As I have said before, this looks great! I like the Dark Dwarf. Do you have a backstory for them? Such as Dwarves driven mad by greed? (just like Thráin father of Thorin)

As Bleak said, they're just placeholders. It's been a while since I last really worked on graphics for the game, so any lack of updates can mostly be attributed to me. I am currently working on an enemy, but it's going to have to wait until after GGJ weekend.

I've been pretty slow with updates to this game, sorry. It's not dead, just a bit dormant as we gear up for the kickstarter XNA isn't "dead," it just isn't supported on Windows 8. But seriously, who cares about windows 8? If push comes to shove I might port it over to Monogame or Unity.

every time i read this i want to die. Unless microsoft breaks backwards compatibility with almost every graphical app written in the past 5 years, XNA will continue to work. Just because there isn't an active development team doesn't mean it's not a good framework or that it's dead, and this isn't even considering how well monogame is doing.

So I've been working on generating nicer room furniture using templates and random sampling. It's not great, but it's better than the algorithm I had before (which just put furniture at regular intervals): It prefers to put lamps near corners, tables with free squares around them, and tables near beds. The top room is a "common room" which just has tables, and the other two are "bedrooms" which have beds, tables and lamps.

I want to fornicate with you on one of the beds in that screenshot, and then on all of the tables.

I think that's desirable, but it will come later. The model I'm working off here is Dungeon Keeper 2, which has furniture populated by room type + special items that are crafted and put in place by the player (like traps, doors, etc.) That way the player didn't have to put down every bookshelf in the Library, or every bed in the Lair, but had control over where they put traps and doors, etc. I think I will end up making it possible to move items, but not necessary for the player to do so. One of the most annoying parts of dwarf fortress was putting every seat + table + bed in place one by one. But some players like doing this! What I'm thinking right now is: 1. place a room. The items will be populated automatically using the algorithm I devised. 2. If you want, you can select the objects and move them. A dwarf will come and grab the item and move it. 3. If you build a "workshop", you can then build and place crafted items. Dwarves will automatically go to the workshop, build the item, and then put it in place.

Made a shitty programmer art balloon (which will be used to ferry supplies and dwarves to and from the land for trade).
