Best DF-story so far! That's how this game was intended to play, IMHO.

Welcome new person, leave your morals at the door and throw your soul into that can. Or just sell it, I dont care.

For once, I am speechless. We are witnessing a true legend in our time. Hats off to Sethatos; I cannot imagine the patience you must have to play this.

Found this on the wiki a couple hours ago and hot damn.

Is your FPS still 9 or is it chugging even harder?

Please, take a moment of silence for all the venerable old threads rendered unintelligible by the Great Photobucket Dickification of 2017. So much was lost.

I think from the latest screenshots it's about 5FPS, modern computers just cannot handle this much awesomeness.

I think that only Toady's Holy Computer can run DF properly

FPS depends on where you're looking. If it's on a static floor down in hell it's 9. If it's on the tree farm it's around 5. During large goblin sieges it can be as low as 3, but I'm so used to it now I think I would feel regular fps was way too fast.

A true DF player. 5 FPS is normal and 60 is ultra high and unplayable XD

Haha, I like having time to react to the announcements. Here's the FPS difference depending on screens:

Thanks! Glad to have you on board.

Also, the main floor in Hell is nearing completion. Still more work to do on the prisons, the living quarters and a few touch ups for the Temple to Armok.

There is grass growing from the top of the tower?

and, oh god, that's beautiful, i can imagine it illuminating hell by day,

and the lava from hell or the purple glow from the pits illuminating the forest by night. just imagining a dragon passing by at night and seeing:

An evil forest, with a weird and menacing cloud making sure no living thing other than trees will survive here and in the middle a giant glass tower, emanating a purple light like a beacon, mocking of everything and inviting enemies to certain death, it's the clouds that emanate the light? the flying beast thinks. But with a closer look it realizes that it's way worse.
