Dwarf Fortress is Emacs of games. Would have taken over the world by now if it was not made by some strange nerds that have their own subjective beauty standards that absolutely no one shares.
- taftster 4y agoBut would it have taken over the world, if not made by some strange nerds?? I think Dwarf Fortress would not had been successful, in terms of depth/richness of gameplay, had the nerds "sold out" too soon. The beauty of DF is the subjective standards you refer. DF would have just been yet-another-world-generated-game.
