Multi realms, worlds or planes
« on: April 12, 2016, 03:15:13 pm »

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I would like to see elements where it's possabile to have worlds connected or for one world to have multiple realms or planes of existences. Even if said worlds are regions you made that you can connect to it you want to are viable is fine by me.

Umm... That's exactly what Toady has stated he's working on right now.  For that matter, that's exactly what the HFS is, so it's already in the game.

The last future of the fortress post.  He leaves a notification on the front page when he makes one.

We're hoping to add new landforms in the first release (giant region-sized cosmic egg shell fragments, and so forth), and eventually get to entire planes that you can visit in either mode (the difficulties there are the same as the difficulties with getting a separate off-site battle map up in fort mode, pretty much, and we'll probably handle them at once, in the distant future).

If you don't know what the Hidden Fun Stuff is... don't worry about it.

Just repeating what's at the top of the page, but read the development plans (both versions). Most of what's planned is in there. You'll have a much deeper appreciation of what's going on and where the game is heading.

Regarding planes, read 'Cado's magical journey' and the analysis at the end.
Threetoes stories are the base of what Dwarf Fortress is trying to be. Each is followed by an analysis of what Dwarf Fortress needs to be able to randomly come up with such a story.

Planes are part of the next big update (If it all gets done at once). Watch the Mythgen video and you'll see it comes up with other realms of existence and hell equivalents.
