I bounced off Dwarf Fortress a lot over the years, even with the packs to help. Eventually I got the hang of Adventurer Mode and quite enjoyed it! Now I'm just waiting for that mode on the steam version!

I bought the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress. I did not realise it was actually a time machine.

Every time I started it, I would instantly jump 4 hours into the future.

When the Steam version was announced, I decided to dive in to the game blind. In the months before the release, I ended up seeing some interviews of Tarn and fell in love with their vision and quiet dedication.

Steam version came out and I dumped easily 200+ hours into the game. I'm waiting for adventure mode to dive back in. Can't wait.

The game is definitely not for everyone. But it is very special.

Do you know if there's a noob friendly Lemmy community for Dwarf Fortress. I want to get into the game

I don't know, I'm sorry!
