Squamous

Playing AI Limit. Fascinated by the protagonist. Literal-minded and utterly clueless beyond human comprehension. Canonically does not know what dirt is. Will summon you into the stronghold of your enemies because, like, you said you were hunting them right? What a specimen.

The reason all the spheres are listed is to maximize the odds of it joining a civ. Also, the description is in progress. But overall it is working nicely.

(upcoming content) this thing is twice the size of a giant sperm whale and is also a respectable member of congress. It also fights equally gigantic monsters. The only reason it won't be wearing armor is because at this scale DF clothing sizing logic breaks down completely. But otherwise it would.

Our debut title, sword action shooting game BIRDCAGE, is out now! Shoot, slash and weave through bullets and enemies in this challenging, story-driven arcade shooter!🕊️🥚

It is 3 in the morning and I have gotten custom night creatures to work. You know dwarf fortress eye of snodub and such I have gotten it so that when someone conquers your village they will SOMA(tm) you so bad and turn your copied ego into a gigantic murder robot. You'll also be able to be one.

Descriptions do exist in dwarf fortress but I like the player being able to get a rough idea of something just in a name, without the name being so verbose it runs off the screen. My eternal struggle.

ASCII is at once incredibly freeing creatively and offers up entirely new constraints in that you must convey one has encountered a hippopotamus-sized spider made of flesh and machinery equipped with a missile battery with only a single glyph and a short taxonomic classification.

The compliment is appreciated. I do think I have an eye for general design at least, in the sense i can accurately convey the vision.

I have been known to dabble in pixels from time to time. My posing is atrocious, proportions questionable, I don't know how to shade at all but I feel like this does an ok job of approaching Long Night aesthetics, at least for one particular faction or another. Others might be blockier or pointy.

OSR: Beyond the Western Desert (or OD&D with Appendix N-1) The conceit of my current OD&D game is "OD&D without context". What weird mutant offshoot of the tree of RPG development will we create if...

What can you infer about OD&D if you ignore its actual influences?

I should probably nerf firing speeds

Working on procedurally generating every domestic animal for my mod. i've finally gotten the core system working. Difficulty and price calculators for all creatures have been added too, everything will dynamically gain those values as they are generated. Should add a lot more variety between civs.

I've said it earlier but it really was a pleasure to be here, and the mods were really cool too!

Scheming about the options the siege update will give me. Hoping for tanks and artillery, will settle for letting my already extant mechs punch through walls.

The stream went great! Thank you to Kitfox for having me. If you would like to hear me yap about all the cool mods the vod is up

The mod jam livestream will be on the 29th at 2 pm. This is my first time doing any sort of major public speaking role so I'm at once terrified and very excited. It's an honor to be there though so I hope I'll make a decent commentator.

I'm torn between posting more about progress updates and not, remembering that talking about something can feel the same as doing it and so speaking as if it is done saps your motivation. But also engagement is nice, so if people have questions about DF or my work I'm open to answering them here.

I'm continuing my dark deeds. Did you know the maximum amount of castes (subtypes) that can be contained within a single dwarf fortress creature is 32,767? That's a considerable amount of variants and yet I am already hitting the quadruple digits. Lua is great for this. I used to do it by hand.

extremely good noitalike but instead of wands you create immense ridiculous contraptions and you are some kind of robot maid

If you're at all interested give it a shot, its easier than you think to mod this game and fun too.

the text also goes hard for this one

random old timey caricaturists and satirists are out there dreaming up monsters that ttrpg manuals wish they could think up and they are all just metaphors for like societal ills and such. Put these guys in a statblock please and thank you.

As long as you can describe it in writing and study the wiki, you can create an absurd amount of stuff. It's so underrated in how accessible it is and I would like more people to become aware of that. If you decide to participate, then have fun!

If you're at all interested then I promise you, dwarf fortress modding is easier than you think! Obviously the new lua stuff and the graphics have added a new layer of complexity, but you don't need either of those to make something cool.

Just look at my sample creature you can check out.

I don't really know the review-to-time math to determine if what I'm saying is true but this game feels insanely underrated. I'm having a great time with it. Smooth gameplay and a drip-fed story that is delivered comprehensibly. Also the art is really good.

First bugfix for the Long Night is out, and honestly its not as bad as I expected. Still more to come ofc but this feels like a decently stable point. I may be speaking to early of course but still! Promising.
