-Toady has created the artifact "Dwarf Fortress"-

basicly is my thoughts

I think he can sit back and enjoy that he made the best builders sim ever.

Art isnt appreciated until long after the artists time y'know.

Dunno if this is still relevant because I sorta skimmed a few... dozen... hundred posts... so I'll try and fail to keep it short.

The interface is bad now, but just as we're soon to enjoy the Military Arc, there is (from what I read thusfar) a planned "interface arc", a major huge revamp of everything to make it nice and easy to use. So I see all arguments along the line of "too hard to play for most people" as completely and utterly pointless. It's still in alpha, these are things we deal with until they can be addressed properly. Until then, the legos will be a little disorganized.

Don't forget, Toady has said the "Arcs" won't be done in a single go, they'll most likely be split up and parts of them handled along with parts of other arcs.

On topic, I'm a professional software developer and I'm in awe of what Toady is doing / will attempt to do. That is all.
