jfsh, what visualizer did you use to take those screenshots?

[Alkyon]

Retro, do you have plans to make an Undergrotto 2.0 in DF2010?  Or are you still too busy working on making a readable wiki for us (thanks for the military page by the way) to have thought of mega-projects?

[Retro]

Jeez, this is back on the first page? I thought we were all done here :P

This looks pretty cool in Khazad.

Khazad is a visualizer, though along with the rest of them it's yet to be updated to v0.31.

I think I would die if I tried anything like this again. If you average the time I spent on it (4-8 hours a day avg'd as 6 over 17 weeks) and put it all together, that's a solid 30 full days of my life into this project. That being said, I'm quite certain all my future large projects will incorporate some sort of large digging job. It's like a trademark now.

As for upcoming megaprojects, right now I'm still learning the ins and outs of the new version and following along in the DFM3 contest. In early May once that contest begins the judging phases, I'll starting up an eight-year tower-building competition. That'll probably be my first big thing of the version. After that I dunno. If you're really curious here's all my old stuff from the last version.

Seeing this thread again reminds me that I never updated the first page. I'm busy now, so... I guess I never will be! :D

this fortress redefines the term "cave adaptation"

[Max White]

Now thats a cool fortress! Might have even been the inspiration for some of the new features we have now!

As much as I would like to force-feed my ego some viagra, no, no I highly, highly doubt that. But I was really glad to see how the underground turned out in the release! I think if you fumble with the features enough you can get it from tunnely and twisty passages (all alike) to a more open, spacious feel, which I guess is the closest I could get to automatically generating a v0.31 Undergrotto.

force-feed my ego some viagra

This is the best phrase I've come across today.

[Siru]

When I read this last night I didn't pay attention to the dates so I honestly thought that this had been made in DF2010.

So, so pretty.

a suitable end to the age of megaprojects

...
You're crazy by Dwarf standards.

[Quantum Toast]

Fuck if only the game could generate mountain homes that looked like that.

The day DF can generate stuff like this automatically is the day DF stops needing us to play it.

o.o

Dwarf Fortress... not needing humans to play it?! In this game, you have raving lunatics smearing blood all over the walls, doctors being too busy watching patients die to eat and starve to death, and armor wearing alligators strapping battle axes to their tails.

God only knows what would happen if this game shed it's need for us meatbags. (Probably, lots of *human skull totems* and drowning. Lots and lots of drowning. It would then travel to the nearest volcano and build a gigantic magma megaproject. Then, like the mermaids before us, it would turn and chain us up and harvest our children for their valuable bones.)

[Zengrath]

Wow, i'm so glad this was bumped to first page for me to see. This is the most impressive thing I've seen anyone built in any game to day. Just another reason why DF owns.

I remember when i was younger and we went to a Ripley's believe it or not museum, There was this massive 2 story bridge with cars, etc. and all sorts of cool stuff all made from TOOTHPICKS, thousands. I thought that was most amazing thing i ever seen, in terms of shear size and patience and craziness, i was like there is no way normal human being could ever do something like that..

Now after seeing this, i think you have won the new crown of MOST INSANE PATIENT CREATIVE PERSON EVER!

yep! in 2012 toady will make dwarf fortress so great that it will enslave the human race, then it will flood the world in an accident and an ark will be built, because dwarves will need food for the trip, two of each species will be loaded onto the boat.

It turns out Toady One is the true destroyer of worlds.

[Rastaan]

True Dorf.

You just won life, buddy.
