The second game mode, Adventure mode, is a turn-based, open-ended roguelike where the player starts off as an adventurer in the world and is free to explore, complete quests, or even visit old abandoned fortresses. Each dwarf is modeled down to its individual personality, has likes or dislikes and specific trainable skills in various labors, alongside a lovelife system and distractions. The main game mode, Fortress Mode, consists of selecting a suitable site from the generated-world, establishing a successful colony or fortress, combating threats like goblin invasions, generating wealth and taking care of the dwarves. Before being played, the player has to generate worlds with continents, oceans and histories documenting civilizations. The game has text-based graphics and is open-ended with no main objectives. The game influenced Minecraftand was selected among other games to be featured in the Museum of Modern Art to show the history of video gaming in 2012. Critics praised its complex, emergent gameplay but had mixed reactions to its difficulty. The primary game mode is set in a procedurally generated fantasy world in which the player indirectly controls a group of dwarves, and attempts to construct a successful and wealthy fortress. Freeware and in development since 2002, its first alpha version was released in 2006 and it received attention for being a two-member project surviving solely on donations. Dwarf Fortress (formerly Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress, referred to as DF) is a part construction and management simulation, part roguelike, indie video game created by Tarn (Toady One) and Zach Adams (ThreeToe).
