Greetings, Viceroys! We’re excited to be back with a new Against the Storm update! With the dust settling from the 1.0 release, we have been able to spend some more time working on new features and improvements. What’s new: Unique portraits for all traders New decorations New orders New sound effects Notifications with auto-pause reason New Forbidden Glade icon And many more! You can find the full list of changes and our thoughts below.
Dwarf fortress is genre defining, but it’s a different genre, colony simulation.
Factorio pretty much single handedly inspired the entire genre of automated factory games. Most of the others explicitly cite Factorio as inspiration or have clear influences from it.
Some credit to be given to the Minecraft redstone mod, of course.
Factorio is exemplary, but hardly genre creating. They’re just base building games.
If anything has defined the genre for the modern generation it’s Dwarf Fortress.
And DF has over 20 years of active development. Nothing can compare to it.
