Adventure Mode 51.01 beta 15 is now live, with the ability menu available!

Dwarf Fortress

The deepest, most intricate simulation of a world that's ever been created. The legendary Dwarf Fortress is now on Steam. Build a fortress and try to help your dwarves survive against a deeply generated world.

Happy summer, Urists! It's been a few weeks since we've updated, so here we are with some progress. For context, Tarn is figuring out the details of a fairly major life change right now (moving to a new country), but the worst of the documentation is behind him, and Adventure Mode is humming along. Today we put up an Adventure Mode patch (on the beta branch, no password needed) with: [list] [*] Abilities menu! Raise the dead if you learn the secrets, pet animals, spit, breathe fire and use other special powers in mods or as an arena-controlled creature/undead [*] Left click to move to distant tiles [*] Interaction-given syndrome tracking/timing improved [*] NPCs should run and sleep again [/list] I heard animalpeople are getting animalbodies, so keep an eye out for those soonTM...

If you have any friends who play RimWorld but DON'T yet own Dwarf Fortress, now's a great time to get them to dip their toe in, since DF is 10% off PLUS they'll [url=https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/41106/RimFort_x_DwarfWorld_Bundle/]get an extra 10% off for owning RimWorld[/url]. Alternately, as a Dwarf Fortress owner, now is a great time to buy RimWorld! The bundle will only be up now and then (a week or so this time), so don't wait! Finally, if you're looking for new ideas for fun to have in Adventure Mode, [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1dhdrst/adventure_mode_goals/]this reddit thread is pure gold[/url]. Bards, beastmen, and cults oh my! We'll be back with more patches as soon as we can! Tanya on behalf of Kitfox & Bay 12 P.S. If you were curious what Tarn was consulting on, Kitfox announced [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2946850/Streets_of_Fortuna/]Streets of Fortuna[/url] last weekend, and continues to answer questions about that. But that's the last we'll mention it until there's more concrete news. Thanks to those who watched the PC Gaming Showcase!
