The problem with DF was never the graphics but the UI itself. See Rimworld which is hugely popular but much more "playable". Basically the UI is holding back the game to become a much bigger success
- mlindner 8y agoRimworld is also a MUCH simpler game. It's simpler to the point when I played it Rimworld felt "dead" as compared to how "alive" the DF simulation felt.
- vkou 8y agoRimworld is a much simpler game, but it would not be improved if, instead of the incredibly straight, user-friendly forward military system that it has, it had the insane morass of uniforms, schedules, equipment menus, burrows, that Dwarf Fortress does. It's an incredibly roundabout system that has too much complexity in the UI, for too little complexity in gameplay. You could add features to Rimworld, to reach feature parity with Dwarf Fortress, and it's easy-to-use UI would still hold up.
