The DF might stand for Double Fine or Dwarf Fortress, and either way I'm down.

So Double Fine just announced this.

It's Called Space Base: DF-9

It is basically Dwarf Fortress. In space. By Double Fine.

And it's available on Steam Early Access right now.

From the RPS interview:
LeBreton: As an example of one of the bad things that can happen, some of the people who’ll immigrate to your base, you might not know where they’ve come from. You can look in their spacebase log. and it might occasionally say, “Yeah, I’m just not feeling right. Must be something I ate, I guess.” And then, before long, boom, you get a parasite bursting out of them. And now you’ve got this horrible carnivorous monster loose in the base.

So yeah, that's rad.

    the game looks like a more double fine-y version of this game, which I can be down with pretty easily

    I think trying to match the raw insanity of Zach and Tarn Adams is an utterly doomed proposition but I admire them for trying and a crazy DF-esque game made by actual humans could be great

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    A couple guys at the office are playing it right now.

    Some of these chicken people are sketchy as hell.

    "OH WHAT A BOUNTIFUL SUPPLY OF MATTER YOU HAVE THERE. WE ARE NOT PIRATES OR RAIDERS AT ALL, PLEASE LET US DOCK AND WE CAN BE FRIENDS WITH YOU AND ALL OF YOUR BOUNTIFUL MATTER, BECAUSE WE ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT PIRATES."

    Haha apparently it's a bug where everybody's portrait is a chicken person.

    Everybody everywhere is chicken people.
