Bless their hearts they just have to get Turing complete computing correct and then they can release their medieval fantasy world simulator

There was at least a few computers in the 2D era, but I don't know if we got turning complete until 3D for better signal routing.

Yeah threading is hard which is why a lot of games don't do it (although sometimes you get problems with excessive threading like that issue Monster Hunter World's PC release had where it was running so many threads that a significant amount of CPU time was being eaten just managing it), although you do still get the advantage on a multi-core CPU where you can have various background processes running on one core while the game gets one all to itself.

Threading is pure dark arts sorcery. I'm convinced that anyone who actually knows what they're doing with regards to multithreading a game sacrificed some large animal to a demon or sold their soul to a devil for the skill.

You've got decades of locking models being well-documented and liberally licensed (ie. can be integrated without even needing to worry about GPL), but more in addition to that you've also got things like ConcurrencyKit and threading sanitizers (LLVM TSAN) that can help you handle a lot of the associated issues around threading itself, that aren't limited to locking, as well as have the compiler help find the locking issues that you wouldn't necessarily discover on your own. Now, retrofitting a modern toolchain capable of those things onto an existing toolchain for a game? Now that is likely to involve arcane arts and possibly blood sacrifices.

I maintain a 2006 gaming laptop with an absurdly fast 4GHz P4 single core for fun and it's better at playing SimCity 4 than anything else I have- DF runs mostly into RAM problems

Skyl3lazer posted:The main reason I'm excited about steam release is the next feature is supposed to be magic and I want it I was internally planning that I'd finally pick DF up again when the magic release hit, which I deemed at the time to be "pretty soon I hope!" and that was so long ago now I can't even remember when. Invariably what does happen is I get started with great gusto, plan my starting 7 and their complementary jobs really carefully, try to put together a military, then get distracted with other things until the military is finally called upon, at which point they all fight over one sock and nobody does anything and everything gets ruined and I quit again. As much as magic is the feature I look forward to the most, realistically I know I stand a better chance of actually getting anywhere if the steam release makes the military more accessible (which I assume it does?? I've only been following the news piecemeal when a friend links updates)

Honestly I kind of like that magic has been a thing that's been put off so long. I like the low fantasy element of magic existing in the setting but it's not something you can do. It feels very Dwarfy somehow that mages are basically just one more problem you have to deal with because they exclusively come in the form of necromancers constantly making every little bit of dead something on the map come alive and attack you.

I'd love some kind of rune magic poo poo that lets dwarves imbue weapons and armor with weird effects.

I always assumed that's basically what artifacts already were. Like all the various weird decorations they stick on them are functional in a rune-magic sort of way, which is why they are so powerful. Although it would be fun if that was extended beyond just "it's the best possible sword you can get" to having unique effects. Especially if it could also apply to non weapon/armour artifacts. A cabinet that menaces with spikes of amethyst that passively soothes tantruming dwarves in the same room.

I woudl assume that we'd get crazy off balanced dangerous random effects, like how forgotton beasts can be made out of all sorts of nonsense. A sword that turns whatever it damages into honey. Boots that make the wearer freeze into a solid block of ice when they step into water, etc.

A table made of blood that if a dwarf thinks unhappy thoughts about, their mouth is removed. You know, typical dwarfy stuff. Actually now I want it, because it would basically make every fortress an SCP containment facility.
