Now that we have a way to handle injuries better I want to see more sources of injuries. Dwarves working the forge should have a 1% chance of shattering their fingers from a bad hammer strike.

I support this idea. Workshop accidents should be rare but exist. It would also provide some practise for the doctors.

 Right now DF is something of a zen experience - if a game is awesome but nobody can play it, does it really matter?

de5me7 enters martial trance, infinite anticipation of dwarf fortress.

p.s. i predict 6 years until DF 1.0

[yarr]

that damn list is not getting any greener

DF 1.0 is a myth made by our ancestors. DF is an entity constantly evolving. It will never reach 1.0

I think to play df 1.0.0.0 we will enter a Holodeck to get a damn Screen projected which still shows ascii or at wish a Mayday-tileset made from SVG files.

[Sean Mirrsen]

An interesting note is that there will never actually be a DF 1.0.0.0. There'll be a DF 100.xxx.xxx.xxx, denoting how many secondary goals have been completed in addition to the 100 core ones.

I donno, I don't really look forward to seeing my soon-to-be-legendary Armorsmith getting eviscerated by some clumsy scrub. On the other hand: Blood Transfusions for the Blood God, Skull Fractures for the Skull Throne!

[Shoku]

Oh god, what an unfortunate accident that has happened here because of Urist's clumsy insertion techniques.

...
girth?

Release on April 11^th, my birthday. Less than 2 months.

My own clone!

Now neither of us will be virgins.

Try again, looking at the version number. It goes to 1.(1?)00.###.###a
It's explicitly stated that it's "hundreds digit of cores"

    <N>.<Core>.<Req>.<Bloat><letter>, where N is all but the last two digits of the number of Core items completed (leaving us with version 1 when I finish all these up).

As hard as it is to wait so long for the next release, I am confident that DF will not wind up like DNF (Duke Nukem Forever).  But there is something about those initials....

[CobaltKobold]

they also stand for Did Not Finish, yes.

[Innominate]

I keep thinking that he must be so close, but, like Zeno's paradox, he never reaches the end of the dev.

P1: DF is an aeon away from completion.
P2: If we take one second from the remaining time, DF is still an aeon away from completion.
C: Therefore DF will always be an aeon away from completion.

I know, it's not a true syllogism, but it's a reformulation of Zeno's "paradox", so sue me.

(Please don't sue me )

Ah. Right you are. Still, no "1.0.0.0".
