I dreamed of the new version!
« on: February 20, 2010, 09:36:18 am »
First we sent a dog into the underground space using the new tunnel things. It managed to kill one of the floating gas creatures mentioned in the devlog, but got killed by some breath weapon from a second such creature. Then my crossbowdwarf killed it with a single bolt. I tried to watch the combat log, but couldn't find how.
Then we moved in and built our fortress. I remember seeing a surface brook going underground, and thought that we could use it as our water source. Some ice on the surface melted, releasing some ice-based creatures sealed within. I hoped they don't go near my entrance.
I completed my magma trap at the entrance, and was dropping goblins into it when creatures (probably trolls) attacked from underground. I sent my military after them, but civilians were getting in the way, standing their ground like soldiers instead of running away. That was when I woke up.
Anyone else dreaming of stuff? ;D

I dreamt that  [building destroyer: 2] was suddenly able to destroy all kinds of constructions, such as walls and floors. So a titanic glob of vomit in a round shell (I was reading the list of changes before going to bed) laid my entire fortress to waste.

I also had a dream of the new version. In it, Toady hired me as one of his new coders, showed me all the cool shit that was going in, and then we travelled to Ireland using an old galleon, went to some festival and used lasers to shoot evil people.

I had a nightmare where I went to the site and there was an announcement that Dwarf Fortress was canceled. All the download links were gone. Then an error happened that wiped my hard drive. Then I thought "But this computer is brand new!" Then I woke up.

I had some dream about the new version once, it was something realy weird with breaking into an underground cave and being overwheled by gremlins and vomit, and then it crashed. The details are a bit... blurry.

Also, I broke the thing in diablous' sig the phrase 'I eat calculators with mayonaise and later I vomit telephones.' I consider it as winning!

I had a very brief moment in a dream where I was playing DF with my mind, and then something happened to the computer. I think the next thing that happened was a big shape or something started rolling away from my and I decided I had to get on top of it because I needed to win a race or something.

My dreams are weird.

Last night I dreamed that Johnny Depp started hitting a woman at a restaurant after screaming "What do you mean you don't want to fuck me? I'M JOHNNY DEPP!", I stabbed him in the eye with a fork.

This should be a power goal for a future version

Urist likes his magma just like his women. Hot and leaving you with a horrible burning sensation.

and got- Magma Urist women like him. Please. Spa me please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please do not get a terrible burning sensation.

It does that. If please appears it gets repeated over and over. Some quirk of translating it into japanese and back again.

I had a very bizarre dream about the new version, though it did not seem anything like DF.  I was playing as goblins, it had 3d graphics, some kind of strange touch interface, and there was an option to make cars and biplanes.  One grain of truth: I'd been playing it non-stop since it was released, and woke up after realizing I had an hour to do a week's worth of homework.

Tried translation party using: I have four hundred drills to pierce the heavens!

It became:

I have to train 400 to penetrate the heavens!

I need 400 to break into the sky train!

I have to break into the 400 must Skytrain!

I need a break of 400 Skytrain need!

I need a break of 400 needed for the skytrain!

I break 400, you will be required for the Skytrain!

I was, you needed 400 to break the Skytrain!
