So, there are some screenshots on the development page...
« on: May 01, 2011, 11:16:48 am »

Holy effin' shit. That stuff looks absolutely amazing. If it's really gonna be stuffed with evil beasties than it's basically just like the caverns except better looking, more fun and more easily accessible. I think I'm gonna find a nice room in the sewers underneath the capital city and make it into my secret hideout where I shall stuff all the treasure I loot.

Hmm.. Here are my ideas of what is what.
First pic = Catacombs (huge rooms, smooth design etc)
Second pic = Sewers (much water flow)
Third pic = Dungeons (confusing layout, and many tunnels)

May be wrong but that's my general view  :P

Hmm, I remember - in one of the earlier development updates - Toady said there could be a great potential for fun if the humans forget to grate off their sewer access. I can see it now...Me and my band of companions venturing through the sewers to kill some monster that's supposedly hiding there according to local urban myths when some stupid lamprey or surgeon or something attacks me from the water and I drown. Hey, at least we can have real life (umm...real virtual?) sewer gators.

I hope there's loot.

Of course, it probably wouldn't fit a kobold. Still, I look forward to getting lost in somewhere that isn't a cave!

I can even have a drowning death!

I'm very impressed with the layouts of these areas. They look amazing.

Maybe one day zombies will be able to escape into the city and we will see cities overrun with the undead.

He says they can pass on their curse. Ye think that means adventurers too?

The main site is not working for me again, I hope it fixes itself soon.  :'( (It does this from time to time)
I hope that the towns wonth be meatgrinders thanks to monsters spawning under them...

Perhaps the towns will be better suited to dealing with the monstrosities.

Or perhaps they're only one urist-lever away from being lunch.

Actually, it seems that they mix. The water flow parts are sewers, and everything else is dungeons or catacombs. With all the shops at cities it seems like we'll be having more traditional roguelike adventures with dungeon crawling in a hub city.

I totally dislike a lot of pointless rooms. Also there are tons of stairs down and just a few (if any) stairs up, which means that those rooms are not basements of houses but some random rooms without purpose...

That rant aside, it's a great addition to the game :).

Even though the layouts of the dungeons/catacombs are very random I DO think these empty rooms will have some "purpose" to them. In the final version I bet there will, at the very least, be some coffins, chains and various other items strewn about - hinting at their former functions as jails/tombs/whatever.

Do basements/cellars of the houses above feature in the catacombs beneath? I really hope so, that'd be great.
Imagine, the city's chief brewer attempts to widen his cellar a little, as business is good, and accidentally opens up a cave leading to some ancient, long-forgotten sewer network beneath town.
