The best April Fools joke this year

The new version of Dwarf Fortress, after more than a year of delays with seemingly no end in sight, was released on April Fools.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

It took me quite a while to realise it wasn't a trick. It's for real!


So, who here plays this game? It is fantastic.

That game makes my eyes bleed.

I've installed it, and it looks incredibly complex.

Eh, I cudgeled Mayday's graphics set into working and I've been dicking around with the raws. Wish I could get material breaths working properly instead of pelting the enemy with venomous ice cubes.

It's less awesome than it sounds.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

Then I'm staying with the last version.
Which doesn't work on my machine.
Damn.

The new version is pretty buggy, as one would expect. Apparently some people have had problems with dwarves melting whenever it rains.

One of the biggest new additions is the underground features. Before, you just had chasms, bottomless pits, and underground rivers... And you were lucky if you could find a decent spot with more than one of these.

Now the underground goes down incredibly deep, and features entire layers of stuff, everywhere. Giant underground seas, underground mushroom forests, seas of magma, and so forth. You'll find these features anywhere you embark. Exciting!

Duel at sunrise, The winner keeps the name Dan.
The loser gets the name "Pumpkin"

Shall I wait for the other Dan to wack me in the face with a glove to challenge me to a duel first or should I get my imaginary six shooter and walk out in the middle of the dusty cow town street clothed with a mexican poncho wearing a flat brim Clint Eastwood Hat and face him and say "Get off My Lawn".

I can't wait for the day schools get the money they need, and the military has to hold bake sales to afford bombs.

The game sounds interesting but the graphics seem to be designed to be as horrible on the eyes as possible.
Text based graphics is no excuse, I've played plenty of ascii type games that don't look anything like as awful as this
