Week #10: Dwarf Fortress
Links:Â http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
So I just played dwarf fortress for about half an hour and lets just say the world creation process already had me lost confused and it seems very in depth which is good I guess if that's your thing it took me 6 minutes to even start actually playing the game and all i can say was I didn't think I could be more lost but this game proved it was possible. A few minutes later im now honestly at the stage of giving up, there is so much crap on my screen, honestly stumped i have 0 clue on what's going on. The music is already annoying me. Apparently a snow storm has come??? I've now only played for 11 minutes and I'm giving up. In dwarf fortressâ final breath it crashed my PC when i tried to close itâŚ. Well that was a trip and a half. First of all, I'm sure this game has a lot of potential to be fun but the horrific UI and ridiculous amount of menus confused me and killed all desire to play, controls made me want to die i had a list of controls and i was still confused. The music also sucked. I may at some point in my life pick this back up and try again if they ever make the game easier to understand. If i downloaded a graphics mod it might honestly make it much more playable especially if the UI design was a bit more player friendly, the game is supposed to be getting a release at some point on steam so I may give it a try and see how it handles.
