I consider it an essential part of Dwaf Fortress, and can't play without it.

I use it for pretty screenshots, but otherwise don't use it during play.

So. Hairstyles.

Poor Caldfir,  he finally had those spritesheets configured, and then Japa  finds even more individual information.

Nah, great job, Japa.

In the meantime... I have hardware woes, but that'll be fixed once I have the time.

[EmeraldWind]

You guys are awesome.

[Rose]

Beards!

[Jiri Petru]

Seeing all those clothes on the ground... couldn't we use the clothes Caldfir drew for his dwarves as separate sprites for items on the ground as well? Perhaps rotate them a bit bot otherwise they should be fine.

Give it time, give it time.

Certainly doable, though.

Yeah that's been on the menu for a while now, but other stuff keeps coming up that seems more important.  I am unfortunately glacially slow at drawing this stuff.

That's because you draw it really well.

You cannot hurry art.

Technically, you can but... most people won't like the outcome.

Caldfir, you can take as much time as you want in my book. If it wasn't for you, Stonesense wouldn't have the hi-res stuff right now anyway.
And you're working on non-art stuff too. So... I don't think you have any reason to feel like you're not being completely awesome.

Spoiler: Experimenting with a different direction with the ramps. thoughts? (click to show/hide)

[WillowLuman]

Maybe for engraved ramps

[Rose]

Er, did I say ramps? I meant tracks.

Those are tracks.

[WillowLuman]

Looks kind of like a floral pattern to me, but I'm assuming it's representing every track tile as an omnidirectional switch station?

[Caldfir]

Yeah I think Japa is working on the all-directions tracks first (since those are the most complicated) before moving on to the others. 

They look pretty good I think.  The grooves look a bit wide, but that depends on what the carts look like.  Plus there's the question of making things look visible when zoomed out. 

Overall I prefer the grooves-style because it better matches what the dwarves are supposed to be doing (carving tracks, not laying them), but the metal-style tracks looked neat as well.  The only issue with carved tracks is that they might look strange in some situations where tracks have been constructed out over empty space, but that's a bit of a corner-case. 

[Rose]

Actually, tracks absolutely cannot be placed in empty space. they are a floor type.
