Noclip has made a great documentary about Dwarf Fortress and it’s creators! Can recommend it, even if you haven’t played it.
A great documentary series. It’s four glorious episodes long!

I fucking teared up when Tarn smiled and showed the camera his secret in the final episode.
They’re all such sweet and genuine people who deserve to be happy.
Fantastic news! I’m so happy they felt impetus to include the less ASCII loving fellow humans in their beautiful game, I tried it a couple times earlier but with too much frustration. The vanilla steambuild changed all that, and at warp 9 as well. Wat a great game, really happy for the developers and publisher.
It’s a shame they changed the UX so much. I love DF and was excited for the steam release, but after realizing you couldn’t play keyboard only anymore, I decided not to buy and just keep playing v47.05.
Hopefully they’ll add keyboard only support sometime in the future, although I know I’m in the minority and most people don’t care or even prefer the new controls.
Nah, I agree 100%. I couldn’t get into DF after those UI changes. Doing anything felt to awkward and slow because I had to keep switching to the mouse.
I made the adjustment, but it hurt. I’m still slower at things than I used to be.
I think they are still maintaining both versions, at least for now.
They still have the free version (without the steam graphics), but it got the same UI changes, so it also needs mouse unfortunately.
