This Friday, Justin Sovine (xio2) will be casually presenting an introduction to Dwarf Fortress. Including but not limited to:
- Downloading and installing the game
- Modifying the game configuration (including tilesets and graphics packs)
- Generating a new world and finding your first embark site
- A basic overview of embark profiles (starting skills & items)
- Understanding the graphics and user interface
- Your first in-game year: what to do, what to expect, and why you’re probably going to die.
- Explain the DF premise that “losing is Fun”
- Short, interesting stories and artwork from forts found on the internet
- Resources and community
Here’s the game for anyone interested ahead of time: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
