It sounds like underneath the new graphics and sound, Dwarf Fortress is essentially unchanged. Since both of the artists have been around DF for so long, many of the needs of the project are understood without requiring our input. Though we have the final decision on every tile, and we have input and preferences, sure, we're often delighted with the art they come up with. Did you have any input or requests or desires for the new graphics style, or did you leave that up to Kitfox and the artists to decide? We interact with them frequently, almost daily. It's still possible to zoom out to get a larger view of your fortress, but we decided that 32x32 would give Mike and Meph enough room to be expressive and tackle some of the more complicated workshops and items. Importantly, the text won't be the same size as the sprites Dwarf Fortress to this point has had the ability for modders to add creature graphics, but the creature and text sprites had to be the same size, which was awkward and led to some pretty ingenious work from modders to overcome the limitation. Tarn Adams: Yeah, the sprites are 32x32, but some of the creatures like elephants or dragons can be larger, spreading out into neighboring tiles a bit. Under the surface, Dwarf Fortress will otherwise be the same game. The new 32x32 pixel graphics tileset is being created as a collaboration between two long-time Dwarf Fortress modders. Kitfox Games, makers of Moon Hunters and the upcoming Boyfriend Dungeon, are handling publishing and working with artists and a composer for the new release.
And while it's always been moddable, the new Steam and Itch. Dwarf Fortress is as famous for its ASCII graphics as it is for its unparalleled depth as a procedurally generated simulation of existence. I'm telling you, with a straight face, that this is the biggest PC gaming news of Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam, with graphics and Workshop mod support.
