DWARVES!
« on: July 21, 2011, 11:08:23 am »

Sorry if its not appropriate to post this here, but I'm a little over-excited. I'm sure you'll all understand.

The Hobbit production video

My only complaint is that Thorin looks way too young. If I'm not mistaken, he's the oldest of them, right?

Cool thanks, I totally forgot to check the Hobbit recently.  Dwarves are going to have big two or two or three years thanks to this movie.

I kind of know what you mean about Thorin's age, but the actor did seem to have more.. gravitas than the other dwarves, and seemed generally more serious and darker, and that seems right to me.

It's great to finally see concrete evidence of it being worked on. Cheers for posting.

Nice one :)

There's one song I think of as a theme to Dwarf Fortress and it's a Rhapsody of Fire song called the Village of Dwarves.

I'm making a game called "Innkeep!", where you run an inn set in a low-fantasy world and try to lighten your guests pockets. Forum topic here.

James Nesbitt as one of Thorin's 13? That's either a stroke of insane genuis or just insane. Still, it'll make a change from the old cliche of Scottish-accented dwarves.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

I'm looking forward to this movie. Very much so indeed.
