There didn't seem to be much to that article. It just spends a few paragraphs assuring the viewer that while DF may be "ugly" (compared to other ASCII games, or what?) it's really fun... but it doesn't go into much detail about anything. Then it just ends by linking someone else's video.

The video itself, on the other hand...

I liked the tentacle demon at the end.

I thought it was a forgotten beast

As for booze, there was a barrel.

The dwarves lazing around seemed un-DF like. 
I liked "gone" the best.
Though the creature was pretty darn cool too.

Well,

Hell is full of purple light and below the magma sea, so it was probably a demon.

"Gone" just depressed me...

Oh mine's full of red light
and as for gone, it was so dorfy

Speaking of that thing at the end,

*Starts to watch video*
*Notices layer of microcline*

I've been playing this game too much not even nearly enough.


*Finishes watching video*
Wow, that artist realy captured well what it means to be a dwarf.

That's the moat.

I'm the creator of Matul. thanks for the positive response, everyone just noticed this thread.

[squeakyReaper]

You, and everyone at the bravemule website, have done a great service to the Dwarf Fortress community.  Thank you.

I'd be rather glad if graphic sets didn't exist.
They are, so to speak, the cancer that is killing DF. Not external display utilities, those are fine, but graphic sets are just full on evil.

I'd wager that attitude is more cancerous to DF than tile sets ever could be.

See, some people just can't stand ASCII and bear with the silliness that comes with having a tileset/graphics pack like berries for gender symbols. However, if you're going the elitist approach here you'll have to take into consideration not everyone has your taste. There's nothing wrong with graphics sets or tilesets.


Back on topic, Matul is great, and so is the video!

[SolarShado]

awesome vid
i'd love to have the source image that was being panned across; i'm sure there's plenty of way to crop it into epic wallapaper

I'm going to do this when I have a little bit of free time (holidays + media response to Matul = busy busy busy oh god)

here's some other matul-fueled DF articles I liked that have come out so far:

Oh, bandcamp. This keeps getting more awesome

[SalmonGod]

That interview was awesome.

[Musashi]

Gee, sorry for not being hardcore or imaginative enough and not want to deal with ASCII.

On topic, whoa. Just whoa. And the "missing sign" for the cat alone is several levels of awesome.

[Bloogonis]

Hey Im hardcore and imaginative enough to deal with the ascii, and I love the work the people who make tilesets put into them and suport them in their efforts. three cheers for the hard work of tile artists!

also story rocks! aperintly everything not a dwarf, livestock, or pet is an elf?
