Shrubland which tapers to the edge of an old forest with thick undergrowth. Could be anything in there. I love ascii. Don't even see the tiles anymore.

In that case good luck! But if there's anything that's definitely my fault, do report it.

The big Long Night update is finally out on steam! Lots of new stuff from procgen domestic animals to a completely overhauled tripartite "magic" system complete with type affinities for posthumans. I hope it is enjoyable.

I recommend reading the manga MAD. Its kind of like if Fire Punch was about xenomorphs, but I'm underselling it.

I know the "proper" thing to do would be to wait to announce it until it is good and polished but man I've been dyingggg these past few months with how long it took and i want to prove it was, in fact, spent making something so here it is buyer beware its fucked in here

DFFD - File: Dwarf Fortress: The Long Night 7.0

The latest iteration of my mod is now available on DFFD! It shall remain there for stress testing until it goes to Steam proper and is largely feral and poorly documented outside of the changelog but most things should be explained diagetically

I would describe it as a mix of armored core and EDF, with the hammiest dialogue you have ever heard. Janky but I enjoyed it. Hoping the sequel improves on stuff like being to upgrade NPC units and make bigger battles a thing.

So this is a bit of a shot in the dark but my own research has led me down so many contradictory paths I do not know where to start and i know there's a ton of gamedevvy people here so;

Where do I find professional soundtracks for a project? Are there specific websites or is it just networking?

Valhalla knights and its sequel. Looking back I understand why it got mixed reviews but I liked it at the time. I have never heard anyone talk about it.

It wasn't really my intent for this to blow up so much but the way everything was interconnected makes just one huge update the best bet. I just gotta get it out there.

Finishing up the year with some good news; entering the final stretch of development for a big update I'm planning. It started out just implementing procgen animals but I've gone and developed a magic system so its just a matter of filling that out and getting the creatures to play nice with it.

1. I am getting my hacking mechanics to work in lua procgen
2. !uite pleased at how seemingly comprehensible this scene is via text alone. Even if you don't know the abbreviations (mdm, spnt) you can read a lot from the announcements.

Coming to the grim realization i can procedurally generate the ground to have statistically significant gameplay differences and so I have to do that now.

If you are wondering why this is a big deal btw look at my last post. This hugely improves readability.
