Well, graphics have nothing to do with Toady and a portion of the fixes were most likely from Putnam too.
We knew for a while that he wouldn't be back to coding for a while so there should be no surprise here really.

Did anyone promise you adventurer mode in this update?

You understand sprite art and programming/coding are separate things right?

If the devs got their PRIORITIES straight the playership wouldn't be tanking. From 14,098 players down to 1,775 in 4 months.

How many times will this argument be pointed forward and supposedly mean what you are saying it does?

A whole lot of people have been playing DF on and off for many years, getting a couple forts worth of play time after each major update before going off to do other things.
Also, concurrent players means very little in a single player game, even more so one that can be launched in a few seconds, played for a bit, saved and closed, whenever you have some time or idea.

I would even argue that 1.7k concurrent players is a sign that the game is being actively played by more than just a handful of hardcore fans, 14k was just never the sort of number you could envision a game like this having consistently for months anyway.

Dwarf Fortress is not an MMORPG.

Dwarf Fortress is Call of Duty 6

If you are, in fact, interested in knowing the information about what the adventure mode update entails, you can check recent interviews with Tarn Adams. Or even older interviews so that you can learn that Tarn isn't making sprites and was never making sprites.

I'd rather have Adventure Mode overhauled and fixed than have it as it is in DF2014

In before, "RimWorld is nothing like DF!" Yeah, and Counter-Strike is nothing like Valorant, and DotA is nothing like League of Legends.

That's exactly what I'm saying, except RW is a DF clone, obviously.

They should be worried, Alien Dawn has about as much contents as RW back in 2015, and yet they already managed to implement a clothing system that doesn't involve hoarding old socks.
Who should be worried? If you mean DF devs, they shouldn't be, and won't be.
