Hey everyone!
As we mentioned in the last update, Tarn and Zach have been busy attending an academic conference and PAX West this past week. So no new progress reports, but we DO have recordings of the two panels they were on!
[h1]Dwarf Fortress LIVE panel [/h1]
Interview with Tarn Adams and Zach Adams, the co-creators of Dwarf Fortress, and Victoria Tran of Kitfox Games, about the commercial release of DF, its past and its future - all structured around a live game of Dwarf Fortress.

[h1]System Design, on Fire, All the Time: Controlling Chaos[/h1]
How do you design for chaos? Join designers from Dwarf Fortress, Destiny 2, Into the Breach, Industries of Titan, King of Dragon Pass, and Six Ages in discussing how to handle system-driven design. Whether it’s a world that’s procedurally generated or creating rules of asymmetrical multiplayer, deep systems make design, playtesting, and the whole game dev process more interesting—but also full of surprises…

It was also just great meeting a ton of you at PAX! We had so many people telling the brothers the stories of their forts and asking for pictures, it filled my heart with warm fuzzy feels. Thanks for all the support!
