While i understand and agree with many of the players asking for features. I can't help but sympathize more with Toady when he says something along the lines of : "Yeah i'd like to add that feature at some point after i'm done with this" ... for the 52nd time in a row

Damn, the production value increase is staggering! I don't believe the editor can have any other name than Urist...

He felt satisfied dwelling upon commenting to the algorithm gods.

Nothing like a new Blind video. FOR THE ALGORITHM

I do wish that unsmoothed floors having the color of the stone they're made of could become a toggleable feature..

Visuals and editing looks great!

Kinda of a weird feeling having my username be read out loud. Also, HELL YEAH I GOT A RESPONSE! I haven't checked the forum in such a long time i had forgotten!

Usually I just listen to these videos on the side but with the new visuals I catch my self looking at the screen more often than not while I work. Nice new visuals!

2:29 Freudian slip! 😀 I love your reads of the Future of the Fortress and I treat them as my main source of news for DF. Great look on your new graphics on the video!

He could be calcium crypt so youd have a dwarf persona like kruggsmash

They call him, "Mr. Scribbs!"

Just name the dwarf whatever your favorite non-Urist dwarf name is.

"Scribbles" the Dwarf

This new look is so much better, even if it takes more effort. Thanks Blind

I love the future of the forts you do blind! The art is an AWESOME upgrade! Unfortunately tbh most of the time I’m on your channel I’m listening not watching. Maybe you should do a KZfaq poll and touch base with your subs to see what the method your subs consume your content. I like your newsletter and I’m def subscribed but only to help support your work and get that juicy bonus interview content. Keep up the good work!

I like the charm of this presentation. Also, there was a mention of a dutchess being kicked from roles. I could have swore in one of my fortresses I had a king as the militia commander like a warrior king.

Tosid Subet-Tathur. Love the new look too!

The visuals looked nice, but I normally only listen to these Future of the Fortress videos (went back after watching when you mentioned the new visuals).

Good video and good news

Love the new look!

The new look is great, props to the artist (and you as well Blind). Much easier to stay engaged during the video. A more historically nerdy suggestion (I'm an archaeologist) for the scribe would be something related to 'Marcus Tullius Tiro'. He was Cicero's scribe who is believed to have developed a shorthand system to record Cicero's speaches. Maybe with a dwarfier version of the name :) Love the videos, even if work getting busy has stopped me catching the streams.

I like the new format! My one suggestion if it is not too much work is to use a generic question mark "avatar" for the questions. I love the little Toady One avatar you made!

The first question made me realize that there are going to be some really funny bugs with M&M; I'm just waiting for someone to come into town and use a spell to do something simple and harmless, like make yourself faster or something idk, then it turns out that that's illegal and now everyone's attacking you lmao

Got DF and played it for the first time when it hit Steam. I love it, but I was so utterly overwhelmed with how much I had to learn. while I wasn't playing, i was reading about the game and watching videos, and it became too much. So I took a break and last month I started playing agian. Having much more fun this time around, I am still spending a lot of time learning, but while I'm playing, it's a lot more enjoyable, and i have gotten deeper into whats going on in my fortress. I'm really looking forward to these updates and testing out mods, but I dont mind the long time lines. I'm am just thankful there's a strong core player base and passionate developer. I'm here for the long haul.

I really love this new style! It's cute and pretty visually appealing! For the name of the editor, well, we have the classic Urist! But this is too common isn't? Maybe Komar Tathur? Or maybe Noth Mishthem? Or... Nekut Zogmåm? Or or! Algo Irid the Scripture Keeper!

Congratz Tarn! Im glad you found love!!!

LOVE the new presentation!

The new presentation looks amazing; and as other commenters have suggested, I think giving the dwarf a puny name like Scribbs or Scribbles would be best :).

For your editor friend I suggest the name Nimak. One because I like the sound of it and two because it is Dwarven for Quill which is quite fitting

Like the new look for FotF videos. The scribes name is Urist Rigòthil (craftword) of course!

I used to play adventure mode off and on in the ascii version and the after the steam release magic is going to be my first big wait. I know its probably off in the future but a magic system in df gets me so excited.

Love the Dwarf Scribe! Maybe all that information you give us will end up in a great Dwarven library and make it into Legends Mode :D

Super informative and fun!

Loving the animations and the editing 10/10

Cool new style and visuals! The note taker looks like a Bomrek to me. Perhaps Bomrek Stickynotes.

I Hope Toady gets to enjoy some summer vibes among this deluge of stuff to do ✨🌊

This art style is super cool!

Visuals look amazing! I love the new look :)

Appreciate the news, as always.

Congratulations. Paljon onnea.

nice change. smart workflow (forum posts < content)

I like the art style. I would call the dwarf The Scribe or The Scholar, depending on what he does

I'm froggin here!

Life changes, the only constant is Tarn slaving away making dwarf fortress…

Skribor (sk-rye-boar) name for the dwarf.

New and improved indeed! 🤩🍺

Holy crap Tarn's getting married? Confuckinggrats! Damn! He really is growing up!

I really like the new look. Perhaps adwarf name that translates to what you think he represents would be best. Like book, or something I dunno, but what name would fit.

BLIND I LOVE IT, IT LOOKS SO GOOD

Love the new look for the future of the fortress. As for the editor dwarf calling him "Sub Scribe" would be a fun way to call out the necessary you tube stuff

Ooh, fancy!

Vabôk Nuraltathur

VERY GOOD!!

praise him

Purchased on release day. Still waiting for a Mac release.

Love the new look. Great work. Nothing against your face, but this is a great improvement for future of the fortress read alongs.

Enjoy the animations!

Scribbles the Scribe

There is only one possible name imo. Urist McScribe.

I think the note taker should be named Scrag.

This is so cute!!

clicked because of the new look

I love the new look

How about Scrivenurist for your little dwarf writer?

I am commenting, and making it relevant.

looks great!

I just want to be able to empty buckets

Cool.

Scribbles is a good name.

Nice new look!

FotF FTW. FOR THE ALGORITHM

Bump for the algorithm.

You should name the dwarf "Paige" :D I have a question about you reading. It seems like sometimes you put different emphasis on random words and I'm wondering why that's happening? Do you cut between different clips of you reading or something? Or is the text far away from the screen you're reading off of so you don't know when sentences end? This isn't a critique I'm just interested. I love your content!

Quillbert the Wordsmith?

I like it

How did Eric capture and breed animal people into his forts?

I like this new format, it's very fitting. The artstyle reminds me Binding of Issac's menus.

This all cool and exciting( adventure mode being released for the second time in my life =) ) But what about military screen? Alerts? Ability to disable this annoying tutorial popups? QoL, basically, one can speak of may things I understand, many new players, etc., but... sometimes i just play good old pre-steam release as it is more complete in ability to control fortress-related features

Engagement comment 🥂

I love the new art style. Way late to the part this time.

Rudur Ivoth okiz
