YOUTUBE TRAILER

Matul Remrit is a dwarf fortress tale that combines Stonesense, artwork, writing, and music to illustrate a run through the game. Each update is from the perspective of a different in-game dwarf, and it's written in a style that replicates the stilted "translated" feel of the in-game text. The story adheres closely to in-game events, except in cases of flavor writing (such as social interactions between the dwarves). It's been running on SomethingAwful for about a year now.

I've seen a few links here before, but I figure I'd give it its own thread for those who haven't seen it yet. A few forumers here contributed to it, such as Deon (contributed custom sprites) and Japa and the Stonesense crew (helpfully fielded questions I had about Stonesense). The website banner (the pixel mule) was designed by Chariot, who generously gave permission to use it.

Some of the media places we've been featured:
KOTAKU - NITROBEARD - BEEFJACK - COMICS ALLIANCE - AFTER ACTION REPORTER - DIGITAL HUMANITIES SPECIALIST - POLYGAMIA - ROCK PAPER SHOTGUN - TIGSOURCE

Hope you enjoy it

Matul Remrit is great, I eagerly await each update. I love each aspect of your work. Can't wait for another video!

Holy Carp that was amazing! *Jaw drops open in sheer epicness bestowed in front of him...*

Just read the whole thing. That was great. I like the broken English and dwarfy slang - it makes it so that some interpreting is required and it ends up feeling like reading another language.

I loved the Sherrif XD

    Mule is cunning. Told it of the refreshing ale in the prisoner room but it does not leave the food hall to consume. Must beware.

Bravemule menaces with spikes of psychosis and awesome.

Definitely one of the most original LPs out there. Its writing fits with the theme and style of DF, and I think it's well worth the effort

Also, the production values!

[Bohandas]

awesome

[Gatleos]

"gone"

Too bad, I can no longer see the Something Awfull thread without registration, there were some explanations of what was happening in game terms.

[lordnincompoop]

Very well done.

_{The Kotaku guys clearly have o idea what they're talking about.}

I know OP has plugged the other current SA DF succession game, Gemclod, before and it can't currently be accessed without registration, but I really like if only because it wound up becoming "Dwarf Fortress: The Musical".

I'd link directly to the songs, but I don't know if that would be okay with the songsmith.

[Taeraresh]

Wonderfully done. I think this is my favorite line so far, though.

This bile is for the dreg that encrusted our beds with sharp gems. The sharp gems are a hideous pattern. You the gemsetter do not got talent for color or arrangement.
