And the demo of the Spore demo(Screw you, EA) comes out in nine days.  It's like Christmas is coming early!</STRONG>

I concur!
And we shall bask in its splendour!

[thvaz]

I bet on a release in next saturday.

[Deon]

I desire to have this release too, but I don't mind to wait one more month to get more cool features.

And ability to make world maps... WUSSAAH!! HURRAAY! Now I can make Middle-earth map for my ME mod =))))).

Go ahead wait another two months before releasing.  I don't mind.

[Cthulhu]

Why would he wait two months to release something that's going to be done within a week(KNOCK ON SO MUCH WOOD)?  That's madness.

[Armok]

There is only ONE way to describe the coming release:
Beyond Quality.

[Neonivek]

I still and forever believe that "Beyond Quality" is a pun.

1) It means that everything is so great that it is beyond quality
and
2) It means that everything is so terrible that quality is beyond it.
-Supported by the fact that it is written out MS Paint Style... and I just realised that putting it as #2 is also a pun.

Mind you that as a pun it is said as a joke.

So saying that the next release of Dwarf Fortress is "Beyond Quality" KINDA says both meanings and I am curious to how #2 comes into this.

When was the last time that the "world names" section was updated? I can only have so many Dimensions of Myth, Planets of Prophecy, and Portentous Realms.  

[Cthulhu]

LOL WUT

How did you do that Dwarf Head?  Was that an amazing coincidence, or can you define the locations of regions now?

Madness?

!!THIS IS DWARF FORTRESS!!

Alright, I'm sorry...

[Neonivek]

Will this DAMNED movie reference EVER END!!!

It wasn't even that great a scene in the movie anyhow... Especially with EVERY commercial saying it constantly.

Wow I am in a bad mood... I am going to have a heaping glass of XXDwarven MilkXX it is in tatters, like my soul.

Read the dev.log if you're curious:

you can now define all the basic fields as giant grids in the world parameter text file. If I find time, I'll add a mouse-painty thing for it. </STRONG>

This is cool. I don't see why doesn't anyone speak of it. Now we can make our own custom maps! Custom map competition anyone?!

And if I get it right and we can specify locations for every entity... We can have a pocket world with 10+ entities to simulate a desired plot!!!

I didn't expect an update, so I hadn't checked the page.

The goblins on that map seem to have shot themselves in the foot. If those two goblins happen to be the same gender, they would be the last goblins on the face of the dwarf planet.

[Gaulgath]

Wow. Imagine my suprise when I found that Toady had updated the devlog today. Now  imagine it when I found out that we could sculpt our own worlds! This release gets better by the day, it seems!

Actually I wasn't aware that that it was a movie reference. Looking at it... 300? Excuse me, since I haven't seen the movie. I was too busy reading the devlog to be bothered. Some things in life are just important.
