Runic DF - Why Oh Why Would I Do This?
« on: May 09, 2010, 01:14:47 am »



That's right. I made a runic tileset to slow down my reading wildly. It's 8x12.

The runes are Britannian Runes from the Ultima Series.

Makes a few changes to certain accented characters, for example ù is now the thorn, Þ. Includes modified language files to account for this, and other minor changes.

Download, if you're that sadistic:

This is totally awesome, utterly useless and incredibly unhelpful.

I applaud you sir. You are truly Dwarven.

Spiffy, and way dwarfy.  Nicely done.

Thanks :D
The best thing about it is that it's the result (or possibly the cause) of me not sleeping tonight - currently 7:30am.

It's like a challenge mode for DF.
