Dwarf Fortress - WHAT ARE ALL THESE CATS DOING HERE - Games

[QUOTE=GenericAlt;16038483]God dammit, you're tiring. The thing is, the more people working on it, the more discussions he'll have to have to keep the game the same, functioning, and working. It will be a lot more meetings, rather than actual development, and it will take EVEN LONGER. And the community is happy with this the way it is.[/QUOTE] But then again, there are alot of aspects which he obviously isn't working on, and what's the worse that could happen if someone modifies it so the game has better pathfinding

[QUOTE=Bile demon;16038708]But then again, there are alot of aspects which he obviously isn't working on, and what's the worse that could happen if someone modifies it so the game has better pathfinding[/QUOTE] The game uses [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm]A*[/url] path-finding. It's one of the best methods for doing it, and if you've ever played the game you should know it works very well.

[QUOTE=Appox;16038579]It runs faster basically, a hell of a lot faster for some people. (DF is a very CPU intensive game) No new features in it, at the moment it's just getting the bugs ironed out before it becomes the official version of DF. (It's pretty much done)[/QUOTE] Oh good. I've been holding off on trying DF again until a new version is released. Can't wait.

I personally think the UI is just fine. Perfect to me, pretty much. Lots of information, good hotkeys, easy to get a lot of commands out in a short period of time. If a person is willing to spend just 3 days getting to know the UI, they won't even remember it's there.

[QUOTE=Bile demon;16038708]But then again, there are alot of aspects which he obviously isn't working on, and what's the worse that could happen if someone modifies it so the game has better pathfinding[/QUOTE] You have no idea what you're talking about. You're just making yourself look like an idiot.

[QUOTE=Thorny;16039438]You have no idea what you're talking about. You're just making yourself look like an idiot.[/QUOTE] You are probably right. I stopped, you just brought it up

[QUOTE=Appox;16037193][IMG]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4473/78165785.png[/IMG] This is the state of the fort now, soaked. It's safe though... inside. The man-made waterfall i've just created is right next to the temp stockpiles I set up at the start, so all the dwarfs get hungry, go to get a snack, and run away in fear. I'll have to fix that... not right now though![/QUOTE] On the bright side, the farm's irrigated.

[QUOTE=Bile demon;16038404]Or maybe he's afraid of other people getting THEIR name on HIS game. Because it's all for him and about him, and if the game gets released, he wants to be the sole name behind it[/QUOTE] um maybe cuz it [i]is[/i] his game? nah of course not.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyGunz;16040467]um maybe cuz it [i]is[/i] his game? nah of course not.[/QUOTE] But if other people worked on it, it would no longer be "his" creation, it would be their creation

Building my first execution tower. Will also serve as watch tower. I am aiming for a 15 level.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about regarding game creation or any else of the shit you've spewed on this thread. Maybe do some fucking research and get more experience before talking shit. Also some people prefer to work in small tightly packed groups(easier to manage, faster decisions, you aren't dependant on others if they screw up or anything else like that). Have you ever thought of those before coming up with your bullshit conspiracy theories? No? Then stop trying to act smart and get out of the thread. Also I just recently started playing Dwarf Fortress again. I'm probably going to create some stupid fortress like the hermit one where I just keep on dwarf inside the fortress while I lead all the others to their deaths.

Anyways, he can't really have those people right next to him, can he?

[QUOTE=Bile demon;16042379]But you get what I mean[/QUOTE] He is already part of a 1.5 group. He, and his brother.

Why don't you go complain to HIM on HIS forums?? YOU KNOW WHERE SOMEONE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK THE PROBLEMS ARE! Stop shitting on this thread where no one CAN DO A DAMN THING!

Ever Internet petition I saw worked.

[QUOTE=Soren;16042297] Can you even like hold a fort with just one dwarf? Seriously.[/QUOTE] Yes you actually can. It's really difficult at the start where you have to set everything alone. I took the easy way out and brought along a pick, an anvil, some drinks and plump helmet spawns(should've brought along food too...). It was a really difficult start, but once I got farming up and going and cut all contact to the outside world things became easier. You're not going to create any megastructures or anything cool like that. Like for instance I've only got a simple emergency water system(if my booze runs out), traps, my dwarf's living quarters and then just food, drink, seed and rock stockpiles. Basically you just try and survive. I also fear the moment when my dwarf is ridden with a fey mood or something.

[QUOTE=Skwee;16044615]Yo, I kind of want to try that, but how do I kill off the dwarves?[/QUOTE] I would [A]ctivate them all, assign them to the same squad, station them in a room and lock the door. You might want to flood it. I think you also can place them on a bridge, when you retract the bridge the stuff on the bridge are supposed to fly everywhere. So that might be one possibility too.

One dwarf challenge sounds like a lot of FUN

For some reason I picked up this game quite quickly, farming was really easy and everything made a lot of sense.

Personally, I think this story is on par with boatmurdered, despite it not being a bloodline, and only having one dwarf.

Is it possible to mod adventure mode characters and if so how. I want to be the size of an elephant and made of adamantine skin.

The new burrows concept makes me hard and want to do naughty things. I hope the next major release comes relatively soon.

Read that somewhere on the bay12games forums, don't know if it's true or not.

[QUOTE=GunFox;16046605]The new burrows concept makes me hard and want to do naughty things. I hope the next major release comes relatively soon.[/QUOTE] What is the burrows concept? I read it's name somewhere, but I didn't know what it was, or anything about it. Also, do you guys like my new avatar lol, it makes me laugh every time I see it.
