Personally I'm quite fond of sprites for characters as in the older Elder Scrolls and Doom games.

Is that a pair of wild wagons frolicking in the plains?

[Poldon]

Probably Water Buffalo, but wagons are likely going to need something more than a single tile sprite come to think of it.

Uh, never mind the water buffalo, what about the werebeast?

I've just finished watching videos of Armok Vision on YouTube.  Gush, I literally dropped tears from my eyes. Love you, guys.

hi, im quite new to the game, but i love your project!
theres only a few things that could be bugging me:
- stones, even polished dont reflect like glass
- how do the sprites work and what about the current tileset/graphicpacks? (i use "obsidian")
- does this work with good fps on old machines?

[Rose]

- stones, even polished dont reflect like glass

This is true.
However, right now I'm concentrating more on making everything work. fine tuning materials can be done by later, unless you want to try messing with them yourself. I can give more details on how to do it if you need.

- how do the sprites work and what about the current tileset/graphicpacks? (i use "obsidian")

Right now, the sprites are using a built-in ascii tileset scaled up from one found on the wiki. Later, more customization will be available, but Armok Vision will never care what tileset you use in DF beyond which ascii character the creatures are set to in the raws.

- does this work with good fps on old machines?

There's a lot of performance improvements to be done, but I get about 40 fps on a mid-range PC, with a GTX 560 GPU.

i only wanted to see if the textures will be subject to changes later.
for sprites, there are a lot of 2D isometric view games like Baldur's gate etc which show that lovely animated sprites don't need to be very expensive in terms of FPS.

i'm using a celeron 64bit e3400 2x2600MHz, 3GB DDR3, geforce 9800 GTX (512MB VRAM)

I'd love for you to test it out and see how it runs.

[Pvt. Pirate]

i'll try it first thing after having a cup of coffee tomorrow morning (damn, should've written that 20 minutes ago, because now that would mean right now, if i already drank a cup of coffee right now, but i havent, so no, later, after sleeping).
i downloaded the program and will see later.
the game still needs a GUI that actually works a lot more intuitive (eg not 5 different ways of selecting things and giving orders.)
i seriously don't understand why my last fortress ran out of booze - maybe the seed-stockpile-barrel-problem, but my next fortress will not fall due to that!

I've started a patreon page!
