A Dwarf Fortress MS Paint-Style game!
« on: December 29, 2010, 07:38:33 pm »

So yeah, basically you have a character like you would create in DF and everything you do you paint into a MS Paint map. For example if you start building a house you "draw" the outline of such a house into the current map. (Zoom and Grid are really helpful at that^^)
A normal "standard" house should be arround 15 pixels huge, a character 3
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You might say now: But wait!
Theres nothing but some ground!
Exactly thats it.
A turn would look like for example this:
Character: xxx
Action: Digging a mineshaft and searching for iron
You do 1 turn a day and exactly in that frequency the map is updatet.


Character sheet:
Name:
Gender:
Race:
Job/Position:
Skills: (Max of 5 skills and 10 skillpoints, they can be from DF or randomly created, altough only "limited" magic please [No big firestorms or sth like that])
Backstory: (Not needed)

Example, my character:
Name: Reithan
Gender: Male
Race: Dwarf
Job/Position: Overseer
Skills:
Architecture - 3
Mining - 3
Hunting -2
Fishing -2
