Int'l players want to express their gratitude
« on: September 19, 2006, 12:11:00 pm »

I never imagined being able to find the excitment, the true joy of playing since a long time. Ultima is fading away, Wizardy 1 is still slowly pulsing but Dwarf Fortress just resurected it all!

Since my awaited PC upgrade to a blazing piece of engineering mechanic, I contemplate the Oblivions and Preys boxes on my desk without any emotion. Installed one of them, enjoyed the fluidity and got back to Dwarf Fortress.

To keep it short:
- Thank you
- Please continue
- Your rock
- Don't include (too much --aaargh) mouse support
- Don't include "improved graphics"

Please continue to do what you do like no one ever has ever done: pure gameplay (and depth).

Actually, I really liked the new-found mouse support, its very easy to get used to, and saves quite a lot of time and hassle (even if you remember every single key in every single menu)
Otherwise - yep, I agree  :)

But what do I know?
Everything I say should be taken with atleast 1 tsp. of salt, and another liter of Dwarven Wine is recommended.

I've always liked mouse support, and there is nothing wrong with it in text games, i just dissaprove of the graphical cursor.

A text mouse should be a white block. none of this hi-res arrow junk.

Gotta chip in and express more love for the mouse. Even in its current state, it's so damn useful. I really can't see what there is to complain about.

But yeah, keep at it Toady! It's gotten to the point where even checking for updates is addictive. I don't think I've ever seen such a frequently updated game, and I'm surprised how much the frequent updates keep my interest up in the game.

Mouse rocks. Graphics would rock. It's cool that everything is about gameplay and not bells and whistles, but being able to distinguish things easier should be high on some list.

I only use the mouse when removing designations, what is the new feature that got added?  Something about workshops?  As long as the keyboard and mappings are supported, mouse usage is optional  :)  But if it were more useful, I'd use it.

I use the mouse for wide-area designations...  not for the actual designation, but to move the screen quickly.  Hit 'enter' at the start point, right-click to zoom quickly, hit 'enter' at the end point.  Much faster than moving one square at a time.
