The colony thing is the side note, even though it became the main part of the game, and we were writing this dwarf colony game. Armok, first of all, was a single-player, you were playing an adventure, one character, like a traditional RPG. Quote from: Toady It was always in the original plan. Adventure Mode is currently a sideshow until it starts to really allow you to do something that a dozen other better-developed roguelikes don't already allow you to do. So you get people who come for the Fortress Mode, and stay for the Fortress Mode. Impressive, yes, but you can't hear stories of DF where people talk about procedural world history and want to play that game the way you can hear about people making supersonic minecarts or mermaid ranching factories. The only thing DF has going for it is the world generation system, which is not quite advanced enough to really be a selling point all on its own just so you can walk through a procedural world. There are plenty of Roguelikes out there with brutal combat that targets specific limbs and the like, and those games tend to have far more advanced crafting, questing, and basically everything else systems. Worse still, Adventure Mode just flat-out isn't unique the way that Fortress Mode is. People hear about and come to play DF because of fortress mode, while Adventure Mode just plain isn't ready for prime time. To answer the main question, it's because not only is Fortress Mode more advanced and developed now, it's been that way for the vast bulk of DF's history. Human cities were like 12 square-shaped houses with a couple people inside besides one tavern that had 12 people inside. Before there were proper procedural cities, there was literally nothing to do but go around murdering every living thing in the world before killing yourself. I mean, you COULD grab some gear and go around killing things, but that was about it. Toady has been mostly focusing upon making Adventurer mode something other than a completely pointless mode where you can run around and kill or get killed by wolves until you get bored or die for the past 6 or so years straight, putting more effort into Adventurer Mode than Fortress Mode ever since the Military and Hospital rewrite.Īdventure mode used to be only vaguely playable when I started playing.
