Dwarf Fortress' Adventure Mode Officially Launches This Month

For the better part of two decades, Dwarf Fortress has been the passion project of brothers Tarn and Zach Adams. Although the acclaimed fantasy simulation game has technically remained in development since its debut in 2006, Dwarf Fortress' Adventure Mode will launch out of beta on January 23. The announcement was sent out with the following video, and an update about the latest changes in the game.

Dwarf Fortress allows players to control a clan of dwarves as they stake out their place in a procedurally generated fantasy world. Adventure Mode shakes up the formula by allowing players to step into a roguelike-style RPG and explore the worlds that were created during their time in the standard game. Adventure Mode also allows players to accept quests and look for lost treasures, among other activities.

Tarn Adams and Kitfox's Alexandra Orlando have shared Dwarf Fortress' latest updates on its Steam page. Most of the changes were for Adventure Mode, including enhanced options for character creation, the addition of Adventure Mode's soundtrack to Fortress Mode, and even the option for child and baby portraits.
