So for some reason I can't get it to work. I went to the site, downloaded the most recent one and followed the instructions. I'm using 40d18 and when I start a fortress I get the same graphics in a different window size. Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

When is the new goddamn version coming out, I want to watch my dwarfs hair grow and I want the underground to be dangerous and exiting again.

Edit: "The current situation is that I expect a (buggy!) Windows release in about a week" on the 26th. Soon precious, soon.

Wow, now you can actually see what's going on! I love rogue-likes, and even though DF really isn't one, the effort you need to learn its ASCII is worse than, say, Nethack. Or ADOM, but ADOM is special by having extremely intuitive ASCII; no idea why I believe that.

I know what you're saying. The only roguelike I can stand to play in ASCII is Rogue itself. The others are way too complex to rely on ASCII.

I don't care about the graphics. Has this game got mouse support yet? :|

It's had mouse support for designations for ages. The only other thing you could possibly need it for is selecting units. Hotkeys are faster than menus, devote a few braincells. :P

I just can't fathom how can one play dwarf fortress with mouse and clickable menus. It will be so slow and inefficient

Jesus fucking Christ, Toady needs to hurry up with that next release. I've been falling over myself waiting for it the last three weeks.

So the new version is released, apparently. Odd day to release it, but everyone is saying it's the real deal. I'll have to check it out when I have a big chunk of free time.

While the dev logs showed plenty of debugging (certainly no shortage there), he did say he'd be releasing it come Friday or so. If you experience a fuckton of crashes or bugs, don't be surprised. The impression I got was that this shit isn't easy to perfect while only running a two-man team.

GAHAHAHA

With all the new additions it runs with a cyclical lag on my comp. Gonna wait for the d# version that supposedly gets better performance :\

Mayday have just uploaded a new version of his tileset.

There is a bunch of icons missing and some are placeholders (the doctor proffesions) because he need to create them from the scratch.

And it is still for the version of DF not merged with the d# branch so, expect lower framerate than usual. But DF accelerator may help you.
