These guys are the kind we need more of. Dwarf Fortress is very much a labor of love and well worth the price on Steam. They have over 20 years of development put into it and even though the steam version got a fresh coat of paint, the text mode version is still free.

Anyone curious about Dwarf Fortress should check out Kruggsmash on Youtube. He has been making Dwarf Fortress videos for years and really does a good job of revealing the stories that evolve during gameplay.

The text version isn't just still free. It's free and getting active updates. It actually got a significant number of updates and bug fixes that came along with the Steam version being released. These dudes are legends.

Wow, really? Might give it another whirl then, it was still a bit rough cut when I played it back in the Boatmurdered era.

If that's the last time you looked at Dwarf Fortress, it's wildly different now.

In my opinion, much better.
