    Is that supposed to be impressive?

    It'd be better if it was 3d and the sprites were oriented to always face the camera

    At this rate, it'll go 3D in about 30 years.

    Awesome. Well, unless it hogs resources so you get slowdowns with huge fortresses.

    All games should go back to 2.5D, with hand drawn scenery and sharp bitmap characters.

    Nice. Let me know when this game actually has some user interface which is not a Cthulhu-spawned clusterfuck, and I just might play it.

    Hand draw me some fucking Arcanum or Ultima 7, bitch.

    Fuck hand drawn crap, only tiled worlds are real.

    The game is already 3d, just not in it's graphics engine. 3D might be ugly but it'll work a hell of allot better that Iso. Don't be such graphics whores.

    ...released BEFORE the game even goes gold via the AndhairaX Content Delivery Platform.

    On topic, the more I think about it the less sense it makes. DF is very "layer-centric" game. Having isometric view achieves only pimping the tower you built aboveground or some shit like that.

    Ridiculous. It worked much better in overhead view. What a real great thing to happen....
