The_Mather1 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Earth, you've been complaining here a lot of how hard dwarf fortress is, but the question isn't why is it so hard, rather why the hell do you play an ASCII game?

Earth Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 ASCII? and it is ahrd for me. i dont do well on games with no instructions. it just makes it harder to get used to a game.

Seraphi Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Earth, you've been complaining here a lot of how hard dwarf fortress is, but the question isn't why is it so hard, rather why the hell do you play an ASCII game?There is a graphical UI for it, but it's incomplete I believe. It's really easy to understand the ASCII anyway. After playing roguelikes for so long you sort of get to terms with the ASCII style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 .... whaa?? dont know what rougelikes is, dude. anyways, im absolutley sure that, once i get the hang of the game, dwarf fortress will become a fovroite game. but for now, its on the waiting list.

Seraphi Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Earth, you'd probably like Minecraft a lot better. It still has a really dwarf fortress-y feel to it, but is a hell of a lot simpler. Unless you get into red powder manipulation, but that's a whole different story. http://minecraft.net/ While I'm on the subject, I was messing with red stuff today (I built an 8 bit binary combination lock, but that is fairly simple anyway), and this, which I documented for when multiplayer comes out and I actually get to use it on people instead of whichever poor defenseless sheep or pig happens to wander into the corridor. The blue lines are iron doors, by the way. And the red lines are wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icuownage Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's.... Cruel :'( I might go back on it for a hobby, as I have nothing else to do, though it is rather limited if you don't buy it and I don't have a paypal or anything. Can't wait until I'm older and I can finally rack up a debt.

Icuownage Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 So I've been wondering, has anyone on here made anything fantasy like? E.G Book, fanart, comic. It would be interesting, I've never finished a project but I have tons of unfinished books which I never really fill.

Ieyfura Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I start to write Novels then get Chapter One syndrome, so far I can only manage to complete short stories. I also write poetry and draw Manga ^.^ "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space. I'll put you in your place.I'll only tell you once, I'll never tell you twice.

The_Mather1 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have made a few lays but that's the closest I've gotten to creating any good story. I suck at drawing things I imagine at freehand and generally on drawing programs. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have the first chapter of a novel stuck in a closet somewhere. It's like... 25 pages or something. Probably filled with total nonsense and awful storytelling too, but I don't care to go and dig it out and check. I'm pretty good at drawing concept art (As you probably know, Icu), but nothing like professional standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icuownage Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Ross is quite the good doodlist, that is all he ever does in school.... Ever.... AND HE STILL PULLS GOOD GRADES. Quite the marvel. Though you should probably look into Photoshop if you want to have completely amazing looking fanart, that's what most people do, just add some kick ass effects. I was looking back on some of my old works and Jesus some of it is horrible, but potential is there. I always think up the end though, before I even write the middle.

Seraphi Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Eh. I only doodle in lessons I get bored in. Mostly English, rarely chemistry, and always in business. But we both know that business is cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icuownage Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I think I pulled a C, cause I seemingly always babble on nonsensically in my answers, which would mean a B overall cause of the coursework. I only worry about the ideas and context and biology exam, other than that I think I pretty much did my target or above that.

Icuownage Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 In my mock I got a D, then in the next mock I got an A. Which confused the hell outta me.

archimage_a Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Great work is on my profile. Uncompleted, of course... The trick I found was to do it as a series of short, self contained, stories.So chapter 1 is about one person, and some stuff happens to them, chapter 2 is about a different person, chapter 3 goes back to person one, chapter 4 goes back to person 2, chapter 5 introduces a new character....So on and so forth, each time you reach a block you start the story from a new angle. Also means you can reuse things a lot, so that one good idea you had is actually four good ideas. :thumbsup: http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icuownage Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'll be sure to check it out ><. I did have an idea for a new story, since I did that RP thread thing we had going on the character I made up, I wanted to write a book about him. The guy who I made, if you don't remember him, he was an insane character who had a book that had the past present and future inside. He even knew his own death, and he knows he is unable to change it. One of the things that turned him insane. Anyway, he at the start seemingly seems like a crazed man who is just killing because he thinks the person is a wrongdoer, but as the story progresses we see what his true motives are. There is a bounty hunter/vigilante, who one night just minding his own business, witnesses one of the murders, he decides that the man is dangerous and that he should persue. After a lengthy persue around the city and quite a few murders, the insane man lets slip one of his motives and his next destination, which is quite far away. That is when the epic chase begins across quite a nice landscape, quite a few murders, and then we finally discover his true purpose, and how he actually obtained the book.
