LNP
>While waiting for ascii tilesets, see all these pastel colors

Legitimately hype. I've never actually took time to tweak these things and some of these look so fucking nice.

I've enjoyed playing DF a lot, it's a game I always like to comeback... but I still haven't learned how to deal with aquifers. I remember trying something from a tutorial once and it didn't work. From then on I just disable them in the world creator.

That's dumb, there have been graphic packs since always. I must have hundreds of hours in the game and I've never dealt with "Ascii shit"

After the fighting system was revamped and people's skulls were reinforced I managed to have a very hilarious death where I spent HOURS in game being beaten until they finally snapped my neck.

How many years before the steam version is even released? When toady gets another medical scare right?

time is subjective

>WoW Classic
>Halo: MCC
>Dwarf Fortress
is this the year of PC bros?

Two of those are cancer that destroyed their respective genres.

>justice system
Build some small rooms, put a cage in them and enable for justice use, appoint a hammerer, convict someone when a crime is committed. That's it.

Unless you're playing for tantrums it's good to have quality chains and food and booze and so forth in your jail cells.

Dwarves will bring food/beer to prisoners. You can put nice things for them to look at if you want.

how much did adventure mode change in the last 10 years?

This is just a paid tileset /w music and steam workshop integration

The free version still has everything. The devs said they only did this because they can't afford their medical bills and don't wanna die

So you guys are probably better than me at dorf fort.

I've struck a cavern. My staircase is coming straight down through the ceiling. How do I block this off? Do I take the last layer of stairs, remove stairs, and build walls where they use to be?

DF's biggest needs are a modern icon-based based interface and actual graphics. If you combined that with a tutorial fort (something kinda like the wiki tutorial, except in-game), it'd make the game far more intuitive.

For example, you could have 4-5 icons arranged in a semi-circle in the lower right for actions and and another five or so in the top right for management. In the lower right hand area, there's an icon that says "labor" when hovered over, with a picture of a dwarf swinging a pickax. In there, the stockpile icon is a circle that's divided into three: trash, ores, and furniture. When you click on it, it opens the full menu. Having an entire menu system along those lines would make things much easier to navigate and remember, not to mention just making the game look better. Of course, the hotkeys would still be available for people who've got the hang of things and want to speed things along.

something like that. my usual MO would be
>build a new set of stairs from the last non-cavern layer to the layer above it - just a down stair on the lower level, not an up/down stair
>remove the stairs/channel out the old stair tile(s) in question
>build floor (or wall) where they used to be
just make sure you do that first step otherwise dwarves will get stuck down there and might not be able to access the building materials necessary for the construction

>just a down stair on the lower level
meant "just an up stair," hopefully that was obvious despite my retardation

That was kind of my first thought, I just wasn't sure where to put the stairs to keep dwarves from getting stuck. Thanks a million.

Those ramps looks so much better from the initial reveal. I still don't like it much but at least I understand which direction they go.

I think much bigger issues are things like FPS death, forbidden doors, dwarves dodging through walls and so on.
Pretty graphics don't help that much when the ingame FPS is less than 10.

What tileset/colors is that?

DF stories take place in an unhinged high fantasy setting, but the bugs add a degree of absurdity to the stuff that happens in a regular fortress.
>swimming is a skill that determines how fast an entity in the water is
>carp are swimming constantly, strength training all their lives
>fisher dwarves are killed by the buffest chad carp to ever exist
etc etc

Yes, I'm planning on building a proper system after 2 years of using a bloody APU/iGPU
Really lookin forward to Halo 3 on PC

No, RPG Maker looks much worse since XP. I still don't know why Enterbrain/Kadokawa went with the cutesy GBA/DS style when most of the popular games included gore and/or horror. ,
Many of the good Maker games are still made with the 2000 and 2003 Maker, this is particulary true for JP games. Also, there's the Wolf Maker which is free and a better RPG Maker. Many of the good JP Maker games are made with the Wolf Maker.

Good luck user!

>embark on haunted biome
>manage to kill a carp
>it gets back up as a zombie carp, no longer constrained by water
Don't embark on haunted biomes kids

>embark on terrifying biome
>2x2 area
>all dwarves die in 30 seconds because of an undead giant mosquito

There should be a dryness/wetness mechanic in this game and given the amount of detail I'm surprised there isnt
Like if a dwarf wades in 1 depth water, their shoes get wet, if they wade in 2 depth, their pants get wet etc
and then the wetter the dwarf is the more susceptible they are to frostbite in winter

>hey that tile set looks pretty god maybe-
>still no mouse support

wew fucking lad

Who is this "Four Chan"?

the temperature and even light mechanics are incredibly threadbare too, so don't hold your breath

Obviously I'm talking more from a feature standpoint than a performance standpoint. It sounds like DF needs to be remade from the ground up with efficient, easy-to-follow code.

user which tilesets are you actually familiar with?

None, I haven't touched this game since 40d and I played on default tileset back then. I've been experimenting with the most recent release but haven't found anything I liked so far. I liked Wanderlust's palettes but not the tileset itself.

Stop fucking posting.

It's the story you tell as you play. It's fun and you are not.
