What about UX/GUI feedback?
Now that virgin indie game Cyberpunk 2077 has been released, we should move on and wait for Dwarf Fortress the MEGACHAD
A good expectation to have is none. Expect nothing and forget about it for a few years or so then remember and come back. Devs aren't pressured and you don't feel anxious to get your hands on it everyone wins
When I saw this video's title I thought a christmas miracle had happen and a release date had actually been announced >:(
4:14 "Its such a small game"
The 'biggest' understatement of 2020.
Dwarf Fortress is the type of game that is really popular but at the same time its like most people dont know it exists.
Going early access is a bad move, finish the product and then release it don't follow today's trend of releasing an unfinished program to the public.
I think the primary reason it's going onto steam is both wider range of funding and press. Current it's sort of restricted to a certain demographic. Steam will put it at the forefront and easily playable where right now requires knowledge of game packs, et cetera.
Personally, I didnt know there website had a funding page. I thought it was on there twitter
They need to sell Dwarf Fortress for 10 million or more, Yarp.
Strike the Earth!
I will love the Steam Version of DF to death!!!!
i rather have a pushed back game rather then the atrocious messes you get from massive developers these days, DF in all its rights was a labour of love and like to see it grow with that love, its one of those few games where any developer actually cares about their work rather seeing it as a means to get rich quick, i raise a glass to those at kitfox and hope the new year goes well for them
Dont rush it, please please take your time.
viewer beware , this video makes really big claims while not quoting any sources:
big claims like when you will get bigger/bestoutcomes sales of video game in 1.0 and other big claims across video on other topic
he bases that on what? his feelings? no sources or data is given , is he developer? did he release any game on steam? spoke to any developers who did?
i think not. just 1 big misinformation.
——————————————————————–
im leaving the comment as it is but i admit i should not make comments when drunk , i apologise for what i said above as i just mostly wanted more information about some claims made , and made it sound way rougher/mean then i ever wanted to.
Oh yeah…there will be a lot of positive reviews. Look at your own youtube videos.
Let's be real, the guys never were in a hurry to release things. And that's good. They are making a game they want to make and they making it good. I can wait. I believe, you all can too. And then we'll be able to just forget about all other games 😀
I just want to be able to play it on Steam with the new graphics and friendlier logical UI. That’s why I want EA, installing the current version with a mod pack is not the same, and not what I want. I’ve done that already.
I don’t care if it’s still being worked on or if things are being added.
> Refuse to set release date to avoid rushing it and so that gamers can't whine about "delays" or overhype the release.
> Gamers: "Why are they delaying the game?"
Gamedev sucks because gamers suck. You just can't win.
4:20 "It's such a small game."
Are you sure about that?
People being so nice about delay…
unlike Cyberpunk.
I hope they take their time, I just got into the regular version and hope to stream it, I’d hate to seem like a purist for playing ascii compared to textures or people avoid my stream from it too
I am planning on buying the steam version of DF just as soon as its back at full price in 2021.
Will there be any form of tutorials for new players?
"Time is subjective"
I wish early access was not a thing for any game
DF already has years worth of early access from being FTD since forever. Keep up the good work, and I am very excited to see you guys finally get an official release, however long it takes. 2025 for all I care, The only thing I ask for is workshop support.
only game im waiting for
Looooooots of guessing in this one
If this game doesn't fry my Old Laptop from the early 2000s I'm in,Also i think im gonna like this than the older Graphics since its gonna be more pleasing for the eyes,Also the 8 Bit looking design looks good and nice,If it can be more friendly for players it possibly gonna be less daunting for New players new to this game or the Genre
Oh cool I didn't knew DF was on steam haven't played since mid 2000s when. I found the free one on 4chan
4:20 "It's such a small game" Lol! No it's not… DF is one of the most complex games ever programmed in what regards gameplay. You need to have massive brain to program a game like this and there is nothing small about it, that is why it took many years to get where it is.
Rimworld really sucks compared to this game.
I am anticipating the magic and myth updates
We'll get it when it's ready
That's a refreshing way to see a game launch in current year, I look forward to it.
this game should never specify a release date, cyberpunk did it even though they said the game would launch "when it's ready" now look what happened to it
I only ever seen short clips of or simply heard about the original dwarf fortress, I looked into this and decided I'll get into the game when it comes out. Cannot wait, the more I read about the game the more it looks like it's infinite content, I hope it doesn't get rushed though.
Will it be available on GOG? 🙂 Awesome work!
I just realized. Will this have adventure mode?
As someone who works in software, the mantra "We'll release it when it's done" is vital to the successful launch of a product. Happy to see Tarn and the team really taking that seriously and not giving into the pressure to provide some date or window. I know that the push for a release date comes from a good place (excitement and anticipation), but it ultimately creates artificial pressure that can effect the quality of the outcome. I hope they continue to brush off requests for a release date/window and just continue to update the community on progress.
Tarn is getting older….this is a huge tragedy.
Tarn needs an augmented lifespan. That man needs to keep going. His work is extremely important.
