I get the impression he just wants to do his own thing. That would involve no small amount of effort on his part, which doesn’t seem likely. This premium version features new graphics. The one big problem with that is it would involve him learning git, and last time I checked he didn’t use a source control system (the mind boggles). Cult classic roguelike building sim 'Dwarf Fortress' is getting a premium version on Steam and Itch.io, publisher Kitfox Games announced on Wednesday. What I would love to see is the community stepping up and managing pull requests for Tarn.

Maybe random ports to other platforms, but there are source licenses you can attach to your code that prevent this - at least legally speaking in the US. As a one man band I doubt the source code is particularly healthy or instructive to others, so I don’t see somebody taking it and reselling it with or without any more work on it. I think there is a way for him to do this now with not only zero impact on his livelihood, but a net increase. And if money as a concern really does go away for life, he says, why not release the source code? Dabu is a new composer, fresh on the Dwarf Fortress scene, and also created the audio from scratch, all under contract.He wants to keep paying the artists to work on the game after the initial Steam release. “If they choose to do other modding activities on the side, that’s fine, but they’ll have to go through the same Steam Workshop process as everyone else.

“ are starting from scratch and making an entirely new tileset, and yes, they are being paid a rate they feel is fair for the work, so as far as Kitfox and Bay 12 are concerned, for this project they are less modders and more contractors,” Kitfox cofounder Tanya Short said over email.

The new graphics and audio is the result of Kitfox and Bay 12 bringing on a pair of Dwarf Fortress modders to help with this new project: Mike “Mayday” Madej and Patrick Martin “Meph” Schroeder.

This will come with some additions to help people learn how to play the game,” Tarn said. as well as the custom premium tileset that makes it look like. Its basically stylized ASCII you may find its close enough to ASCII that your used to. 2y I like GemSet, only because of how cute and easily readable it is. Dwarf Fortress is making its way to Steam with improved graphics that aren't just a few blips on a screen.Basically whatever brings you the most enjoyment is what you should go with. “Accessibility is one of the important reasons we’re bringing Dwarf Fortress to Steam. A lot of people use the base ASCII tile set, its nothing to be ashamed of. This new Dwarf Fortress is also adding in more tools to help you figure out what’s going on. Also, a goose, goat, and goblin wrestler will not all be represented by a white ‘g’!”

“It should be easier for most players to judge a 32-by-32 image of a patch of grass than the jumble of apostrophes, commas, and periods that we normally put on the screen.

“Graphics are going to help a lot with how impenetrable the game has been for people up to this point,” Tarn said over email. The idea here is to help get others into Dwarf Fortress (such as nincompoops like me). The Adams, who have worked on their game now for about 16 years, enlisted some of their community’s best modders to add graphics to their beloved classic. Dwarf Fortress is a hard game to make sense of for some players, as the items, monsters, and locations are often just made of letters and other characters.
