Hello Patrons,
Here is the third episode in our four-part series on the Story of Dwarf Fortress. In this one we cover the development of the Steam version - how Kitfox Games supported the brothers, what they learned about their game while attempting to make it more accessible, and what happened when the dust settled on two decades of development after the Steam launch.

00:56 - Coming to Steam
05:30 - Menus
08:42 - Graphics
13:30 - Launch
15:33 - Success
22:41 - Life after Launch
30:18 - CREDITS
We hope you enjoyed episode three, and the series so far. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Great work as always. FYI it's Pike Place market, not Pike's place (@ around 27 minutes). Seattleites will grumble about that a lot :)

2025-03-28 17:02:38 +0000 UTCIncredible. I was at GDC too last week and was talking to Derek Yu about how I was happy to get away from the Dwarf Fortress edit and suddenly he points past me and says "oh, there's Tarn now". It was both awesome and a surprise to see him there. But the coolest part was I got to see Derek and Tarn meet for the first time - both of whom knew each other's work really well. Tarn is awesome. And GDC is too.

2025-03-27 06:17:44 +0000 UTCGreat episode, the bank transfer section was quite fun. I was at GDC last week to support a couple friends doing a talk. One of them, Colin, had setup a meeting with Tarn because he was working on his own epic procedural generation game and wanted to pick Tarn's brain. His meeting was at 2pm. He was supposed to join us for the GDC Awards but he didn't make it. After the awards got out we were joking that since Colin loves to talk and I was pretty sure he'd hit it off with Tarn they might still be talking. At about 9pm we get a text and sure enough Colin just kept talking to Tarn to the point that they grabbed dinner together π

I've been part of something. That I've witnessed something profound. Even though I haven't played a single second of DF. Well done, lads. Give yourselves a nice pat on the back for this one. Can't wait for the finale. Just: Thank you!
