If you're curious what's so fun about the wacky, overwrought simulation, check out Nate's long-running Dwarf Fortress Diary: The Basement Of Curiosity. You can find a couple more screenshots of the in-progress tilset in Bay 12's post. If the selected tileset requires modifications to the Raws, you will have to make those edits. (No don't give me that 'Use your imagination' excuse. If it just had a decently comprehendable UI and graphics that could actually be understood people would find it far simpler to play than it is regarded as. It will probably not look right using it with vanilla Dwarf Fortress. People exagerate Dwarf Fortress's complexity. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. It'll still be free (sans new graphics) on Bay 12's site, but this ginormous world simulator has been a labor of love for the last 17 years so tossing the creators a few buckaroos would be pretty grand. Each tileset is just an image, so there is no separate download link. The official new look is coming as a bonus for the paid version of Dwarf Fortress eventually coming to Steam and itch along with some other new bells and whistles. Players have been making their own tilesets for Dwarf Fortress's free version for ages. Bay 12 specifically point out that you can see the meeting hall walls have been smoothed out since dwarves tend to prefer that for bedrooms and whatnot. We'll do some additional work later on in the process that further bolsters the three dimensionality of the game."Īs for the fort in the screenshot up top, there's a log pile and carpenter's workshop outside and a mason's workshop, a metalsmith's forge, and a meeting hall inside.

"The artists have done a great job with preparing shadows and shading to indicate that those ramps go up, and not down. The new textures are much easier on the eyes, though I'm sure purists will staunchly stick to the original view.īay 12 are in particular showing off how terrain ramps look out in the world and some of the smoothed and rough stone tiles for dwarf dwellings. They say the shadows on ramps are key to help people "understand what has been traditionally a very confusing part of the game." They're black screens with bright green, yellow, and cyan all over that hurt to look at. I imagine you've seen its original ASCII maps before. In this series i hope to show people that dwarf fortress is not as hard to play as some would have you believe. But did not find tileset, looking even a littlebit like in trailer. We've no idea when the paid version of giant world sim Dwarf Fortress will finally be available, but in the meantime Bay 12 are showing off what the officially overhauled textures will look like. Bay 12 shows off animals, a fortress, and some less confusing ramps in a look at its official tileset in the works.
