So, some time in the future (hopefully the distant future) there will be one final official update before Toady either gets sick of coding the game and moves on to something else (hopefully something even more awesome) or dies.

What do you think it will be like?

[KillerClowns]

Some freakishly skinny guy in a blank-faced mask has been staring into my window.  It's really disturbing, so I'm going to go tell him to bother someone else before I get back to coding.

OR

Lighting's implemented, though not without bugs.  Some human, let's call him Jack, decided he didn't like stubbing his toe on all the boulders lying around and had picked up a candle.  Jack wandered right into a booze stockpile, though, and that ended about as well as you'd exp

Dwarf Fortress v1.00.00a will be able to think and grow organically, and self replicate, and spread, to consume the entire Earth.

Dude, what? Booze shouldn't be quite that volatile. Even if he was walking around with an open candle, Jack would have been able to smell the alcohol from miles away if it was concentrated enough in the air to igni

It has a control scheme SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLICATED then ruling a small universe. Thus, df becomes a controllable pocket dimension. WE BECOME GODS BECAUSE DF.

Even with a candle, jack must be blind to not notice the boo










Ha, I shot him. No more of that nonsense with CJ!

[nbonaparte]

hmm, time to test that.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if v1.0 is the first version he releases as open-source.

And isn't the whole Candlejack meme getting a little stale now? Bet he doesn't have [TRAPAVOID] anyway.

Oh, I get it.  It's all a clever way of saying that the game will remain forever unfinished.  See?  Clever.

I knew I could count on the Dwarf Fortress forum.

Nah, look up "candlejack". Some old meme from a cartoon show or something.

Who now has a gaping hole through his face.

Now, "black mage", he's a different sto

[Mel_Vixen]

"Candyman " is an old horrorflick.

anyway the devlog could look like this:

"Time slows now down for fast moving objects hehehe. I got into a argument with a philosopher dwarf in adv mode because of that. Turns out they discovered Relativity. Damn i need more restrictions on this ai. Made some additions to the Dna-constructing toolset for modders. "

Would you like me to link you to a page on sarcasm, or are you all set?

[ungulateman]

the trick to saying Jack's name is to praise him in the act.

For exampe:

"Candle jack, hes a pretty cool guy, interrupts people's sentences and doesn't afraid of anythi-"

[Encased in burning magma]

Okay, my cold feels better. There was a weird guy with a hood and a scythe, but he wandered into a cage trap. I should be back to coding by tomorrow.
