Kickin' off a new series, so I thought I'd share it with my fediverse compadres. I’m also looking for fediverse alternatives for streamers … I’m not really concerned about monetization or anything like that, just looking for alternate places to host my content and someday break the youtube chains.

Plus a FAQ!
crosspost from: https://jlai.lu/post/540712 These are renders of the construction of the main building of Ikûl Tikis, a Ziggurat dedicated to the god of death of this world. The fortress is populated only by vampires after this same god cursed a dwarf in its temple.      In real life, Ziggurat are large temples built by Summerians. Some dubious sources says that they worshiped gods of mountains, and when living away from mountains they would build these temples as literal mountains, which is the most dwarven thing ever. The 3D export was done with [Vox Uristi](https://plule.github.io/vox-uristi) (my own software) and rendered with [MagicaVoxel](https://ephtracy.github.io/). If you have any question or suggestion about Vox Uristi or the fortress, please go ahead! edit: I can't manage to construction timelapse itself - oops, [it can be seen on reddit though](https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/161rkru/7_years_timelapse_of_the_contruction_of_ik%C3%BBl/)

Ready to dig deep? Dwarf Fortress now has a Linux Beta available on Steam, so you can get testing and see what all the fuss is about with this new version.
Release notes for 50.09 (June 28, 2023): In this release, we're updating the engine from SDL to SDL2, and there are many optimizations to go along with it. Aside from the optimizations, SDL2 is also the stepping stone to ports. We have Linux compiling and playable; it just needs some testing. Moreover, there is now a(n experimental) multithreading option in the game settings that makes the game even faster! We also have some new individual tree graphics, and an update to grass ramps as well. This has been mostly the hard work of Putnam! Meanwhile I've started up on adventure mode - the long work of updating menus and adding audio has begun! Hopefully we'll have some progress to show their soon, as we continue updating fortress mode as well. **New stuff** * Updated to SDL2 and made many surrounding changes. Various performance gains! * Experimental multithreading is available from game settings. **Graphics additions/changes** * Some more trees now have individual graphics (maple, willow, cedar, larch, kapok, papaya, macademia.) * Updated some ramp images.
This year the Dwarf Fortress Gladiator Tournament is being run over on the Bay 12 Forum. Come join and have fun reading about your poor gladiator and their struggles. Signups are open until July 5th, 15:00 GMT, but please sign up as soon as you can, since it can take a little while to get on the forum even if I'm monitoring it consistently.
