Hey, someone's cribbing Dwarf Fortress again - John Smedley's Hero's Son

Recommended Posts

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/herossong/heros-song?ref=users

 

Summary: A 2D pixel art iteration on Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode! The main reason I say it iterates on Dwarf Fortress is the fact that for each game the world history is procedurally generated in a way that sounds exactly like Tarn Adam's labor of love, Dwarf Fortress. You then adventure in that generated world, just like Dwarf Fortress Adventure mode.

 

(Please, someone just give Tarn Adams and his brother a sinecure so they can work on DF forever. Thanks.)

 

By Pixelmage Games, headed up by John Smedley. Patrick Rothfuss is helping with the writing. Looks interesting, and although I am now suffering from Kickstarter exhaustion, hoping this gets fully funded.

 

Thoughts anyone?

I don't think "pixel art" means what they think it means.

 

As apart of my EverQuest recovery plan, my wife has barred me from giving John Smedley any more money. It's worked really well so far - 11 years sober.

Any art is pixel art if you look at it on a computer screen.

If they can procedurally generate something that looks that solid, hooboy, they're pretty good.

 

Doesn't look like they're gonna make their goal, though.
