Zach and Tarn Adams - Dwarf Fortress Design Inspirations
This talk is from the 2016 Roguelike Celebration: https://roguelike.club/event.html, re-uploaded 2021.
The creators of Dwarf Fortress discuss the influence of several roguelikes on the foundation and continued development of the project.
Tarn and Zach Adams are the co-founders of Bay 12 Games. Their main project is Dwarf Fortress, a fantasy simulation game which is distributed free of charge and has developed a strong niche following. While centered around a dwarven colony mode, the game's adventure mode is a traditional roguelike roleplaying game.
