From the notice that was posted at the bottom of last page:

quote:

We're also not able to approach Mac and Linux by ourselves, since we've never notarized a Mac build or managed Linux libraries, and will need to get help with that to do it properly. But obviously we'd love to get that whole pipeline working so people can play on non-Windows computers.

I've not really played since 2010 or so and badly at that. I need to get my vacation leave down for end of year rollover. Dwarf Fortress release is as good of a reason as any to take a day

Seriously, like, it was featured in the NY Museum of Modern Art for a reason.

It's the outsider art of video games. Often imitated, never duplicated.

I've never used a minecart, just add as many wheelbarrows to every stockpile as possible and let the dwarves sort things out

Is there a shortlist of “most significant changes” somewhere? Like a super broadstroke executive summary…items like “graphics” and “multi-threaded” or something as applicable.

I haven't played this game in 7-8 years but I'm going to put a ton of time into the steam release probably. May be the only thing that can break my current planet zoo and TOME addiction.

Imagine being able to move five stones at once, without even the slow encumbrance penalty of one stone! Science!
