This game still looks graphically horrible.

Someone please give it a modern face lift.

[Teemo]

This is the modern facelift.

It could really benefit from some animations, or at least letting use rotate the sprites. Hate it when my dwarves phase through the giant ass carpenter table, or when beds look weird as ♥♥♥♥ since I can't rotate it

Great, thanks for your input

This is still just a tileset, similar to those available for years for the classic DF. Granted this new tileset is taking advantage of some new features Toady has put in place.

Well, the game area is still just a tileset, I suspect the UI menus are a new graphic overlay on the game. This overlay is likely one of the things that is Premium version exclusive. Meaning the classic version will get access to the ability to make a similar tileset, and use those features, but will probably not have the nicer GUI. If someone adds that on to classic version, it'll like be a coded from scratch solution. (or possibly adapted from something else)

For a start it needs the scaling issues fixed so it at least looks ok on monitors that are not 20 years old.

You look graphically horrible OP

Art is hard
Sincerely - an artist who got sick of trying to make game art and just made big breasts for weirdos instead.

I agree with a lot of current complains about this version of the game, but graphics really aren't on the list outside of maybe rotating some objects would be nice and I'm pretty sure some textures are still missing, but the devs know that. In fact, OP, as someone who's played everything from Cyberpunk to Red Dead 2, I think the game looks really good.

I got it to work fine on my 1440p monitor, I had to play around with the in-game settings since it was cutting things off. You can manually fix it, but yes they need to have the game detect your resolution and auto-adjust scale like other games all do.

The Art itself and style are nice for 2d sprites IMHO, but art is subjective.

Yeah, that hotfix seemed to make those issues easier to fix, but completely agree that there is work to be done to make it simpler for people to get it correct.

If you’re playing a game like this for the cutting edge graphics, you’re actually doing it wrong.

[dreadmaster]

The game is not only incapable of supporting in depth animations it is unnecessary. The graphical and GUI upgrades lower the entry wall for the game which was the point. If you don't understand this than the product is not for you. It is a complex game not a cutting edge piece of graphical fidelity.

[Skywalker]

It's not going to help you if it would look better graphically.
Looks fine now compared to the free version and even better with the original version which seems almost tokenistic.
No, that that was because Tarn couldn't do otherwise, and it looks crap and have never played with this.
Might have been acceptable for the mathematical Tarn that he is, but worthless for the common man.
The core is about food and drink in dwarf fortress, because the dwarves cannot live without it.
Then if the dwarves don't die immediately, you can move on to expand their fortress, but if you're not attacked from outside the fortress, then things can happen inside the fortress itself that cause the dwarves' death.
