The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. The default (and minimum) gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. While Tilesets work the same as previous versions, Graphics Sets will have to be redone as the raws have changed. They can significantly change the appearance of the game and make it easier for players to tell what is happening onscreen. They usually come with and are designed to work together with certain tilesets.

[a-shrieking-cloud-of-bats]

in general with dwarf fortress premium I think it’s good but there’s some admittedly concerning issues with the UI that somehow slipped by

having to click through construction materials one at a time and a lack of an option to pause and recenter on important events seem like pretty big things to miss, even considering that they were perhaps expecting less experienced players

but other then that the new tileset is great (though it is just a tileset; people just getting into DF need to be aware that they didn’t like layer a graphics engine on top of DF, it’s still tile based and has no animation, though the tiles also aren’t like 8x8 so visibility is Vastly improved) and the UI is a vast improvement and I think most of my woes with it are just not being familiar with it so that’s about as good as it can get; I don’t think it’ll like Replace Dwarf Therapist but if you don’t want to launch another program every time you start DF (like I don’t) this works well enough and might even have some convenience improvements over dwarf therapist at larger numbers of dwarves, though DT will probably always have the monopoly on sheer fine grain control

I could see this cracking open DF for a lot of people and that was ultimately the goal, though I hope there’s some cleanup on the UI moving forward, as there are some minor issues that might end up making doing any sort of mass building a pain in the butt, which would be quite a shame at best and an active and significant detriment to mega-projects at worst

Must Play Games In 2022

What other list, towards the end of November, could be better than a list of incredible games you absolutely must play?

With the release of new games, the gaming industry has expanded and improved this year. One of the intriguing updates was EA Sports' and Marvel's partnership to create action-adventure video games.

In addition to this, many theme/seasonal games have also been published, such as games for the fall, winter, Christmas, and even the Halloween holiday were not forgotten as there are horror games to make the Halloween celebration more frightening!

Must play games in 2022

These games were much anticipated and received amazing reviews from the gaming community when they were launched in 2022 at various periods. Not sharing our top video games from this year would be a bummer. Amazingly, they might rank among the best in 2023.

Overwatch 2:

Overwatch 2 is a 2022 first-person shooter that Blizzard Entertainment initially plans to release on October 4th, 2022. The game, a follow-up to the 2016 hero shooter Overwatch, aims to create a cooperative environment for persistent player-versus-player modes while maintaining a shared arena for player-versus-player modes. The switch from six to five team members was a significant change in PvP modes.

2. The Outlast Trials:

Although a specific release date has not been confirmed, it’s going to be available this year. This game comes with new updates that make it more fun. With companions, you can experience the dread of being pursued by sledgehammer-wielding brutes in The Outlast Trials. Instead of examining a hospital this time, the Murkoff Corporation is using you and your friends as test subjects for various experiments. Oh, and forget about carrying about a camcorder for night vision; instead, the guys at Murkoff have surgically implanted night vision goggles within your head.

3. Dwarf Fortress Steam:

Steam has confirmed the release of Dwarf Fortress after 20 years and it is one game to add to your wishlist. The main game option includes taking a small group of dwarves and making a home for them in the harsh wilderness. A fresh collection of pixel art tilesets and mouse capability are included in the new implementation. In order to lessen the game's severe learning pattern, there is also a basic tutorial, an encyclopedia, a complete soundtrack, ambient sounds, and other quality enhancements.

4. The Callisto Protocol: 

The Callisto Protocol, a sci-fi horror game, is one of the most eagerly anticipated games to be released in December and is scheduled for release on December 2. You have to avoid being mauled by an alien in this single-player survival game. Sounds intriguing! It will be accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox.

5. Need for Speed Unbound:

Wow, there are so many games to choose from and so much to look forward to. I'm hoping this list has increased your excitement to play these games.

It’s the weekly (not weekly) post telling you to play games I enjoy aggressively:

Dwarf Fortress: 

That “Impossible to approach” ascii game (that doesn’t have to be ascii, there are tilesets and image packs, but I’ve stuck to ascii thus far).

I’ll put it to you this way, skip if anything makes you go “Actually nah”.

Do you enjoy base building games? what with figuring out defenses, managing your units, crafting exactly what you want?

How about open-ended ones where the goal is up to you? Do you strive for a military strong enough to conquer the goblin death pits? Maybe you see the jerkwad elves asking to trade while belittling what Dwarvenkind can accomplish and you decide it’s time to burn down their woodlands? Maybe you just want to have the best library with the most creative scholars, or a tavern the size of six football fields that people from all ends of the world come to visit?

Maybe you want to see what happens when you dig into a volcano despite the many warnings of hot stones?

Beekeeping? Animal raising? Booze? Crafts? Archery? Traps galore? Hunt monsters? Forbidden Beasts? Drop lava on things? Get drunk?

Anything really. Well if you enjoy or want to try that then you can download right now for free (link is the name of the game above^^)

If you enjoy that but feel apprehensive you can watch this 30 min crash course and (speak from experience here) you’ll be fine (LINK).

If you enjoy that but feel apprehensive yada yada and want to see this with graphics then give the forums a visit because things like this exist: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126076

Newb packs often come with tilesets and graphics pre-installed for experiences more like this: 

(THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE FUTURE PAID STEAM VERSION, GRAPHICS LIKE THIS EXIST BUT JUST POINTING OUT THIS IS THE FUTURE CURRENTLY UNRELEASED VERSION ETC)

Anyway, that’s a good game, should probably mention another so- next.

Toukiden 2: 

You know Monster Hunter?

Of course you do, you have good tastes and you’re really cool and I hear you’re popular.

Well, Toukiden in my opinion is what would happen is monhun was pushed like 35% further towards single play rather than coop play.

What I mean is, if Monster Hunter put that much more effort into the single player story (not an A+ but certainly pushes away from Monster Hunter’s C- story structure) and the developers designed the game to give you a full experience from that solo play instead of “Coop or it’s bland”.

I really love Toukiden 2, I grabbed it on GC Positive’s video’s praise (Seriously go watch this because GC makes phenomenal videos and it will say so much more about the game than I will be saying here. I’ll emphasize the gameplay a bit, he emphasizes the message)- And it quickly became my personal favorite twist on the Monhun style.

Admittedly, I have tastes.

Not good ones, not bad ones, I have come to realize in the past decade or so that I have specific tastes in games that really REALLY feel perfect to me but are burdensome to others.

The reason I love Toukiden 2 is the same reason I love Nioh. Well not all the reasons, but they have a similar thread and THAT is the same reason I love them.

I love both for many reasons, but the thread is “In-depth customization of character strengths without destroying a simple combat system”. Or. Something like that.

I like games where you can go deep into character builds. Nioh is Dark Souls if you could make exactly 5 billion different character builds with different win conditions and tactics for increasing their efficacy instead of Dark Souls traditional 3-5 builds (Str/Dex/Mag/Fth/Bow). (NOT to belittle souls, I love souls, but play both back to back and you’ll get what I mean by Nioh being “Souls with builds galore”)

Toukiden 2 is Monster Hunter if Monster Hunter let you craft like 16 different builds for every weapon in the game, while avoiding over complicating everything (my same view on Nioh).

For short example off the top of my head.

Monster Hunter, you pick Great Sword, you build for GS. Meaning you likely toss quick sheath on there, maybe draw skills like crit draw (depends on goal/game/build, yes, Monster Hunter is also huge on builds), then generic damage buffs like attack if low rank or crit if G rank.

In Toukiden 2 you pick the great club (Great Sword equivalent).

Your armor is just defense.

Oh... okay. So it’s simpler there that’s nice.

Well the builds are both simple and offer a lot to play with which I like.

As you play you unlock various mitama, or spirits of warriors from the past (to put it simple as hell for this post).

You equip up to 3 of them: A Weapon mitama (general skill), An Evasive mitama (evasion skill), and An Attack Mitama (attack skill).

The weapon mitama is the main one, it determines what 4 skills you get to cast which can be anything from a magic bolt attack to creating clones that copy your attacks for more damage, to raw buffs, to healing- tons of options but all condensed down to “3 unique skills per ‘TYPE’ and Recovery, a jack of all trades heal that every mitama has”

The Evasive gives a buff to cast that is usually defensive in nature, and the Attack mitama generally gives a buff that’s offensive in nature. Again, both of these are determined by the TYPE, so there aren’t a billion options, just a fair amount. But that fair amount is expanded because:

Huh, still seems simple enough to understand but I bet there’s a lot of combining to do there! Correct!

BUT ALSO EACH MITAMA CAN EQUIP 3 SKILLS THAT PASSIVELY INCREASE YOUR ABILITIES, WHA! AND THESE SKILLS ARE PICKED FROM A LIST EACH MITAMA HAS THAT IS UNIQUE TO THEM?

AND DEPENDING ON THE RELATIONSHIP OR CORRELATION THE THREE WARRIORS YOUR MITAMA REPRESENT HELD DURING LIFE YOU CAN GET A BONUS, WHHHAA!

It’s fun to build, and the gameplay is A+.

By the end you have a ‘Great Sword’ build that creates after images of itself to smash the enemy three times with each fully charges slam while also gaining defense buffs because your three spirits like each others company.

Now I mentioned it’s single player oriented, what I mean is they put more effort there than Monhun traditionally does, not that the multi is lacking.

The single player has an actual story, and mostly revolves around you making new friends. Said friends become AI controlled hunters you can bring on any hunt which is a big boon. Also the world is open world (before World did it and moreso than world did it) and random events occur for you to involve yourself with!

Now the only caveat is that unlike Dwarf Fortress this game is not free. The link included in the name of the game is to the steam page, I play on PS4, it’s a whole thing.

I will say that it DOES have a free version of the low rank multiplayer so you can give the game a try before you actually buy. I highly recommend it if you’re into “builds” or the era of Oni portrayed, or just want some more Monster Hunter.

Masterwork Dwarf Fortress LP info

I realize I just kinda hurled this LP out there without talking at all about the mod at all, so I will rectify that now.

MDF is more or less the same at its core as vanilla. All the vanilla mechanics are there, from messing with liquid physics to create farmland, to mining for materials, to building crazy projects. It’s still the same crazy depthy citybuilder/godgame, just with lots more content.

Masterwork adds a lot of other mods, as well as having content made specifically for it. You can play as dwarves just like vanilla, humans (who have reversed Cavern Adaptation and get sick if forced to live underground for too long), Orcs (Raiding race that can make war early and use the skills and gear from other races for their own gain), Succubi (Weak in stats and gear but have powerful Pets and can magically generate Magma and forge without fuel to make plenty of Glass, as well as add to their numbers by capturing other races and converting them), and Kobolds similar to the original Kobold Camp mod (They can’t dig into stone at all so they can only make things out of bone, wood, and whatever they can steal).

Third-party mods range from new equipment and monsters, new non-playable races to raid you, rocks occasionally coming alive and attacking your miners, to creatures that use the bird ‘egg laying’ mechanic to give you silk more safely than collecting it from wild spiders.

It also has its own tileset complete with animated sprites that hopefully should make things readable for people who don’t have Pacman Effect dreams in ascii like I do.

I’ll do my best to show off the Orc race’s unique mechanics as I go, but it’s by no means a comprehensive guide on how to play either MDF or the orcs. I’m mostly hoping some cool shit happens so I can write little bits of fiction about it.

Dwarf Fortress survival is due to exist on Linux

Dwarf Fortress colony sim game is due to release on Linux and Proton via Windows PC. Which is the result of the efforts from developer Bay 12 Games. Make its launch for both Steam and Itch. After years of hard work, developer Bay 12 Games is eager to announce the newly inviting release. Due to arrive for the fabled Dwarf Fortress will release on December 6th Originally released by brothers Tarn and Zach Adams in 2006. This new version of Dwarf Fortress reimagines. The deeply intricate, dwarven civilization management and construction game. Which is not going beyond its ASCII characters with a brand new pixel art tileset. A new helpful tutorial to onboard unfamiliar players. Due to offering a new soundtrack and sound effects. Plus a new user interface and navigable menus, and other quality of life additions.

Linux support:

We're also not able to approach Mac and Linux by ourselves. Since we've never notarized a Mac build or managed Linux libraries, and will need to get help with that to do it properly. But obviously we'd love to get that whole pipeline working so people can play on non-Windows computers.

This is the official Dwarf Fortress post in Steam News post. So the details from the Discussions seem to in fact be true. On top of that, having personally tested the game on Proton, it works without issue. However, for such an epic title, I certainly hope Bay 12 Games will stay committed to a native Linux build.

Dwarf Fortress Steam Edition - Release Date Trailer

These new additions make this version of the game the most approachable it has ever been. While still keeping the beloved core experience and complex simulation. Since this is what keeps it so popular for all these years. The classic version of Dwarf Fortress will remain available for download at no cost. and will continue to be supported, on Bay 12’s website. At launch, the game will release will come with its Fortress Mode. So you can lead a colony of dwarves, create your own settlement, and try to survive and thrive in a world of endless possibility. The Dwarf Fortress Legends mode will also be available at launch. The Adventure and Arena modes that players know from the classic version of the game will not be present in the Steam and Itch release at launch. But Bay 12 Games continues working hard on making sure these modes are their best when they arrive on Steam. While continuing to communicate with the community when further updates are available. Dwarf Fortress colony sim game will see a brand new soundtrack, with tracks even made in the Dwarvish language. Composed by Dabu, Simon Swerwer and Águeda Macias, the soundtrack will also be separately released for purchase on Steam and Bandcamp. While the game will release on Windows PC for sure, but playable on Linux via Proton. At least until we see a native build. Priced at $29.99 USD / £22.99 / 27,99€ on both Steam and Itch.
