Dwarf Fortress interview
If you’ve lately caught yourself thinking “man, it would be great to hear an interview with that guy who made Dwarf Fortress,” then you’re in luck. Because right here is an awesome interview with Tarn, the guy who makes Dwarf Fortress.
The podcast lasts about 90 minutes and the interviewer seems to have more than a cursory amount of knowledge about the game, which is always nice. Topics covered include animal castration, midget facial hair, the roots of dwarves in mythology, procedural generation and its increasingly significant role in gaming, Spore and Maxis, the future of the industry, old tabletop roleplaying games, and some questions from the Something Awful forums. It’s well worth a listen.
