It’s interesting that DF has been around for just year and years and whenever I think it’s fully faded out some YouTuber makes a video about it and back it goes.
It’s like a cycle. People play dwarf fortress, people make a video on it. Then they forget. And then a new, young audience is around and another video comes out about Dwarf fortress and they watch it and get into it.
I'll go back for adventure mode, I've put probably thousands of hours in the non-steam version. I am so extremely happy that Steam sales are approaching a million. I remember that specific number was some imaginary unattainable number for the devs when they agreed to try a release on steam.
Tarn and Zach deserve all the best.
I know I don't know them personally, but I believe they are wonderful people. Every time I see or read an interview of them, I'm endeared to then even more.
