Meh, I'll worry about spending CPU cycles on graphics when we get the pathfinding down to more reasonable consumption.

Personally I prefer the flat types of surfaces when playing ASCII art games.

Oh, Tower.  I played that for a month or so, a couple of years ago.  It wasn't balanced, and it wasn't deep.  Very much a dungeon-crawl type roguelike.

I remember hanging out on one level so long that a shopkeeper died of starvation.  And the shop logic was a bit buggy -- even though he was dead, he would still offer to buy items.

Not a bad little game.  A bit too ambitious, and the only thing it offered that other games didn't was the 3-D graphical view.

Na, ASCII plus 3Dwarf on the side for 3d viewing is good enough for me.

Doesn't look great in my opinion.

I mod games and educate others how to do so as well, if you'd like to learn join my Discord and you can join a bunch of like minded individuals. (Presently modding Space Engineers and No Man's Sky.)

Looking into modding DF? This forum guide & wiki guide may still be a good start!

Actually, that sounds pretty entertaining.
