Pfft. That's nothing. DF uses an entire core.


Excerpt from today's DF development log:

An eyeless, horned woman shambled out of the woods and dragged off an unfortunate villager to her lair. After a time, the transformation was complete, and the man became known as a "dusk ogress mate", having become a horrible creature similar to his new spouse. Eventually, he fathered a dusk ogress, the children of his first wife forgotten, and he began to make visits to nearby villages himself to kill the innocent. Fortunately, he never attacked his old village, for he would not have recognized his previous family if he had.

Of course, it's not a dev log story if it doesn't have a bug. Instead of staying out in the woods, the dusk ogress mate maintained a lingering connection to his old civilization and moved into a town. Despite his eyelessness, he made a fine fishery worker, and the townspeople never noticed that he was going off every few years to bring terror to neighboring communities. They didn't notice the horns either.

If it weren't for the bailout we'd have the funding to invent antigravity before the Chinese did.

Sweet mother of missed opportunities.

There's a few visualizers floating around that do stuff like that. The middle one hasn't been updated for a while and doesn't work with recent versions of DF. The top and bottom screenshots DO work with the latest release (or at least the second- or third-latest versions, which is close enough); the true 3D one is Overseer, and the isometric one is Stonesense.

last screeny source plz

That's actually mine. Quote from the DF forums with more screenies:

The plateau is 100 z-levels above the valley floor, give or take a couple.

This fortress brought to you by Shadowlord and Markavian, the makers of the Map Compressor and Map Archive. 1.7 gigabytes of BMPs were disemboweled in ritual sacrifice to summon this map archive. The .fdf file is 283 kilobytes. Dear Armok, that's a lot of compression. Kudos, guys.

Too bad full color support in the 3D utilities wasn't finished until after the big save compatability break.

Snowdune the wrench gibbering?

I've been noticing Moth over on GameFAQs RI more frequently than usual, I think.

A long time ago, he said he preferred these boards over regular RI, because these were funnier, but the RIA's been in a bit of a slump for a long time.

I get messaged by cctasdf7717 every day for very personal reasons that involve a lot of money changing hands.
