Poor gobbos, if the dwarves would just share in the first place, there would be no need for the constant wars between the two races. :'(

Quoting: WorMzyEDIT: I see it's a GTK3 application, which is disappointing. :(

Why is that disappointing?
I mean, I use like one KDE app. I expect when I click "install" in the software manager it pulls in like all of KDE, but who cares? My hard drive is partitioned, and nearly all of it is for /home because the actual system hardly takes up any room by comparison, and adding KDE stuff really makes hardly any difference and it's not like I have to manage the dependencies. So who cares?

I don't care about the disk space usage -- I have ~8TB storage attached to my main system, and 9TB on my backup NAS. What I care about is that GTK3 is an unstable and hideous mess of a toolkit. I won't have it on my systems.

It's disappointing that the dev(s) used it, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Never needed to use it, 99% of my games are accessible through Steam, and I could add the others as shortcuts if I was so inclined.

Still, it's good to see it's so actively developed!

I use chroots rather than VMs, but my 32GB RAM is usually mostly used for compiling software too (mostly because I run the chroots on tmpfs).

Fingers crossed there's no GTK3 dependency.

If it boosts interest in Linux with developers, then that's great. I hope the games come to Steam though, as I won't be using this product.

Quoting: BotonoskiI never really expected Dwarf Fortress to ever officially use anything besides ASCII art.

It's supported tilesets for years. There's hundreds of different sets available if you don't like ascii.

I've already wishlisted it, although I can't see myself moving away from the traditional version even if the new version does come to Linux. I'll still buy it once it comes over, just to support the dev.
