Thanks for all your help, dudes!

Watermaster: A Dwarf Fortress Short Fort

At the base of a mountain far, far away, lives a small clan of dwarves who seek to tame a tiny brook and transform it into a formidable weapon.  Today we'll be playing with Dwarf Fortress waterworks! This is part one of a "short series" and I do not know how long it'll end up being, but here's hoping it won't be too long, heh.

Well, i'd like your feedback, my most bearded of bastards. It did end up being a bit different than usual.

New intro part #2

Made by Der2doug- https://www.fiverr.com/der2doug

Hey, back to what I had said at the beginning of this work cycle. I hope you guys aren't expecting a regular short fort. It will be different than usual because of this new process. Just reeeeally trying to moderate expectations a little bit.

New Short Fort intro bit

Syke. Looks like we might have a new intro on the way after all.

This time I won't be making it though. I've hired on the help of Der2doug (https://www.fiverr.com/der2doug) who has watched these videos in the past and looks to be doing a great job so far. Gonna be sharing a couple bits here and tentatively hoping this comes together by next week's upload, but I suppose we shall have to wait and see.

Watchful Eyes Gallery #5

 I really tried my best to cut down on pictures in some areas and only draw the more poignant events this time. I'd say it worked out pretty well and I haven't heard any complaints yet, so that's good. Not sure if it was much easier overall, just due to the crazy action scenes, but it was at *least* more entertaining (for me).

Was weird drawing Beetlebane again. Anyone else notice how she actually approached The Watchful Eyes when they met? What's the chance that she woul dbe the...

I'm still alive. Got an update here.

(pic-backyard view from a couple weeks ago)

Whew, the last time I posted here was on the 12th? I think thats the longest i've gone without posting anything here for you beautiful bastards. Sorry for the radio silence, but I really tried to take this last off-week off for real and just kinda ended up rolling forward into the work.

Anywho, regarding the videos, the next Watchful Eyes episode is on track to be done by Thursday. but since Murderhall i've been doing some big thinki...

 Just realized I hadn't posted this yet! Man, I got a problem when it comes to drawing pictures. I don't necessarily feel like I have to do so many, I just really want to. A sickness I tell ya. Prooobably going to try to tone it down *slightly* in the next few installments. This Particular episode was rather intense, even for me. I'm a slave to the work sometimes. It's a weird thing, but I hope it's fun to watch :)

 Taking on a bit more of a casual style with this video here in an attempt to do 5 of these in 5 days. I've really wanted to try out the new version of DF and so we're going to be doing just that.  Lemme' know what you think of this thing. Good/bad, any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks again for all you do, m'dudes

Changing things up for next week

 For next week's video, I was thinking of doing something a little different. As it is, these past two have taken a *lot* of work to get done and if i'm going to do another in the same style, it'd really eat into my off week, which I think I kinda of need at this point.

So, I had an idea of trying to make some videos with a low-ish amount of editing to see if I could do one a day till Thursday. Really old school, steelclutches type of stuff. I know it wouldn't have the same appea...

Little update

 Was really trying to make up for the day and a half lost with that last episode but it's not really panning out so well. Most likely going to be another late upload due to it. Just figured i'd give you a heads up early on.

Edit: Oh and also we're getting absolutely dumped on with snow tomorrow. That'll take some doing to clear away I imagine, heh.

I made a dwarf guy out of a modified knight figure and some epoxy putty the other day on my off week. Made a mold of it and cas...

Watchful Eyes Gallery #3

 As much trouble as I had with this episode, I can't help but like it I gueeesss. I think one of the most poignant moments was when Imiwa found the goblin helm near that necromancer. That moment by itself really pulled the series together in my mind. Goblins only joined Scorchfountain's forces after Moldath conquered their cave. They were then sent out after Chamberpoint. Now we find a dead goblin who clearly works for The Abbey of Proliferation amongst this random necromancer's junk. I ...

The Watchful Eyes Ep.3: Alive with the Dead

The Watchful Eyes continue on their trek in the far north of Orid Ashi. Through ruins and woodlands they hunt their foe, the vile necromancers. But every victory has a cost- will theirs be a price too high?

Thanks for all your patience with this one, guys. Glad to know you have my back.

This past weeks been a struggle. I rant about it slightly at the end of the video.

A Friday sort of week

Gonna be a Friday upload sort of week for episode 3 of The Watchful Eyes, m'bastards. I don't think i've had so many recording slip-ups in a single episode before. Don't really want to rush the darn thing either so I figure an extra day couldn't hurt all that much. Thanks for your patience. Here, watch this fishdance.

Side note: I posted this in my community tab on YT 4 hours ago and only one person has seen it. Thats..strange.

Dwarf Fortress Metal Generator

 Hey, I saw this utility pop up on reddit a while back and have been dying to use it. i figure i'd share it here just in case anyone wants to take a stab at it. This thing generates unique metals in dwarf fortress with all sorts of wacky properties. It even generates advances metal interactions so you can make super strong stuff like steel. A nice way to add flair to any game. Here's some that I generated for a world i've been messing around in-

Man oh man. Like, you know how I sometimes get over excited and overproduce videos sometimes? Well, this is the biggest jump in overall quality I think i've ever taken on in a series. Between year 1 and two there's just been soo much more. More pics, more editing, a *lot* more thought on story and all that. It's been taxing but rewarding. That being said, originally I had planned for this whole thing to be ove...
