I'm super hyped. Not only do I want to play adventure mode, but so many things are so much easier to test in the if you can directly control people in the arena/adventurers. It makes mod development and bug fixing so much easier!

Finally! Excellent work Toady and Threetoe, and Putnam et al.

Adventure mode is and has always been my favorite part of Dwarf Fortress, and to see the most interesting crpg since Nethack now will have mouse support?! Very exciting prospect. I am excited to see screenshots explode across the site of heroes, battles, dungeons, and humble cottages!

I hope that Weird West mod is remade in the far future. And Masterwork. But those are quests for another time, hehe.

Can't wait for this release !
So, what are the usual challenges you do when you create a new world of aventure ?
In general I do
-> Join all the summits of the world (highest mountains).
-> Visit the library of the world.
-> Kill a dragon
-> Visit all my fortresses

What do you think of ?

Not sure if dying of old age is an honor or a shame for weaponmasters. On the one hand, it means they never got the opportunity to die in glorious battle. On the other hand, it means nothing could beat them in glorious battle.

Quick question about the beta: does adventure mode work in an existing world gen?

It should do; you can embark into any valid world.

It worked for me on my existing world.

I'm out of batteries now, but it went surprisingly smooth all things considered. Hacked some ghouls to bits, got cursed by a dice roll for my efforts.

Just tried it out briefly, but ASCII mode was quite messed up and there wasn't 100% keyboard control as promised. Character creation (except choosing difficulty) and navigating status menus still requires a mouse, not to mention that there's no look button so you need to hover over with the mouse cursor.

Also, the ASCII view was in the left upper corner and not centralized, which cut out the left and upper parts of line-of-sight. Not going to try the graphics version, so I'll have to wait until ASCII is fixed and there's actual 100% keyboard control.

The hotkeys are (mostly?) the same, which I really appreciated (especially z for status).

It's good to hear that progress is being made toward keyboard-only play  :)
