World maps
« on: October 03, 2012, 12:52:17 pm »
DF makes pretty nice worlds.

So I've been working on a couple composite-things using my 8x8 tileset, but they aren't done at all so instead, I made this cool gif!



That's only 200 years out of 1050, though...

You all do know that we everytime we gen a world in DF, a new universe is created somewhere, and everytime we delete a save we kill a whole world?
Aye, we are Armok, god of blood, evil, villager gutting, fortress building, legend making and elf thongs.

It's fun seeing all those settlements pop up on the coasts and the rivers. Little islands of activity...

I like the goblin fort in the arctic that emerges and promptly disintegrates.

I'm only so so at map reading.  What's the mu symbol that the Goblin fortress crumbles into?  What does it represent?  Ruins?

Dug too deep, struck the candy spire and an endless horde of Dwarves poured through?

I would really like to know how you made that .gif, as I would like to try it out. Also, you should slow it down a bit. It just whirs by over and over.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

There's a free gif-animator called UnFREEZ. It works really well. Getting the screenshots, I just used Legends Mode and GIMP (for the gif frames).

If you don't know, GIMP can create animated gifs on its own, using the layers of the image as the frames.

I might totally just make one of a fort. It'd be a one-z-level fort. Or I'll make a .gif of every layer I'm on. Because I like my traps and labyrinths. I'd take caps every season so you can see the exponential explosion when the migrants decide to roll around.

You do mean literal explosions of migrants, right?
