The Bay 12 Games Report, August 1st, 2020Mission Status
Are you an animal? If so if you are in Dwarf Fortress you are done! With all the beastly sprites completed, the first UI screens, long teased, will be distributed to the internet. Odds are, the internet will break. You are the reason for this magnitude. Imagine a DF without the need to memorize confusing key combinations and atavistic menu screens. Dwarf Fortress and its intricacies can finally be judged on their own merits, no longer seen only through the prism of terrible interfaces.
You have carried our standard this far, through pain and strife. Just a little longer and everything will find its resting place in the Vault of Heaven.

Fun with Numbers
Thanks to everybody that helped out in July! We'll be able to release our first look at where the interface is currently headed this month, and we're continuing to work through the main screen update. Though there are 60+ screens (with various subscreens and modes), the main screen is by far the most involved, of course, and there will be many stages to the process. With designations (mostly) done, we're currently looking at updating building construction and reports/announcements, but the focus could change as our interface artwork comes together, so we'll leave the particulars for the dev log as usual.
July: $10578.03
June: $10560.49
May: $9921.44
April: $12380.70
March: $10052.21
