ok here's my Dwarf Fortress story:

back in 2014 I started dating @bravemule and something like a few weeks in, they mentioned this big online art project they'd made with some friends. They were VERY sheepish about it, to start but eventually they showed me some clips of Matul Remrit and I read some of it, and I thought they were very cool for making something so elaborate and spanning so much time, and with collaborators, to boot. I had never heard of Dwarf Fortress because I didn't play much that wasn't Skyrim or The Sims, so at one point Kevin set up the game on my laptop and generated a world for me (I thought this was VERY neat). I have very little recollection of what happened to my dwarves, but I think there was a flood... It didn't end well.

years later we were at an event at GDC and Kevin was VERY nervous because they found out Tarn Adams was going to be there, too. And then of course, after being introduced and chatting, Tarn is one of the best people we know in games. Beyond happy for all the excitement around the Steam release today, it's so, SO deserved.

Matul Remrit endures!! Dwarf Fortress!! Go buy it on Steam!!!!
