If you're impatient for the release of a working stable program, then WHY IN THE HELL are you playing Dwarf Fortress?!

...Seriously. I doubt I'll live to see v1.0.

I'm not sure Toady will. 

My hope is that if/when the project is cancelled, be it if Toady decides he's had enough and wants to move on or otherwise no longer feels it's a valuable source of income, that the project itself will become open source. I'd like to see it live on even when Toady isn't the driver behind the innovation.

I'd like to see it branched as opensource right now and live in parallel with Toady One's work

Call me splitter:)

It would ruin it I think. We'd have one version which ran multiple times faster and was practically bug free and another version with all the new changes by Toady. It would make choosing which to play annoying.

Not being of the programming ilk myself I actually appreciate Toady playing it close to his chest. Alpha version is immensely playable, and the artistic vision is what drives that. It's still a baby program, but it's damn mature for it's age. A bearded, beer drinking baby (gratuitous dwarf reference apology).

I wouldn't be able to contribute much more than a RAW edit or bug report even if it was open source. I say let Toady run with it as long as possible to bring it as close to the original vision as it can be. Then release it to the wider community and see it polished to perfection.

I'm willing to wait.
I'm betting it'll be worth it.

I'd love to see Toady finish it some day. I'd very much like to see the donations rise to a point where it would be possible for him to work on it full time, and have a decent income. Really, I think that donation driven projects like DF is a business model that potentially delivers the best games at the best prices, and I think DF is an excellent case in point.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.

as if we hadn't this scenario with 40d19.2 vs 0.31.x

anyway, it was meant as joke

I think he does do this full time.

I'm running DF 0.31.03 on Linux under Wine.  It works well, so I was trying to run Dwarf Therapist 0.5.0 with the latest .ini file.  I also edited the game.ini file too.  It looks like Dwarf Therapist connects up to the game, but none of the text is visible for the dwarfs names, the menu bar, buttons, etc.  I've got the Microsoft fonts installed into Wine, and no other app has ever given me problems.  Take a look at the image and if anyone has any ideas let me know.  Thanks!

Thanks! Had to update Wine to the latest development release and that fixed it.

My god, please, please PLEASE Tell me there is a version, ANY version which works with the 40d19_2 release? I am already halfway a fort, just got 20 dwarves and it's already too much for me to handle!

STRESS!

T_T Then I'll really have to wait for a stable v30. Still great work on the mod, and I'm happy to see my ticket integrated into the 50.1 version

Weird. I remember using DT with 40d20.

Try searching this thread. Someone may have posted the info you need for 40d19_2

Fck do you think 2010 is unstable?!
I'm playing third fort already and find only one important bug, and it's already removed by second patch (that 31.02).
