And yes, with a little imgainaaaation (cue South Park episode) any game like this becomes more satisfying to play. In the meantime, it offers lots of variety and challenge, from all I read, and what my friends tell me. I look forward to seeing what this game becomes when they reach v1.0. Once you get used to THAT level of ASCII, and that arcane an interface, this game is a beauty to look upon, and it's still being heavily developed. I've led drunken expeditions into zombie-infested volcanic wasteland, and built thriving and mighty holds complete with cotton candy and circus clowns (for those who play the game, you know what fun things i mean!). Now, before the boos and hisses start from the troll section, let me also state that I've played vanilla Dwarf Fortress for several years now. I've combed over the screens on here and a few shots elsewhere on the net, and it looks very nice for a game of the roguelike genre. I have a friend who highly recommends I try it out. I'll preface my statement by saying, no, I don't own this game yet, but I plan to. You still feel like a badass hardcore roguelike player, but the tileset gives you a ton of clever affordances. The default tileset is curses640x300.png, so until there is an update, only 640×300 and 8×12 will render properly. But the tiles are still basic enough, especially with the judicious but meaningful color choices, combined with the scanline effect that you still feel the old school geek cred flowing through you. I really want something as close as steam version. Hello, I really want to start playing DF but I don't know which tileset to choose. : r/dwarffortress by ajpekak Best tileset for beginner similar to the steam version. You'll often need to use look to check for details, but you won't accidentally walk into a trap just because you didn't know it wasn't a chest or a tree or something. Best tileset for beginner similar to the steam version. It just looks like a bunch of scrambled text to me.Ĭaves of Qud on the other hand has tiles that show enough detail to tell generally what things are just by seeing it. The problem I have with stuff like Nethack and Dwarf Fortress in ASCII mode is that it's hard for me to associate various textual characters on a 2D map with what they're supposed to represent. What I love about the tileset is that it provides just enough detail. My only complaint is that there are a fair number of repeats/placeholders, but this is obviously being actively worked on.

See this post on the Bay12 Forums for more info, and to find out how to reclaim file listings.Just adding my two cents here, I love the tileset. Automated backups will definitely be in place now, like we thought they were before. Sincere apologies, this should never have happened. All of the files that were orphaned are now in the new Orphaned Files category at the bottom of the category list. Thankfully all file downloads themselves were unaffected. The default tilesets (640×300 and 800×600) render 8×12 and 10×12 characters respectively, with majuscule latin letters occupying a 7×9 box, and appear broadly similar to the IBM MDA font based on the shape of the '0', 'g', and 'f' characters (but with slight differences including the '0', 'W', and 'y'). A lot of other data (comments, votes, so forth) was likewise rolled back.

User accounts were obviously rolled back too accounts newer than the time of the database backup will need to be recreated. File listings for file IDs 10461 - 16147 could only be partially recovered but have fully intact and up to date file downloads. Long story very short: the site database was lost, the server didn't have automated backups like we thought, and the database had to be rolled back to one from 2015 (yes, I know).
