商品描述

Dwarf Fortress (DF) has a reputation as the most complex video game ever made. The game is a construction and management game, with a complex physical modeling engine that belies the crude ANSI graphics. All aspects of the world are modeled, tracked, and affect gameplay: everything from weather patterns, erosion, the flow of magma, the movement of small animals, and the accumulation of garbage. Sound like fun? Apparently it is, but there’s a huge learning curve at the outset. This concise real time book will dampen the curve and serve as a gentle primer on DF gameplay. It’s not really a game guide so much as a celebration of an improbable manifestation of geek culture.

In July 2011, the NY Times Magazine (and BoingBoing) featured the game in an article “The Brilliance of Dwarf Fortress.” Creator Tarn Adams sees DF as his life’s work; he predicts a version 1.0 release in twenty years or so.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《Dwarf Fortress》(DF)被譽為有史以來最複雜的電子遊戲。這款遊戲是一款建造和管理遊戲,擁有一個複雜的物理建模引擎,儘管使用了粗糙的ANSI圖形。遊戲模擬世界的各個方面,追蹤並影響遊戲玩法:從天氣模式、侵蝕、岩漿流動、小動物移動,到垃圾的累積。聽起來很有趣嗎?顯然是,但一開始會有一個巨大的學習曲線。這本簡潔的實時書籍將幫助您減緩曲線,並作為對DF遊戲玩法的初步介紹。它不僅僅是一本遊戲指南,更是對一種不可思議的怪胎文化的慶祝。



2011年7月,《紐約時報》雜誌(和BoingBoing)在一篇名為《Dwarf Fortress的燦爛之處》的文章中介紹了這款遊戲。創作者Tarn Adams將DF視為他的終身事業;他預計在大約二十年後發布1.0版本。
