What will this look like?  I know Toady takes ideas from us as well as himself so it's always a work in progress, but at what point will he just put down his laptop and say, "I'm done!"

Most programmers would look at this game in it's current form and call it v1.00.  I can only imagine a game so complex, you'd need a quantum computer to play it.  Which is pretty kickass for a game without bump mapping and shaders

When DF 1.00 is released it will be a super-intelligent self-learning, growing AI/universe simulation program that ultimately enslaves humanity as part of its world generation process.

DF will be skynet.

[Rafal99]

From what i know DF will become v1.0 when Toady completes all that stuff (and probably a lot more, because new ideas come every day).

Also Toady already have plans what to do after v1.0: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_future.html

Much like Cartman's TrapperKeeper. Fear the future.

Nah, with this development speed, I guess that IF DF will ever hit v1.00 [let's hope so  ], it probably won't happen before ~2015.
Just take a look at the v1.00 items, and compare it to those items, what have been implemented in the last years so far.

No, he was referring to the fact that the world might end in 2012, thus, when DF is finished, the world shall end.

That's OK, we'll generate a new one with the same seed.

Dawrf Fort v1.00 will be so intelligent that it will create its own dwarf fortress game, makes you wonder....are we just a dwarf fortress....

[DanielLC]

v1.00 will be the version with 100 core components. This is not the point where he puts down his laptop and says "I'm done". It's unlikely he will ever finish the game per se. He will stop programming it when he either decides that there are better things to do or the game has collapsed under its own weight and is too hard to maintain. Hopefully, he will release the source when this happens, so the game will never suffer the catastrophe of being complete.

This is going in my signature. Now.

[scribbler]

Wooo! I'm a sig! 

So the real question is which features he feels are necessary to complete before 1 and more immediately, which will trigger the beta?

Ah heh, the Mayan calendar theory... What a bullshit. It's something like the "Tupac lives - 7 day theory".
