Dwarf fortress has a 3d viewer built in, but it still uses ascii to display it in XNA effects.

Better: The game should make full use of your system's graphics capacity to render the game's original ASCII icons in glorious 3D, complete with shadows & other ray-tracing.

And shit loads of lens flare!

Creatures' and items' ASCII characters are scaled linearly according to size; ticks are nearly invisible and a giant elephant should cover most of your screen (going outside of the game window itself, if needed). Also an alternative to multi-tile creatures.

While multi-scale would be hard to do for that, what would be more workable would be to just spawn a copy of DF for every creature. For example, a specific dwarf would have a version of DF running that modeled their entire body as 3D tiles, with blood cells and parasites etc all being modeled.

Any in-depth healthcare work such as surgery opens this as a minigame as well

Remove Plump helmets.

[delphonso]

Remove fortresses.

[Reelya]

And dwarves.

Dwarves is ableist, and fortress is sexist since it's clearly the feminine form of "fort", so it's about the (by default) male dwarves ruling over the feminine fortress, thus male entitlement to the female physical form. So we need a new PC name from the 0.50 iteration onwards. Person Fort.

Fortit

[Egan_BW]

Fordik

[Starver]

For(t) Chann(eller).

[King Zultan]

Lets just drop fort from the name entirely and replace it with just the word dwarf so it'll appeal to the people who like things to be minimalist.
