Dwarf Fortress Development
For all their advancement in storytelling and worldbuilding, it is still <i>so</i> frustrating to try and play DF today. I did not grow up with Roguelikes and ASCII characters or backwards-ass vim-style key-memorization GUI patterns, and the nostalgia that surrounds these things is simply annoying. The noob pack helps but what it really needs is for that isometric graphics mod to become a full UI layer. Mid-90s WinForms would be an improvement over what DF&#x27;s got.<p>It is painful to see people so smart pooh-pooh something so obvious as a <i>useable</i> UI (I won&#x27;t say &quot;decent&quot;, because &quot;decent&quot; nowadays is this brightly-colored material-design garbage) that isn&#x27;t super painful for people who like to come and go.
