The graphics look great.

Glad you decided to bring it to steam with graphics.

It'll certainly bring in a broader audience. ASCII is intimidating af if one is unfamiliar with translating those symbols.

The first time I started the game (years ago), I closed it pretty quickly.
Even I did hear about it, I wasn't knowing about the ASCII...
took me by surprise.

After had watch a stream or two of it (not tutorial, just playing),
I got used to it and now, this is like in the movie the Matrix...
I don't see symbols anymore. Just dwarfs, chairs, weapons, monster,
magma etc.

But yeah... this is not for everyone.
I got a friend that just wait for graphic before playing it so this is great.

I expect a lot of complain about other stuff once release...
let's hope we are not going to get too much spam.

I played this in ascii years ago and got into it. Then I stopped playing and came back and couldn't get into it again, because of the graphics. I'm stoked for it now.

like you can get it already for free, hope you are aware.

I am not sure why people thing those graphics are a big thing. There are already "grafics" ... tilesets. From Meph, Spacefox and others.

I can't wait for the game. Do you think the graphics will run on a standard laptop with no graphics card?

I would imagine so. The real issue will be the cpu in the late game. Well "late" game, when all the FUN starts.

I don't remember the tilesets looking this good or presenting the information this clear. Maybe I'm wrong. It has been a long time since I played.

I wish that the downloading of the tileset will be opt-in, or at least for it to be easily removed.

Is it going to be legit graphics or just another tileset?

define legit graphics. They are "legit graphics", which is a tileset.

It seems like the current tilesets just translate ascii into images, and so many objects look weird because they're constructed out of various different ascii characters. And some creatures seem to not have images and end up as letters.

"Legit graphics" I guess would mean things like workshops having their own unique images and all of the different creatures being accounted for.
