Latest version of Dwarf Fortress is live
 

www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

The website is borked right now from so many hits.

I'm most of the way through the Complete and Utter Newb tutorial, so I'm looking forward to being confounded by the regular ASCII and updated engine when I'm finally done.

It actually happened? I can't believe it.

Oh well, guess Ill try downloading it later as I have a feeling this build is just an april fools joke.

I have the new build.
It's not a joke.

I've already tried out the arena function too! Cat with all combat skills to max versus a dragon with all skills to none.

The cat ended up with it's upper body... well, vanished.
For some reason, I could not stop laughing.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my Dwarves won't build buildings. =/
I honestly have NO idea if I'm doing something wrong, or if the build is, indeed, borked.

Site being down makes me terribly sad.

You goddamn tease, TWG. I'm going to be here all day, just refreshing that page till I get through. :(

Maybe finally releasing a new build and then borking the site so no one can get it is the joke.

If someone who actually got it (TWG or Melfice, maybe?) can manage to send it to me, I can mirror it for everyone else (Dropbox) until the site returns.

Edit: Actually got the site up for a moment and the thing downloaded. This should be it.

For best results, use the torrent. Thing downloaded in like 10 seconds.

I downloaded the updated version; but I am going to wait until someone releases a tileset that is slightly easier on the eyes. I don't know what any of those crazy ASCII symbols mean
