    I thought they'd never do it, but the Adams' are finally releasing Dwarf Fortress (AKA Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress) on Steam and Itch.io sometime in the future with an official tile set. According to them the free version is NOT IN DANGER, but there's so many hours of fun to be had it's definitely worth the price of a donation or purchasing it on one of those platforms. It would be nice to see it get a huge uptake on Steam or something just to show how popular these type of indies can be.

    Unfortunately, the main reason they're pursuing this is a bit of a sad view into the state of medical care in the US.
    I for one am definitely plunking down some cash for this, no release date yet though.
