OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

"When it's finished"

Sorry, does it show that I followed the likes of John Romero for far too long?

I like fortresses because they are still underground.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Why are you worried about adding more features to a game so astoundingly complex and varietal?

We should be fixing the game-halting bugs and improving the interface.

Yeah, the pauses between releases can be from a day (when it's a quickfix) to a year (when it's a lot of new mechanics and features like additions of caverns and totally new underground mechanics).

I think this one should be in the middle, from two to six months.

I really hope you're wrong on this guess, Deon :'(

It will arrive when it feels it must, for Dwarf Fortress isn't a game, it's a force of nature.

You know, if toady starts working with talented modders like deon, the next update will arrive much faster. Just saiyan.

There has been some talented people that have come and gone which could have made for a nice core development team. Even if it were raw work only, but it's just not the way that toady rolls. I know we all hang out for new content and it can drive us batty at times, it's all part of what makes this is Dwarf Fortress!

I think I too have a man crush on Deon. That mod is awesome.

He should be the one to mod in health care in adventure mode.
