With Adventure mode updated DF should qualify to run for Ascii Dreams Roguelike of the Year 2010! Last year DF wasn't even on the list. I hope after the new release it'll change.
Any thoughts?

[Rumrusher]

wait it won 2007, and got runner up in 2008, toady hasn't even added any new adventure settings with out glassing most of the features so better luck in 1011?

[Flaede]

Yeahno. Currently there are no shops. Temples. Ruins. Or clothes.

By 2011 we'll have those back, plus better quest structure and rewards, adventurer-created sites, MINOTAURS IN MAZES and goodness knows what all else. So I'm thinking making that list in 2011 will be easy, but currently not a chance.

But the release with minotaurs will come up soon. It just might make Adventure Mode playable enough, don't you think?

[Untelligent]

That release will be coming in less than a week or two, (assuming all goes well), not in 2011. A little late in the year, but still a candidate for Best of 2010.

Today's dev log sounds better than most roguelikes I've played. Maybe DF for RL of 2010? I don't see why not.

It already wasn't nominated 999 years ago, and time isn't cyclical, so that's right out.

Yes, but even once this stuff starts coming out, it will be quite a while until most of it works. I'm going with 2011 too, there's no way Adventurer mode will have enough in two months to make it.

Tread light there. For most of the stuff he does have a good idea what he'll do once he gets around to it, but, as he admitted in the last Dwarf Fortress talk, some of it will be on there almost perpetually.

..and so it's 2011. With the features already implemented DF leaves any Roguelike game far far behind. Soon we will have Vampires, warewolves, Necromancers and armies of zombies. With the new release, DF should get that title!

[Rumrusher]

No dwarf civ, no elves civs, no goblin civs only Human towns and all he added is more Human towns features.
Unless the next patch comes out and adds back the different race town sites better not start talking about Roguelike of year.
not only that the peasants don't have families or history.

Most of the roguelikes have only a random generated dungeon. And DF is a work in progress - it shouldn't even be in these lists at all. But keep being bitter this way. Complaining about something in DF is all the cool dudes are doing nowadays.

that's what I'm talking about it's a good game of 2007 that being updated. This is would be having tf2 win best FPS of the year for 4 years now. Though this was a bump of an old thread.

[Yoink]

...ADOM's Terinyo is somehow more detailed than one of those DF human hamlets?!
Apart from  the various annoying, cliched fantasy types who spew magic at you, I'd say not.

Disclaimer: I love ADOM, just sayin' is all.

[Montague]

Naw.

Maybe 40d or even 23a during their glory days, since they were basically "complete". Too much important stuff is missing or incomplete from the current version to even really qualify as a candidate, atm.

Give it a year or two and DF will probably win Rougelike of the Year untill the end of time.

[Rumrusher]

so was DF renominated for 2011 or how does that work?
do the creator enter his work or does some random shmoe does it?

Well, wasn't that guy an optimist.
