DF German Forums
« on: January 24, 2012, 10:26:01 am »
I just stumbled across this site today...

http://indiegameforum.de/forumdisplay.php?3-Dwarf-Fortress

Looks like DF has quite a few fans in German. Hallo!

I'm learning German at the moment, and this looks like it will provide me with lots of enjoyable reading. ^^

I'm making a game called "Innkeep!", where you run an inn set in a low-fantasy world and try to lighten your guests pockets. Forum topic here.

I think DF has fans in every country and language :D

I have created the Forum about one year ago, it is also accessable over http://www.dwarffortressforum.de.
Since then, the interest of the users has extended to common indie games and so i have extended the forum to an indiegameforum ;).

Makes sense, seeing as Dwarves are from Germanic mythology :P.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

One of the first friends I made through the Bay12 forums is German, so it's not that surprising. I'd assume DF fans would be more or less all over the world!
As a footnote, I'm also interested in learning German, and almost a year of talking to em's taught me "pflanzen".

And to think this is all before Toady put in language support.

I still can barely imagine playing a game where I can't read the vast majority of what is going on. Even IF modders could rename monsters and their bodyparts and items.

You know.. there is a myth that if you try really hard, it is possible to learn a new language! personally i think this is just esoteric and parascientific bullshit but who knows..  ;)

English is a mandatory thing in German schools only the higher echelons need a 3rd language.

Btw. Dwarfes are a part of the Indo-german mytholgy thus they are at home in Europe as whole not just single countries.

Little boy? Hey no need to be rude.
I am German. How many languages I speak fluently? That's none of your business.  ;)
Most people I know are able to speak english very fluently, in fact that's no big deal here in Germany.

Dwarves come in varieties of races, and I've never ended up with viking dorfs or scottish dorfs :(
