Dwarf Fortress got notified on IntroVersion blog/forums with following statement:

"I was thinking about older games like Dungeon Keeper, and newer indie stuff like Dwarf Fortress, and they don’t bother with any complex geometry – they restrict the whole game world to squares, and do everything on a grid. It’s like drawing on graph paper, and every square can be empty or it could be a wall, or water, whatever. Initially this might seem extremely limiting, but both of those games manage to exhibit lots of possibilities to the player and don’t feel particularly restrained because of their grid like nature. I decided to run with this concept for a while and threw together a simple graph-paper prototype in a few hours."

Yay, more publicity!

Dwarf Fortress has firmly implanted itself in the minds of basically everyone now. I think if Toady stopped working on it now, the ensuing world-wide tantrum chain would end the human race, hehe.

Interesting post, as well.
