Hey kids, I just wanted to pass along this note: Warren Spector has called Dwarf Fortress the future of gaming--get in now before it "sells out!"

When the next version of dwarf fortress comes out I will do a new LP here. Toady(one of the devs) is currently making the gameworld seamless, so the mountains you settle your dwarves in will look the same as on the game map, no more large flat wall to dig into He is also adding a Z axis to the game so you can now dig upwards and downwards into the mountain

Z axis? Now it will take like 3 hours to calculate the world.

yeah, in his post that actually confirmed the Z axis being in, he said it goes up a maximum 15 and down 15, if you have the memory for it

dibs on a seat in the next one

I think I automatically qualify for the next one, seeing as how I am quite adept at losing various things I should create an interesting plot.
