Just waiting for it to get ported to mac! I can't wait! But here's for all you PC users out there. Enjoy! Post some stories!!
Indeed, and wow! The new material system is kinda weird with regard to weapon damages vs. armors...as I read the official forum, it looks like that other players also found it weird or bugged. Either way, off to play!
The original DF was great, but this updated version looks like a P.O.S. They couldn't have updated the graphics just a little bit? All those ASCII characters, even colored in 16 bit, looks incredibly lame. The Avernum series looks better then this. Don't get me wrong, it's the game-play that matters. Even awesome game-play though can't save a game when looking at it makes my eyes want to burst out in gushing blood. Ultima 1 graphics would be a improvement over the ASCII symbols they used. Sad, very sad. I give them a "E" for effort though.
This one contain's some profanity, so I won't direct link.http://s.lurkmore.ru/images/9/97/Dwarf-fortress.PNG
Maybe I'm blind but is there some release notes or something that details the changes? I couldn't find it.
lol nice.

This outlines everything pretty well
ugh, I wanna play so bad, even though I hear its a glitch fest.
@ Raven: I hear what your sayin brother. I wish it could look a little better too. Some x-com graphics would make this game the absolute shit. But I still would go for gameplay any day of the week and this game has got it goin on imo. The immersion in this game is unparalleled. Seriously, I have never been so engrossed in a game in my life. This is coming from a huge Master of Magic and X-com fan.
There's some decent graphics packs out there. They don't make it king's bounty(lol @ hortz), but at least it's not ascii anymore.
Actually 'til gfx and text won't be separated in the engine...it's impossible to make proper gfx packs.
I don't know what you define as a 'proper' gfx pack, but I'm not looking at ascii anymore, and that's plenty proper for me.
1. You see weird symbols in the text.
2. You cannot create an image for all of the objects in the game.

^ As you can see, there is no "O" letter, it's been replaced with a symbol. The overland maps are full with letters and numbers, instead of graphical tiles...etc.etc.
However, it is definitely better than the basic ASCII "gfx", that is true.
I've noticed that, but I'd rather that than ascii.
Omg.
Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg.
Jalicos, Novice Fortress Designer cancels Everything: Downloading New Version
I am loving the new version, but ohhhhhhhhh boy, it's a bugfest basically. Combat is annoying, it's totally "unrealistic" right now, because of the material -> tissue layer system bugs. The military ain't working properly at all etc. etc.
Hopefully Toady will release a new version soon, which fixes the most annoying bugs.
Im hopin they get fixed soon too so we can get this baby ported!
Hmmm, btw whats toady's stance on the ipad? Because I could see touchscreen DF being a huge factor in my possible purchase
This is nice!
