To clarify, there's two playable game modes (and a third, non-playable mode):

* Adventure mode - A roguelike game where you play a character in your world, visiting towns/fortresses, exploring caves, doing quests, etc.
* Fortress mode - A city building-style game where you direct a team of dwarves to create a fortress. From mining and smelting metal ores, to creating and equipping a military force to repel goblin invaders.
* Legends mode - Contains all the generated world's history, so you can read about all the notable figures and artifacts that helped shape the world you live in. Your successes and failures in the game modes are also recorded here.

If you're not a fan of roguelike games, stick to fortress mode. It's still fun to visit your old, abandoned fortress(es) in Adventure mode though.

^ Set the PRINT_MODE to TEXT, install an ssh app on your phone, and run df in a tmux session. :D

It's not actually running on your phone, but it's as close as we can get right now. :P

Holy crap, someone just hammered my nostalgia button! Used to play this on the Secondary School LAN back in the day. Great game, but as the name suggests, it's very much co-op oriented. Will have to see if I can convince some people to play with me. ^_^

Excellent news, I'm starting a new fortress as I type!

A 'none' option would be great for WM-only users. :)

Let's hope Deep Silver will support this one post-release..

I think it's a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. You'd think that the person behind the twitter account would check their information before outright denying something though!

I like that you're not scripting it. That way people have the freedom to withhold information if they desire (for whatever reason).

Also wow, when you split the distros up, Arch is only just behind Ubuntu! (at least, at the moment!)

The graphs look cool. Good work, Liam!
