    I feel some irony it in being a video one has to sit through rather than crafting it into an actual article made of characters.

      Well they make documentaries, not blogs.

      [watches the National Geographic channel] “this could have been a blog entry!!”

      Steam Dwarf Fortress has sprite graphics and a GUI though ;)

        Steam DF graphics look almost exactly like the graphics mod I used when I played DF before it went Steam. I literally couldn't tell the difference upon release.

          I was under the impression that steam release was equally about the mouse based ui overhaul, was that also available through mods?
          • tharkun__11 days ago
            They did make quite a bit of the UI better, yes. While I do use keyboard shortcuts for lots of things still in the Steam version, you no longer have to things and can just use the mouse.

            Also a bunch of things that were just completely 100% unusable without DwarfTherapist are bearable now.

            I don't remember many specifics tho. It's been a while and I checked yesterday and it seems I don't even have the old folder anywhere any longer.

            Oh and DFHack of course. That's still something you want that automates a bunch of things you really don't want to live with otherwise.

          I doubt that, what graphics mod did you use?

            Obsidian or Ironhand with TWBT
