I bought Dwarf Fortress for Adventure Mode, how much longer should i wait for a game that grossed $9 million?

[Red Heifer]

Just curious, how much money the devs gonna stack before they release the full game or is this just going to be another wait 6 months for the full game type of thing. Wouldn't surprise me.

You bought a product that explicitly states it does not contain the product you were actually buying it for, and now... you're making accusations like this?

Uh... Do not ever sign any piece of paper with your real name without the presence of a paid legal representative to help you. Never do that. Really. It's for the best. Honestly.

Thanks for the legal advice, go ahead and screenshot the location on the store page that admits that the adventure mode isn't available. ill wait.

Right under the big banner that says FORTRESS MODE

Command your dwarves as they search for wealth in their generated mountain. Your dwarves will need a steady supply of food and beer, but they’ll also need your guidance in surviving attacks from hostile civilizations, the wilderness, or even the dead.

Craft treasures and furnitures from various materials
Establish a barony and support the increasingly demanding nobility
Read your dwarves’ thoughts to keep them happy
Build floodgates to divert water for farming, and/or prevent magma mishaps
Build structures and watch your dwarves discover and build their culture, like taverns, libraries, temples, honey, wax, pottery, animal training, bookbinding, and more.

Sorry, I'm playing Ace Attorney Trilogy, so I can't help myself - you just got a penalty from the judge lol.
That's only proof that Fortress Mode is in the game, not that Adventure Mode is missing.

I am still waiting on the wife I bought to make pancakes. Someone should of advertised correctly.

Still, complaining about "missing features" that aren't advertised on the store page or listed as an available in the current build, even if they're included in the (still available) free version, is baseless whining and/or trolling for those sweet Jester awards. It's like complaining a vegan burger doesn't include beef when everybody knows that hamburger equals dead cows.

Everyone's using weird analogies today lol
But yes I agree with you.
But I also think it should say 'coming soon' on the store page, as it does in game.
Not everyone is totally familiar with dorf 4tress.

They were all upfront about the way the are going to handle the port and what modes will be the first ones being translated. If you want to play adventure mode right now download the OG version from their website and use DFHack to throw in some graphics if that might be to your liking.

This is a passion project and as track-records go them devs be not abandoning this lifetime project of a game anytime soon.

It's a pretty stupid judge that would think that something was automatically included if it's not mentioned on the page. Especially when the modes that ARE included ARE mentioned on the page.

But by all means, continue to go off. It's funny. Especially when there's only 2 clicks between the store page and "Hi FOrums full of people who have purchased the game and can tell me something about it, quick question...Adventure mode is not mentioned. Is it in the game?"

It's more so that it ONLY states that they have a fortress mode.

'pretty stupid judge'
Sounds like you have played Ace Attorney after all lol

Adventure mode says coming soon in the game.
It should say coming soon on the store page.
Not everyone knows what Dwarf Fortress is.

Yeah. But this is exactly my point.

I mean I get the mentality of "it's not in the game so don't put it on the store page" I said that like 2 pages ago lol (edit, it turns out i said this in another of the 600 adeventure mode threads lol), but it wouldn't be unusual for an "Adventure Mode - Coming soon!" box and short description right under the description of fort mode.

But aren't you sick of threads like that? It's a near daily occurence and features people going off the chain like riet nao lol.
There'd be significantly less of those threads if there were easier to access information on the subject.
I don't agree with OP's delivery, or even his overall problem with a lack of adventure mode, in the slightest, but it's weirder to not mention the mode at all than to put a 'coming soon' on the store page.

It doesn't take much research or effort to find out that Adventure Mode is not currently available in the Premium build.
But it should take none. Then there's nobody to blame but the consumer.

Is waiting like a few weeks to a few months on that such a hassle? Play Caves of Qud if you want to get that adventure itch fulfilled, or download the OG Dwarf Fortress and put a graphics pack on there. Ez.

The latter option is even free! Wowza!
Also the same adventure mode you would want to see here, eh? Cause it is the same, but not ported over yet.

I'll play devil's advocate and say Caves of Qud isn't exactly the greatest, if not for the Unity drawbacks in the game itself, then for the unreasonable ways the creator has acted, both to fans/customers and potential fans/customers.

So just current modern society but less suburban sprawl in every direction? I'm down for it.
