Dwarf Fortress
Mar. 11th, 2009 12:47 amI first learned of the existence of Dwarf Fortress not quite a year ago thanks to Three Panel Soul. I thought I'd made a post here about it back then, but apparently not. Anyway, Dwarf Fortress is an ASCII-based* world simulation game, in which you play as a colony of dwarves. You're trying to get a foothold in the world and make a fortress, and then branch out and become a successful civilization.
I tried to get into this back then, and it looked like it would be very interesting to play. However, at the time, I was busy with other things and just didn't really get into it. Part of the reason for this is that the game is very very complex, it seems. I just couldn't get the hang of it in the limited time that I had to mess with it, and then kind of forgot about it afterward.
Well, it looks like there are a series of extensive tutorials available for the game now that weren't around back then. Therefore, I might give this a shot again soon.
* - Originally, though it seems there are some tile-based graphics packs that I didn't know about before, judging from the screenshots in the tutorial... interesting. Makes me want to try it again even more.
