![]() Time spent on an interface that doesn't make flight simulators feel inadequate would take up time required to realistically model the effect of rainfall on fortress flooding or whatever it is Toady is doing now. It's a good thing he hasn't shown any signs of actually listening to said poll. *I shit you not, in light of all the lack of gameplay fixes and interface fixes, a good 50% of all votes are towards 'make mining more complicated' in the transferrable vote thing. As with all fan-run things, it does run into problems like 'game is impenetrable to outsiders, meanwhile 90% of fans are voting 'add wheelbarrows'* ' and shit like that, but for now the improvements are for once mostly worthwhile. Stuff like how pointy elf ears are and simulating how population genetics work and the like are distractions, but ultimately the new stuff he's making like fixing how injuries work, adding surgery and healing, fixing some of the 'boss' monsters like collossi, potential for underground attackers and getting sieges to be non-trivial to defeat (and perhaps also making it so enemies can find and disarm traps, or fixing trap-abuse somehow so that every fortress stops looking like Indiana Jones style temples): that should all go a ways towards actually fixing the meat of the game to where it isn't stuck in 'easy' mode, although I'd like to see farming become a non-trivial exercise too like it used to be.Īfter all that stuff is done, then I'll switch my vote to 'fix the interface'. I'm not going to complain if the gameplay is fixed so that the game becomes non-autopilot to play and then the interface is fixed. But there's gameplay issues that need to be solved and for once Toady is actually focusing on related things (although not always, with silly distractions).

Sadly, 3dwarf and Khazad aren't too good for playing the game but more for a while you have the game paused, so you have to put up with Algebra Vomit World until you get to the point where like me you don't see the things anymore. Khazad is like 3dwarf, but made of 'holy shit'. Show us inside of fortress in exploded view mode or the like, if you could. ![]()
