Animation! Praise the Miners!
« on: May 08, 2012, 05:00:29 am »
Don't know if anybody has seen this one yet, but it defiantly need to be see!
All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of animation.

3D effects so old, it actually fits in with Dwarf Fortress's ASCII graphics.

This pure mountain spring water is indispensable. Literally. I'm out of paper cups.

The Giant Moles in the caverns of my current fort breed like crazy, even while regularly being decimated by other beasts entering them...

I like how the dorfs are all clean and well groomed and all.

And then did ARMOK say, the east is the holiest of directions, and thou shouldst not stand there lest thou be strucketh down by my holiest of beards. And then did the dorfs did say, we shall build from the west, for more do we fear the beard of ARMOK than the strike of the elephant.

The creator has already posted this in Creative Projects sub-forum. It's a pretty cool animation.

At first i thought it was amateur, just a crappy slide show of images

Then i turned my volume up and saw that it was moving and holy shit. I love it. My only criticism is that the parts that clip away to the deamons could be better though i cant really offer any ideas on how. The dwarves look awesome.

I love how it mirrors the orginal animation from the intro.

The Dwarf hacking away into the "blue" of candy, breaking into a "secret chamber at the base of them ountain" seeing what is beyond with a "HURH!" before death.

Nice touch usign the orginal sound effect too.

Ask not what the Dwarfs can do for you...
But ask.... why are they drunk all the time?

Wearing more than one item of clothing ANY item that isn't covered in blood, vomit and FB extract? Not Dwarf Fortress =P

Edit: seriously though, that's pretty cool.

That should be a new type of project, making a rug design in dwarf fortress (With accurate coloring)
"And so, after many deaths and much sacrifice, someone turned their fortress into a fully functioning self aware carpet that actively sought after sources of fresh blood."

I for one, feel that a great deal of potential has been wasted in not seeing a horde of demons turn the dwarfs into chunky salsa

Very nice, though I must say I still prefer this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1kBedai-rk&feature=related

Oooh, I just watched it again and noticed the Bronzemurder cameo!

Dwarf Fortress -- kind of like Minecraft, but for people who hate themselves.

Personally I don't miss the gore.  Like the intro (or DF), it suggests something horrible and lets us picture it ourselves.

Edit: And yeah, the one in the reply above me is really great too!  When I saw the thread title I thought it was a repost of that.

Doubleedit: And now I know there are english subtitles.  Yesss.
