Hey!
It's Alexandra again from Kitfox with a bit of dwarfy news. I know I said last time things were going to be a bit slow, but we still have a few things to share. We wanted to show you what a fully generated world looks like and Jacob has created a map legend with all new sprites!

This is a medium sized world and we are still working on a few visual details here. You'll notice there are no caves for example, because they end up being very numerous and mess up the look a bit. The rivers are also a little wonky at the moment but they will be fixed. The underworld spire goblin cities should be distinguished - right now they look like the regular goblin forts (in ASCII, these were the difference between dark magenta and the much rarer light magenta symbols).
In our next update, we will be sharing a roadmap of what is left to do and approximate time it will take to finish. These aren't going to be firm, but we want to be as transparent as we can about development.
See you next time!
- Alexandra + Bay 12
P.S.
An earlier version of this post said the sprites had been created by Patrick. I later edited it to reflect the correct artist, Jacob. Sorry about that to both artists!
