...So, who's up for a succession fortress?

[cowofdoom78963]

Too bad it's going to be buggy and will probably crash or something.

[Jackrabbit]

Worth it.

I know same for me,  unless I could do an anthropology report on dwarves ....
hmmm  well down the road there are definitely some I could do but this one requires live participants

anthropology of cyberspace.
communitites not grouned in physical space but rather spontaneously occuring around a uniting factor.

like this forum. note not everyone here actually even plays DF. There are taboos, social mores, a functioning heirarchy (and a rather egalitarian one if you ask me), shared culture of stories that are actually more similar to oral storytelling, but are written (new type of storytelling? twist on an old one?)

hmmm... you also have an economy, of sorts: NEW CONTENT!
 Running Games, image packs, mods, utilities

there are social services and we help our own, there's the actual fundraising

this place is (like many forums) ripe for an anthropological study, but this one could expand farther to encompass the DF phenomenon in the Real World and talk abotu this virtual community coming into realspace.

ok. enough. I'm sure an Anthro student can catch the thread if they were so interested.

Yeeesss! I kinda stopped playing when I figured the next release was coming real soon... and then it didn't. And I decided, 'well it's too late now. It will be out in just a little bit'. And it never came. I am so glad there's at least a ballpark, and such a soon ballpark as well!

I stopped playing back around Christmas when it felt like the release was gonna be any day now, but about two weeks ago I got my vigour back and have been running 3x3 fortresses on what I believe is the smallest device in the world capable of playing DF, an UMID mbook 1 from Korea, it's about the size of an NDS

Should have thought about that earlier and bought a proper computer.

Some of us did go buy a proper computer (or a proper operating system anyway).

We get to wait

Dont forget....WINE for Linux and Boot Camp for Apple.....although that does require a copy of windows.....where there is a will there is a way....hit google up hardcore and use this week til the release to find a solution! no point in not liking that whole deal (and I dont blame you) and not trying to find a solution....course the later releases will be less buggy....so i guess think of it as windows users getting a beta key of sorts....but id imagine by not much more than a week! there is hope!

[Captain Mayday]

Toady, presumably the RAWs are complete now. Would it be possible for modders to get their hands on these now?

Nice.
We need a build that runs 2x2 fortresses (or smaller  ) on a 66MHz ARM9E-S with less than 4MiB of memory.

Isn't that something like trying to fit a grand piano into the carry-on luggage test container at the airport by sawing off the legs and hoping it fits now?

[Mel_Vixen]

heh a optimized 2d df should work. call it df-retro and its ful of win XD.

yea, i'd like to get these before the release too.
