http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Here's an interim release - this is a fixer-upper for the old version, and not related at all to the new graphical stuff. This isn't meant to address everything of course, or even most things, and we'll be cleani

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Our second leap day release! Fixes old and new this time. From the new category, aside from crashes, marriages were being dissolved frequently and friendly visiting experiments were breaking too much furniture. A

As the month draws to a close, so do the crayon and story rewards. If you signed up before this month, please get that Patreon message or email to me before March 1. If you signed up this month, I'll be contacting you in mid-March if you've selected the reward tier - please make sure to select it! T

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Here's another bug-fix release, ranging into some older issues as well. There's been some work on the raid crash/corruption problem, though I suspect that is ongoing - hopefully the frequency is lessened. I've al

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) This is the first bug-fix release, focusing on newly introduced problems. Most notably, world gen crashes should happen less often, having babies should cause less trouble, and some adventure mode problems with q

When we started on Patreon some years back, a number of people wondered how we'd keep up with our traditional story and crayon rewards with the influx of new people. Our plan was to continuing with the old "just do them all" system we'd been using, until such a time that it became impossible to keep

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Here is the villains release! There are various bits we're going to have to loop back around to after the graphics work is complete (see previous lengthy dev log), so perhaps this should be called the first villa

Hey everybody! We mentioned a big announcement on the development log, and here it is: Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam and itch with a new tile set, and generally enhanced graphics and audio. We'll continue updating and releasing the free ASCII version on the Bay 12 web page as Dwarf Fortress Clas

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Just some cleaning before we embark on the villain changes. There's a new offloading popup that can come up on the season change if you have enough activity in your world; it can take a little time in larger worl

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) There are now peaceful and not-so-peaceful ways of expanding your influence in the world. Once a site becomes linked to you (through prosperity or by conquest; you'll see a message), you can send a messenger ther

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Here's our next effort, which should change the general situation regarding the (often inebriated) fortress dwarves and their lack of apparent stress. Part of this involves a new system of memories, which we'll b

Major bug fixes (*) Made projectiles and weapon traps work again Other bug fixes/tweaks (*) Changed w.g. populat

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) This should stop Linux from freezing. It also includes some other bug fixes that could be quickly incorporated. Major bug fixes (*) Stopped linux from freezing (*) Fixed crash from demanding tribute from parentle

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) This is a stability patch for the last release. A few raid-related crashes are fixed, as well as some strange behavior related to stolen livestock. To get the full fix for stolen livestock, old saves will need to

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up) Here's the first substantial update to the fortress's world map screen. New raid options are available, and it shouldn't be hard for you to antagonize your neighbors now if that's what you want to do. Use the 'd'

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves One fix on top of the last release, for visitors that had become broken, acting like partial residents. Any broken visitors themselves are unpatchable in affected saves, so it was important to get this one up quickly. Old saves are compatible as usual, and should no

This is another bug fix release to start the new year. A few of the bad five-second freeze/lag problems caused by the new release have been fixed, and large beasts should move off the edge of the map again. Over in adventure mode, inappropriate creatures shouldn't yell 'identify yourself' and compan

Dwarf Fortress 0.44.03 http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves Here are some bug fixes to close out the year. Notably, visitors shouldn't arrive in such large numbers so early on, and fewer of them should overstay their welcome (in old saves, people already in transit will arrive, but it should taper off.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves Hopefully this'll stop the problems we've been having in world generation! Linux Update: I should be able to test the Linux drive on Saturday once I get the hard drive enclosure, and we'll go from there. Apologies for the continuing delay. Major bug fixes (*) Fixed

This is the artifact release, featuring the ability to send your dwarves off to cause trouble in the world, improved kobold sites, cover identities, artifact questers, and a bit of artifact diplomacy. In fort mode, the 'c' screen which used to list civilizations still does that as a suboption, but i

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves Here are the first official 64-bit releases!

This release should

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves A new version number! With the work order additions and adventurer-created sites, this one ended up with more new stuff and fewer bug fixes than expected, and my version calculator just tipped over at 0.43.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves Here's the material and image specification release, along with several important bug fixes. There's more to be done with job settings -- we need to improve work orders and allow the decoration of specific objects, to name a few, but this should be a good start. New

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves Here's another one! We're still going to be working through adventure reputation/quest/etc. improvements, so consider this a first stage. Other highlights are the fortress mode sparring and mug-carrying fixes. Enjoy your zombies. New stuff (*) New hearth orders for

I held off on common domestic animal people for now, but there are plenty of canine and feline critters that got the treatment.

Here's a quick follow-up for some of the worst bugs. There are still some strange things going on (horses all over, duplicate companions, etc.), but hopefully this version will work much better than the last one.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves Here is the new version we've been working on all year! The flow of fortress life is quite a bit different now -- specific breaks and parties have been replaced by taverns and performances and needs and inebriation. You can designate a tavern, temple or library from

Welcome to the new people! We'll be sending out all of last month's rewards over the next few days. Just let me know if things are not as they should be.
