Hypothetical: DF is in 3D. What does it look like?
« on: June 15, 2011, 11:50:19 pm »

Every couple of months a new project pops up tasking itself with recreating DF in 3D, whether its a new game inspired by it or a direct interface to it. A couple of friends and I had a discussion over the weekend on just how we'd all personally envision DF looking like in 3D if it were to simply pop into existence. It turned out to be a pretty interesting discussion and so I'm going to ask it here to see what people come up with.
Feel free to post screenshots of existing games as direct inspiration. My two favorite looks come from two games in a similar genre -
ANNO 1404 - I love the detail, both zoomed in and out, of this game. Its even more amazing when you see it in action.
3D Dot Game Heroes - I just like this art style. Its simple and I think its a nice homage to DFs original graphical prowess (That is to say, none). I would however give the look a darker mood and tone. I'm also not sure how well it'd work if you were to zoom out.

If I had to hazard a guess, probably something like this.
