Dwarf Fortress, an ancient video game that doesn’t even have an objective release date, recently received a gaming-changing update, which made the game much more friendly to newcomers.
As a game that “has been around forever and will be around forever”, Dwarf Fortress has never been the most welcoming experience for the average, curious player. However, the latest patch was literally “game-changing”, because it was the first time Dwarf Fortress provided a proper Tutorial for the players.
Co-creator Zach Adams stated on Steam,
Dwarf Fortress has the well-earned title of being one of the most torturous games to learn. There is a lot going on, even after we changed all the ridiculous keyboard commands and replaced the Matrix-like interface with some understandable, and awesome, pixel art. It still needs something. Something to ease the need to head straight to a wiki just to understand what’s going on. The answer is the tutorial of course.
Hence the long-waited tutorial.
The new tutorial consisted of initial greetings and guides to basic actions including woodcutting and stockpiling resources.
