Hey Urists, A short update this week as we prepare to head to Germany for Gamescom. While art and audio and other developments for Adventure Mode continues, we also have two much-anticipated updates coming soon(ish) for Fortress Mode. The Linux version is almost ready, and in about two weeks we will be looking for beta testers, after Tarn gets back from Germany... in fact, it's already on the [b]Public Beta Branch[/b]! A patch in the works will also soon give you the ability to view all reports, pausing when a new announcement is added, and viewing a particular creature’s reports. I also heard rumors of giant animals, but those must be further off on the horizon. I guess I can already see them coming because they’re so big. Kitfox will be at Gamescom this year with Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud and the soon-to-be-released [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2278010/Six_Ages_2_Lights_Going_Out/]Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out[/url]. Tarn Adams will be at the Kitfox booth from 2-4pm every day of the show to meet you! You can find us at booth 91 in the Indie Arena Booth. We can’t wait to meet you in person! We are also hosting an after-party on Thursday August 24th from 6-10pm. Join us for an evening on the Rhine with food, drink and tavern tales among Urists. Meet Tarn and pixel artist Carolyn (ask her about procedural faces!).
