ive been playing this game since 2011 when i was in middle school and im still coming back to it. im sinking hours into it after work while my puppy sleeps next to my desk and my gf is working evening shift. its such a cozy game and reminds me of when i spent all day after school playing MC and other games w friends. its not just nostalgia tho, its just such a cute game that can be whatever the player wants. after all this time, i still derive so much joy from exploring a new world, building a sprawling estate, spelunking, and even just mining. even tho MC doesnt track ur hours played, im certain its my most played game
just wanted to share that i love this game
Of course, but he basically just ripped off other projects (dwarf fortress, infiniminer) and coded poorly, and a great deal of his work has been gutted and replaced over the years.

Oh god... They were always just "haha, teleporting block guy" to me. I have now come to a dark realization.
First person dwarf fortress or dungeon keeper-like dwarf fortress sounds like it would be awesome.
Also more awesome would be a dwarf fortress AI engine that plays the game for you but allows you to make the changes you think would be more interesting (like maybe giving you the chance to decide layout beforehand if you so wished).
