Toady you and your knobgobblers are literally retarded if you dont think Dwarf Fortress needs a REAL UI.

[FuzzyDoom]

Yes please.

[Footkerchief]

Why don't you edit the useless inflammatory crap out of the OP, so we have at least a 1% chance of productive discussion.

Also, in case you care, I already posted this in the Interface Overhaul thread.

Judging by the fact that it's Booterti's first post, I smell troll or advertising.

Not that I don't think DF could use some UI fixes though.

Hi!

How dare you. I'm sorry, but if you can't figure out a few easy keystrokes, you're the one that's "literally retarded"

They're here from SA.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Figures. I haven't been on SA since 03.

[Wakawoot]

Figures. I haven't been on SA since 03.

Yup. You've sure moved up in the world. Now you post twice a day on a forum for Dorf fort.

Well, there was 4chan and not having to pay lol5bux every time you said something that lodged itself up the coolkids clubs' collective anus at SA.

The crowd's more fun here. Except for Sankis and Starkravingmad, and DR too.

EDIT: Oh hai SomethingAwful visitors, nice DF thread you got going there. :3

It's BYOOTIFUL. How do I get my DF to do this plz. I might actually start playing again. 

[orbcontrolled]

Eh, it's good to have some trolling once in a while, keeps people on their toes. Everybody here is soft, presumably from a year of no updates, and consequently not much to discuss.

Unfortunately I actually can't think of much to say regarding that video. It would be excellent if we had that kind of thing in DF, but the community is so divided over it, and Toady's time/willingness so limited that I can't see us doing more then gazing longingly at it from a distance.
Like poor children staring through a department store window at all the beautiful things they will never have.

It's also true that Toady doesn't really care what the community suggest should be in the game, and that he would rather use his own ideas. But, an easier and more accessible interface I think is way more different than wanting another "cool" feature, and is something that really should be a high priority. When people say that the interface we have now is fine, besides the military screen, it doesn't really help their cause. You see, the interface besides military seem ok to us only because we've had it for a long time, and in reality the military screen is just as bad as the rest of it. I mean, with a better interface and/or UI could make more people see what's so great about DF, minus watching/reading a bunch of tutorials and possible losing interest, and hey more people means more money for Toady!

[Tilla]

I've seen better DF interface concepts here :/

[jeffb]

but the community is so divided over it

Divided between what? A working interface and ... ?

[Karnewarrior]

I actually love the interface. After you get used to it, it's actually pretty flowing.

It works. UI and graphics should be last on Toadys list. Well, save for the new military screen. I've been rendered incapable of using my military.
