With Adventure mode squared away, Dwarf Fortress is entering a 'new era of development' as its devs shift focus toward future features

A lineup of different sprites created for Dwarf Fortress' Adventure Mode.

Last month, the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress received the long-awaited addition of its absentee roguelike Adventure Mode after a lengthy beta period. The fan-favorite feature from the game's ASCII era allows players to venture the vast, procedural wilderness as a lone, probably doomed wanderer. Today, Dwarf Fortress publisher Kitfox Games announced via a Steam news post that Adventure Mode's return signalled a "new era of development," detailing the plans that Dwarf Fortress's creators have for its future now that they've brought its past to the present.

"Now that both modes have been updated for the Steam version, we can focus on quality of life fixes, more modding support and brand new features Tarn’s been excited to add," Kitfox said. "We will be busy with Dwarf Fortress development for a long time!"
