[tussude]

[klingon13524]

@tussude It's about the same learning cliff.

[shoottokill7433]

[MattCatx]

You should try Minecraft :)

[Tottte]

@MattCatx Minecraft got inspired from Dwarf Fortress. Dwarf Fortress is why Minecraft exist

[defiantBlaze]

@Tottte

No. Infiniminer is why Minecraft exists.

[Turbosonic98]

@defiantBlaze Actually, Infiniminer AND Dwarf Fortress are why Minecraft exists.

[defiantBlaze]

@Turbosonic98 Yeah, you're right.

[xxduberryxx]

I will pay you $100 if you make a video where you just say 'Mr. Frodo!"

[Crosell]

[SuperTrigga3]

Minecrafts origins:)

[daveabittner]

@SuperTrigga3 Ehh I wouldn't say that this game is far different. I would say infiminer is :)

[Sonofsweetness]

I will pay this guy 100 dollars every night he reads me book.

[Tottte]

@thedutchkid100 wow, is that getting old

[BindTheLeather]

And boom goes the Dolomite.

[MaskFaceDude]

@DRgeekful clearly you haven't played. honestly, minecraft is really boring and shallow after this game for me. I used to love minecraft too.

[TehShortzBus]

When migrrants arrive the arrive in another region and i cant get back to my dwarves :( any idea how i can fix this?

[it900Sover]

@ervinasroblox3 You mental

[yahhcold]

@ervinasroblox3 Go fuck yourself

[yahhcold]

@ervinasroblox3 I just had to do that

[artman40]

This game seems to have a steep learning curve.

[Minecraft2789]

HELP!

A forgotten beast sprayed fire on a forest and its burning a ton,

I dont really care about the forest- But its creating massive ammounts of lag and Wont burn up because its going so slow- Im afraid it will crash and the save will corrupt

Are there any mods that can instantly put out fires? If so please respond with a link or something!

[gamefreak5671]

@Minecraft2789 use water?

[DarkSemptess]

X years of history, randomly generated before your eyes. I feel like god now.

[MrObviousJester]

ALL HAIL THE INSPIRATION FOR MINECRAFT!

ALL HAIL!

[Minecraft2789]

Its not the inspiration to minecraft.

that, was infiniminer.

[MrObviousJester]

@Minecraft2789 Im pretty sure notch said something about this being abit of the inspiration for minecraft.

[gamefreak5671]

@MrObviousJester this game has nothing in common with minecraft

[MrObviousJester]

@gamefreak5671 Apart from the part when you have to survive. You mine. etc you mean? Because it has alot in common with Minecraft. Have you even played minecraft?

[gamefreak5671]

@MrObviousJester no im not saying the word mine in infiminer means anything like minecraft

[MrObviousJester]

@gamefreak5671 Oh and the randomly generated world... The monsters..

[gamefreak5671]

@Minecraft2789 infiniminer was made by notch

[Minecraft2789]

@gamefreak5671 Haha no It wasnt- Infiniminer was made by Zachary Barth, Who founded Zachtronics industries.

Notch played infiniminer and thought it could use much improvement, so he made a clone of the game- eventually surpassing the game itself in popularity.

Remember child- Google is your friend =)

[Minecraft2789]

@gamefreak5671 Before you go correcting people like me AND Jester, Make sure you have all of your facts straight kay?

[SuperMario4Dead]

I'm Here because of Notch :D

[carlthung]

how do u get mroe dwarfs!?!

[DaMinecraftGamerz]

THANK GOD 4 this game IT HELPED MAKE MINECRAFT (INSPIRE NOTCH)

[FinneysGuidesTeam]

They really need to get dwarf fortress to forge empires by expanding on the map. This would be epic. On a better note, this tutorial has been so useful I FINALLY KNOW WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING!

[dogg2292]

Dwarf fortress is a piece of crap .... It's all about Minecraft Watch

[UEMstudios]

@dogg2292 Lol minecraft is fucking retarded.

[miauw62]

This is outdated.

Seriously outdated.

[itarethetroll]

@miauw62 It's actually far ahead of its time.

[Wazzappmon]

What is the mening of this game?!

[captnduck]

@Wazzappmon I dont think a game has a mening. If anything the game does not want you playing it. But we will just see that through the fingers :trollface:

[sniffyourdogtwice]

@Wazzappmon just for fun

[MrLosAzteca]

@Wazzappmon Its basically a crap version of Minecraft

[VoorkJTV]

@MrLosAzteca not even close

[SjOtRiK]

@Wazzappmon Why, !!FUN!!, of cource!

[thamastachief]

OMFG!!!! Second attempt of starting with this game now. It literary melts my brain!

[MaskFaceDude]

BEST GAME EVER

[ninjacreeper1]

@MaskFaceDude minecraft ?

[DRgeekful]

@MaskFaceDude minecraft

[Spandex08]

@MaskFaceDude Not sure if ... or ....

[Lexyvil]

@RuniteCraft Is the game called Ancient Domains of Mystery? That and Dwarf Fortress are both ASCII-graphic based.

[Lexyvil]

I just started playing this a while ago for the first time. It's hard as hell to learn but once you get into it, you'll know that it's the best game ever made.

And Adventure Mode is awesome, just that it'll take a while for it to be updated.

[UltimateSuperHamster]

MY PUNY AMERICAN MIND CANT COMPREHEND HIS AXCENT.

Pardon the spell fail

[XTHEDARKMAGEX]

"save it to your hard disk" I love you.

[AnonnyAnon]

@RoninEx9 Actually, the first version came out five years ago, and it's only download. No discs, since the game is free and it is still in beta.

[keyreper]

what mod are you useing for the more direct search?

[TheMinecraftBuilder1]

this game is AWESOME! even so if the graphics are bad!

[PwnDealer]

@TheInsaneWombat Nope, I personally think that the graphics are part of the charm :)

[flimda]

@RuniteCraft was it dwarf fortress?

[callumw96]

erm, this game looks like it should be fun, but wtf is happening?

[AnonnyAnon]

Damn, I stayed awake all last night playing this. The people who are saying this game is "lame" and "boring" are probably just those spoiled nine-year-old brats who play video games based on their graphics. This has to be one of my favorite games now, if not my most favorite.

[Adol666]

@AnonnyAnon I just discovered it acouple days ago myself. Its very addictive.

[fatansassy911]

r u hackin

[nwtampaguy34]

lame booorrrinnggg game

[zeaga15]

@nwtampaguy34 Does the 34 in your name represent the number of hairs on your chest?

[nwtampaguy34]

@zeaga15 why you want to come over and comb them for me. Lame Joke and Lame game

[zeaga15]

@zeaga15 Your excessive repetition in the characters of the word "boring" annoys me. If it was a joke, that's perfectly understandable, and if I'm getting it right, funny as hell.

[Proishpwnager]

What program did you use to film this? FRAPS doesn't work...

[thr337]

nice vid baby boy!

[InsaneSpectre]

wtf is this? this game sucks.

[fidolimp]

@InsaneSpectre Fagget cock licker!

[draakjepet]

goede tutorial. Help veel, ik ga ze zeker allemaal kijken

[ResidentEvilSpore]

DF log: day one: what the hell, this is the legendary Dwarf Fortress?

day two: well, I got him to actually do something

day 3: so THAT'S how to mine!

day 4: migrants arriving? cool

day 10: the player has died of dehydration

[mrpringleful]

This game looks...........like shit

[mrpringleful]

@AnimeSongsNetwork I dunno why yall are tripping... i gave my opinion on the game... to me it looks like shit...

[AnimeSongsNetwork]

@mrpringleful It actually looks great O_O There is a nice texture pack for it that actually makes it look like a game but other than that? Well, lets just say its replay ability pawns 98% of the games ever made

[James009D]

@AnimeSongsNetwork What is the texture pack?

[AnimeSongsNetwork]

@James009D Phoebus' Graphics Pack its really great xD you can find it on the bay12 forums

[ratcet13]

@mrpringleful YOU look like shit...

[mrpringleful]

@ratcet13 what u said doesnt even make sense, judge me yet u havnt seen me?? me on the other hand am entitled to judge this game because i have seen it....

[AceOfSpadesX]

cool accent

[Ragman205]

your accent is pretty cool

[niclaseer]

adventure mode? tutorials!

[sagaramille993]

OMG what is this game?! hahahahahahah shit....

[KynBooo]

@sagaramille993 I guess you don't like the game because of its graphic, but a bad graphic game not means it's a shit game...

[keyofdoornarutorscat]

@sagaramille993 That is like saying words have bad graphics.

[jkb0]

@Dumbass0880 lol! this is not true. i like age of empires 2 for example. its graphic is cheap. but the difference is, you can see what's going on! and the other difference is, you don't have to push dozens of times onto the arrow keys, for example

[EpicZantetsuken]

if they gave this game a more user friendly interface, some AAA level polish, and some graphics that made the game more noob friendly, this game would be THE SHIT.

it has sandbox elements, war, trading, diplomacy, epicness on a massive scale, strategic combat, RPG, all packed into one game.

[keinve2]

@EpicZantetsuken Well, remember, its not yet finished; they are, intelligently, focusing on making the game better before making it popular.

Also, google "Lazy Newb Pack Dwarf Fortress"; contains everything a lazy newb needs to get started. Includes an easy install, graphics beyond ASCII, and utilities to help.

[EpicZantetsuken]

@keinve2 the Lazy Newb Pack is actually exactly what i use lol :3

and yeah, i totally understand that the game is still a work in progress (it's not even in Alpha yet), i'm just pointing out the massive potential this game contains. it would become MY LIFE XD

[miauw62]

@EpicZantetsuken The charm is the complexity.

These days, graphics are overrated.

theres a pack to get you started called noob pack or something, it comes whit a tileset, so it isnt the textual interface.

Your turn.

[EpicZantetsuken]

@miauw62 oh yes i'm aware, i've downloaded the pack myself, although i chose to keep the default tileset because i'm afraid i'll become reliant on the other graphics.

[Chrus11231]

This game is so much '!!fun!!'

[PwnDealer]

@RCT3Creator11 Ya, it was. Notch said that Dwarf Fortress and Infiniminer inspired him to make Minecraft.

[FinalZeet]

Is not the ton of options in this game that scares me, the more the bether , is the terrible over complicated infterface :(

[thamastachief]

@FinalZeet I play Dwarf fortress. Sometimes I wish I was a Meth addict instead...

[DasTasche]

Really want to play this game but I don't understand anything.

[DreamHallow]

Minecraft ripoff...

[PirateUlt]

@DreamHallow Before we start a flame war about minecraft, take notice that minecraft didn't even start development until May of 2009. This video was uploaded in 2008. If anything, Minecraft is the ripoff (I am also a Minecraft fan so i think Minecraft is way better than this anyway)

[DreamHallow]

@PirateUlt. I was joking. lol

[PirateUlt]

@DreamHallow Ok it's all good then. But it helps to write 'lol jk' after a joking post to prevent people from mistakenly taking it seriously. it's really hard to pull the mood of what someone is saying from text.

[spinster65]

@PirateUlt well ofcause minecraft is better this is a REALLY old game but still the best of the kind

[Kaiser2700]

@spinster65

Minecraft is not better.

[spinster65]

@Kaiser2700 Well its mroe developed because it is a later dated game But u shouldnt compare DF to minecraft anyway completely differnent consept so there both gr8 games.

[JosephWMicheli]

@spinster65

Dude, the game is still being developed, it isn't old at all. The graphical style is intentional, And a comparison between this game and Minecraft is a bit absurd, they're two very different games and which is the best is entirely subjective.

[spinster65]

@JosephWMicheli look at my other comment i posted this one was missunder stood on my other comment i basicly said exsactly what u said so read other commetns before u start trolling on me pls

[JosephWMicheli]

@spinster65

Take it easy dude, just responding to what you said. Please buy a copy of Fun with Phonics before you start trolling on the English language by posting again though.

[Pr4nz]

@spinster65

You can't compare one of the most complex games in history to minecraft.

Dwarf Fortress first public realease was in 2006 (developed since 2002)

The dev releases the game for free, but works full time since he gets so many donations.

It's that good

[spinster65]

@Pr4nz can people stop replying to this pls ive allready said in other comments this isnot what i mean i keep saying u cant compare this to minecract :|

[christiasoul]

Wow, i ended up coming here after hearing so many that dungeons of dredmor references to this game multiple times...... i first saw it and wondered in amazement HOW DO I PLAY THIS GAME. Then 20 captnduck videos later.... im addicted....help me.... please.....

[lemon2323]

what just happened...



[bunsstar201]

spreek gewoon nederlands kut

[captnduck]

@bunsstar201 Ah rot toch op verrekte mongol.

[bunsstar201]

@captnduck gewoon checken of je nederlands was :D

[FransTeq]

@captnduck

XD

[inyourfacesociety]

@captnduck Behold, people with translators, the average dutch text on the internet.

[L1b3rta]

@bunsstar201 Flikker op hoeren kind. Krijg manieren.

[bunsstar201]

@L1b3rta sorry ik heb all manieren maar heb jij ze vraag ik me af

[ilovesoup12]

@TheMinge1435 Waaaaaaaaaaay before Minecraft...

[jomckellan]

STUPID, HARD, AND GAY

[MNfrostbite]

@jomckellan Sounds like someone's been having alot of fun.

[yannbane]

@jomckellan Hah, you just humiliated yourself so hard... This just proves that you're a cheap stupid faggot.

[aegisfate117]

@yannbane nou

[PwnDealer]

this and minecraft prove that you don't need great graphics to have a great game. Then again, I have absolutely no f***ing idea what to do.

[yksnimus]

@PwnDealer I tried 4 times dude..I gived up

[GamerJelly]

@PwnDealer Yeah, but nigga....

Have you SEEN these graphics?

Minecraft is like Crysis 2 compared to this... Scratch that, Minecraft is Euclideon's Unlimited Detail compared to this...

[matt92hun]

@PwnDealer True, but it helps.

[TheInsaneWombat]

@PwnDealer Build a console that can handle Dwarf Fortress with realistic graphics?

[VallornDeathblade]

@TheInsaneWombat the new Crysis Test...

[zxamike]

@PwnDealer XD i know rigth but i dont know what to do in this one but i do in other RLs :D

[OwNaGeOfDaLiAm]

@TheMinge1435 Yes

[RCT3Creator11]

they say this is one of the bases of Minecraft, but I'm not sure.

[OwNaGeOfDaLiAm]

It's amazing to think that Minecraft was inspired by such a simple game.

[twitcher64]

@OwNaGeOfDaLiAm wut

[OwNaGeOfDaLiAm]

@twitcher64 Minecraft was inspired by Dwarf Fortress and Infiniminer.

[twitcher64]

@OwNaGeOfDaLiAm I knew that. What I was wondering was how is this game "simple" in comparison to minecraft?

[OwNaGeOfDaLiAm]

@twitcher64 I was referring to the processor architecture more than the games logic etc.

[sebaswildboy]

@OwNaGeOfDaLiAm simple? lol

[pumpkinsoul12]

@OwNaGeOfDaLiAm

if this is simple, then its final I am retarded

[OwNaGeOfDaLiAm]

@pumpkinsoul12 By simple, I was referring to the structure and design of the game.

[BombBakers]

good god that's an ugly game!

[twitcher64]

@BombBakers You're missing the point.

[BombBakers]

@twitcher64 probably, but there's a diference betwen bad graphics and... I don't know how to discribe this you can hardly tell what your looking at

[twitcher64]

@BombBakers It's ASCII. It's the stock character library that Windows comes with.

Since this is basically a built-in-the-garage type game, the guy making it couldn't really afford to worry about graphics

[yannbane]

@twitcher64 It is not ASCII, it's ANSI, actually. But you have a point. Also, not that he couldn't do graphics, he probably could (I'm 15 and I can make games with graphics, it's that easy), but there is some beauty in ANSI/ASCII art, and he wanted a text based game.

[Metal0155]

Anyone for a shmoke and a pancake?

[turtlefreak89]

I smell tension between dennis and lordn

[fatescure]

fml... you have a legit tutorial, but i'm having trouble understanding your accent sometimes

[CAC701D]

This looks like the most boring game I've ever seen.

[Wwwmrlol]

@CAC701D Well dont watch it

[CAC701D]

@Wwwmrlol I stopped watching it just after the comment I made, lol.

[Wwwmrlol]

@CAC701D Glad you did as i said

[FroggerbobT]

@dennisnedry You've got shit graphics.

[sammosaurusrex]

I'm trying this again. Didn't understand shit the first time around.

[watertaco]

lekker hollands vent!

[darkwolf811]

Finally starting to get the hang of this... I just need help with getting food. My farm won't grow and I don't know how to hunt.

[FroggerbobT]

@darkwolf811 Muddy farms are needed in DF2010.

[mercury199runner]

you sound kinda like Sam from Lord Of The Rings
