    Excellent news to hear. In a lot of ways the steam release has been a step back, and it’s good to see us getting back to where we were before the release.

    Wow, I didn’t realize that Dwarf Fortress is being developed on Windows. Up until this point, I’d naively assumed that this game had been initially developed for TTYs and only later ported to graphical operating systems! Go figure, huh?

      By default, even if it looks like a TTY, DF renders to a graphical buffer. Most TTYs are too slow to play dwarf fortress, but you can actually configure it to render to a terminal. It’s just not the default.

    Have they announced any attempts to refactor some of the heavy algorithms like pathfinding to take advantage of more than one CPU thread?

    Great to have another game supported natively on Linux. Hopefully the developers keep this up to date as well.
