Future of the Fortress - June 2024 - The Bug Pile
#dwarffortress #fortressmode #futureofthefortress

[@TenkaFubu]

While i understand and agree with many of the players asking for features. I can't help but sympathize more with Toady when he says something along the lines of : "Yeah i'd like to add that feature at some point after i'm done with this" ... for the 52nd time in a row

[@BlindiRL]

I have actually lost count of the number of times he has had to say "Yeah, once adventure mode is out"

[@GarrettTBuse]

DF players are used to thinking in the long term at this point. I think when most players ask about features they're more of asking "do you think you might add this in the next year or 5?"

[@Reyvinn92]

Damn, the production value increase is staggering! I don't believe the editor can have any other name than Urist...

[@dawn4383]

This is a bauxite video. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is edited with spikes of art.

[@Yr-Anghenfil]

Nothing like a new Blind video. FOR THE ALGORITHM

[@stripes8812]

He felt satisfied dwelling upon commenting to the algorithm gods.

[@mister_r447]

Kinda of a weird feeling having my username be read out loud. Also, HELL YEAH I GOT A RESPONSE! I haven't checked the forum in such a long time i had forgotten!

[@VajaaAlyinen]

It really does

[@thefyrenight]

Usually I just listen to these videos on the side but with the new visuals I catch my self looking at the screen more often than not while I work. Nice new visuals!

[@bb-jy7iu]

Visuals and editing looks great!

[@chrisdonovan8795]

They call him, "Mr. Scribbs!"

[@maybeso68]

"Scribbles" the Dwarf

[@featuringfranklin]

Just name the dwarf whatever your favorite non-Urist dwarf name is.

[@archaeologistify]

2:29 Freudian slip! 😀 I love your reads of the Future of the Fortress and I treat them as my main source of news for DF. Great look on your new graphics on the video!

[@waddlechoc8289]

This new look is so much better, even if it takes more effort. Thanks Blind

[@3shakebreak]

He could be calcium crypt so youd have a dwarf persona like kruggsmash

[@slimeinc.3822]

I do wish that unsmoothed floors having the color of the stone they're made of could become a toggleable feature..

[@rottenroadkill3311]

I crave this so badly

[@MaJetiGizzle]

The visuals looked nice, but I normally only listen to these Future of the Fortress videos (went back after watching when you mentioned the new visuals).

[@nunyabeeznutz5286]

I like the new format! My one suggestion if it is not too much work is to use a generic question mark "avatar" for the questions. I love the little Toady One avatar you made!

[@GodozChampion]

Tosid Subet-Tathur. Love the new look too!

[@shadowlordofwolves]

The new look is great, props to the artist (and you as well Blind). Much easier to stay engaged during the video. A more historically nerdy suggestion (I'm an archaeologist) for the scribe would be something related to 'Marcus Tullius Tiro'. He was Cicero's scribe who is believed to have developed a shorthand system to record Cicero's speaches. Maybe with a dwarfier version of the name :) Love the videos, even if work getting busy has stopped me catching the streams.

[@Torriotorres]

Congratz Tarn! Im glad you found love!!!

[@cwynneth_celtia]

Love the new look!

[@SetArk]

I really love this new style! It's cute and pretty visually appealing! For the name of the editor, well, we have the classic Urist! But this is too common isn't? Maybe Komar Tathur? Or maybe Noth Mishthem? Or... Nekut Zogmåm? Or or! Algo Irid the Scripture Keeper!

[@SuperShadowNova]

The new presentation looks amazing; and as other commenters have suggested, I think giving the dwarf a puny name like Scribbs or Scribbles would be best :).

[@skkipy3013]

Life changes, the only constant is Tarn slaving away making dwarf fortress…

[@pyaehtetaung]

Congratulations. Paljon onnea.

[@JesseRoberts]

LOVE the new presentation!

[@NecroRevenant]

Good video and good news

[@Oskiirrr]

For your editor friend I suggest the name Nimak. One because I like the sound of it and two because it is Dwarven for Quill which is quite fitting

[@wesleyfilms]

Appreciate the news, as always.

[@pierre.dillon]

Love the Dwarf Scribe! Maybe all that information you give us will end up in a great Dwarven library and make it into Legends Mode :D

[@gabrote42]

Super informative and fun!

[@MrBubmer]

Loving the animations and the editing 10/10

[@Drakansoul]

Vabôk Nuraltathur

[@BlindiRL]

Best part is google is trying to translate that.

[@alucas705]

I used to play adventure mode off and on in the ascii version and the after the steam release magic is going to be my first big wait. I know its probably off in the future but a magic system in df gets me so excited.

[@SCREENDOORONSUBMARIN]

This art style is super cool!

[@skidmech2909]

I like the charm of this presentation. Also, there was a mention of a dutchess being kicked from roles. I could have swore in one of my fortresses I had a king as the militia commander like a warrior king.

[@Rime_Di_Michelangelo]

I Hope Toady gets to enjoy some summer vibes among this deluge of stuff to do ✨🌊

[@0DeadSoul0]

Like the new look for FotF videos. The scribes name is Urist Rigòthil (craftword) of course!

[@Domanoc]

Love the new look for the future of the fortress. As for the editor dwarf calling him "Sub Scribe" would be a fun way to call out the necessary you tube stuff

[@rudestlink]

Does this imply the existence of a dom scribe?

[@lambaman]

VERY GOOD!!

[@CasketSanctum]

Visuals look amazing! I love the new look :)

[@crucifirecam4683]

Skribor (sk-rye-boar) name for the dwarf.

[@ObeseMcDese]

praise him

[@clinodev]

Ooh, fancy!

[@lyagushkha8490]

I'm froggin here!

[@hugoalvord2779]

I like the art style. I would call the dwarf The Scribe or The Scholar, depending on what he does

[@lobsterchow3898]

Cool new style and visuals! The note taker looks like a Bomrek to me. Perhaps Bomrek Stickynotes.

[@willem1703]

New and improved indeed! 🤩🍺

[@an0bserver2000]

looks great!

[@consilo]

BLIND I LOVE IT, IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[@carlludwig8803]

Love the new look. Great work. Nothing against your face, but this is a great improvement for future of the fortress read alongs.

[@ThePoliticalBulldog]

nice change. smart workflow (forum posts < content)

[@Torriotorres]

I really like the new look. Perhaps adwarf name that translates to what you think he represents would be best. Like book, or something I dunno, but what name would fit.

[@rottenroadkill3311]

This is so cute!!

[@Dukebluethemad]

Cool.

[@DavidGaither]

Scribbles the Scribe

[@ker0356]

clicked because of the new look

[@kashmirgoat]

I am commenting, and making it relevant.

[@JohnClarkW]

I love the new look

[@johnd5327]

I think the note taker should be named Scrag.

[@dariuscardren]

Enjoy the animations!

[@vincentsalcido9605]

A L G O R I T H M

[@ChristosGoulios]

I like it

[@morganlloyd6351]

I just want to be able to empty buckets

[@legendaycraploot4337]

There is only one possible name imo. Urist McScribe.

[@jimgarrison9084]

Scribbles is a good name.

[@wanaa66]

FotF FTW. FOR THE ALGORITHM

[@YumLemmingKebabs]

Holy crap Tarn's getting married? Confuckinggrats! Damn! He really is growing up!

[@JohnBrandenburg82]

Purchased on release day. Still waiting for a Mac release.

[@TS-kt3nf]

Nice new look!

[@oskarbranse-instone808]

epic

[@singingbard]

Bump for the algorithm.

[@TheUnburntGod]

You should name the dwarf "Paige" :D I have a question about you reading. It seems like sometimes you put different emphasis on random words and I'm wondering why that's happening? Do you cut between different clips of you reading or something? Or is the text far away from the screen you're reading off of so you don't know when sentences end? This isn't a critique I'm just interested. I love your content!

[@SCREENDOORONSUBMARIN]

How about Scrivenurist for your little dwarf writer?

[@slimeinc.3822]

Engagement comment 🥂

[@user-gy5oz8mr8l]

This all cool and exciting( adventure mode being released for the second time in my life =) ) But what about military screen? Alerts? Ability to disable this annoying tutorial popups? QoL, basically, one can speak of may things I understand, many new players, etc., but... sometimes i just play good old pre-steam release as it is more complete in ability to control fortress-related features

[@BlindiRL]

Same thing time says in this very series of posts.

[@zanemchugh7745]

How did Eric capture and breed animal people into his forts?

[@VajaaAlyinen]

This looks so dwarfy now

[@predio-chan2141]

excuse me, who is the pixel animator? I would like to know

[@gfinleyg]

Urist McScribbles?

[@Zeus-xy8ft]

I like this new format, it's very fitting. The artstyle reminds me Binding of Issac's menus.
