It's now stable enough that the legacy starter pack is in full archival mode, and I recommend the new version to all players old and new. >DF 40_05 included a record-breaking 78 separate bugs resolved, more than any release since 0.31.01! You can see the full list here. >Hi all! The Starter Pack has updated to 40_05 r1! As usual, you can get it here. Once you work out the basic controls it's simply a matter of learning one new mechanic at a time and learning through failure until you have a fort that can survive a few years. Because of those two things, it has a bit of a reputation for being unfriendly to newcomers, which is true, but not as bad as some people make out. The histories of civilisations of hundreds of thousands of NPCs are generated, including economics, diplomacy and conflicts spanning hundreds of years and the propagation of new ideas throughout a nation. The game simulates fluid movement and pressure, fire propagation, the spread of poisonous contaminants throughout a map. In combat it's possible to cut off individual fingers or teeth, or blind or paralyse or cripple characters to varying degrees. Your individual dwarves have preferences and fears and neuroses and entire procedurally generated lives outside the little window of time you see them in. The incredibly basic UI and fairly poor controls.You have a little group of dwarves and your goal is to stop them dying from starvation/invasion/infighting/wild badger attacks. Games like World of Goo and Mirror Stage (wow) managed to impress me with their ideas and depth despite simplistic graphics keep an eye on outlets like TIGSource for more good stuff.It's pretty much the original 'colony survival' game (think Rimworld or Banished). There you have it - there are more to be found out there, but the lesson to be learned is not just that ASCII games are awesome (though they are) but that fun and intriguing gameplay doesn’t have to be wrapped in pixel shaders and photorealistic textures. So why do I recommend it? I really don’t know, just try it and find out. You have to tunnel into the living rock (of which there are dozens of kinds), harvest food, build rooms and furniture - pretty much every single aspect of life is accounted for in this beast of a sim, and it is presented in the most user-unfriendly interface I have ever seen.
You then pick a tiny plot of land to build your fortress on and you’re sent there with a few dwarves and a wagon to build a mighty fortress. It adds civilizations which clash, war, leave ruins, and control territories. First, it builds an entire planet for you procedurally, building mountains, running rivers from lakes and so on. I absolutely cannot stress how complicated and addictive this game is. Lastly, if you’re really looking to throw your life away, it may be time for you to investigate the dauntingly complex and eye-boggling Dwarf Fortress. While it doesn’t have the atmosphere of the original (which can still scare), it does appear to have the same labyrinthine map structure. If you’ve already beaten Doom enough times that you don’t care to try again, maybe you should try it in DoomRL, the insane ASCII version set up as a “Roguelike,” after the original ASCII-based adventure/dungeon crawl game and its brethren. Considering the scope of what they set out to do, I think they’ve done quite a good job in depicting space, battles, and planets using only the ASCII character set. One of those insanely deep games with no graphics to speak of. Want to stay in space but craving a little deeper action? Fans of Privateer and games like Freelancer or Escape Velocity should check out Privateer: ASCII Sector.
