Beta live now on Steam! Create a character and freely roam the rich simulated world in Adventure Mode. Dwarf Fortress on Steam: https://bit.ly/2PY0P0wTo acce...
As a fan of Adventure mode in the legacy version of the game for years, I am excited for the new changes and mechanics that have been in the Steam version since release but in Adventure mode.
Is it a public beta or something I can just click on in the beta tab?
I have! Can’t butcher things yet which I forgot and also forgot animal people have the food needs of their animal base so maybe I should have started with a goblin adventurer that needs no food or water instead of the eagle woman.
I still wish and hope we get goosemen someday.
I need to be a very naughty horrible goose stealing everyone’s items!
It’s very different. I’ve only just created a party and watched some tutorials, but I have a general idea of what it’s going for, and it’s nearly the polar opposite of fortress mode.
As the other has said, adventurer mode is very different. You control only yourself and a few others at most. You must worry about food and drink and sleep every day instead of it being every so often for dwarves. There is much less about what to do (currently, demigods/chosen will have more godly influence on them maybe?) so you make your own existence.
Oh, man, I’m looking forward to trying this. Anyone given it a shot, yet?

On steam, properties, then beta, then the public test branch beta, if I’m remembering the order right

How does it compare to traditional DF?
