Is Dwarf mode gonna be isometric or Ground Control style interface (Scroll wheel for elevation mouse to edges of the screen for looking around)?

Is adventuure mode FPS style like Stranded and Stranded 2?

[Capntastic]

Adventure mode becoming an FPS would be the least making-sense thing ever.

bien: I originally had you pegged as a troll, but came to think maybe you just normally acted that way. Based on this and your music post however, I'm beginning to think my original assessment of you as a troll was correct.

But is it 3D? So my friend will stop whining about it being "squiggly lines"

[Gaulgath]

No, it's never going to be 3D, and I hope that it stays 2D ASCII. Forever. It just gives the game amazing style and stuff.

[Funkadelic Jive Turkey]

Maybe if you donate several tens of millions of dollars to bay12 then Toady will make it 3d.

[PNB]

Give Toady 2 millions dollars, and yes, you get some graphics.

[Devastator]

Yup.  You get the same graphics you have now.

[TerminatorII]

Oooo I can see it already!

"Hey what is that Giant E bouncing toward my Dwarf over the rolling hills?"

"Egad! It's an Elephant!"

(Giant 3d ASCII) LOL!

<NOT>

omg that made me laugh!! Loved it!

[Asehujiko]

First we need to get the game to work properly, then we can start worrying about graphics.

[Slartibartfast]

With one exception:
Being able to choose the amount of tiles displayed!

I really don't mind the ASCII, what I really do mind is the mind bending 80x25.

Please Toady! If you can hear me, allow user specified amounts of tiles!*

*-I'm guessing this is probably a problem, since all sorts of display elements probably use hardcoded values and rely on them to work right. But its an important change nonetheless :O

[KrunkSplein]

I agree wholeheartedly with Slartibartfast.  That is my only problem with the game whatsoever.

LOL. Oh man... just... man. Sooo funny.

I can see how one can make the jump from the introduction of a z axis to the assumption that it will be full 3d, but man, you have to ignore everything else you know to do so.

[Lokum]

If graphics was a problem then go tell them to play something else.
