what made you want to start a dwarf game, why do all game developpers do this? Why not try elves or anything else? I just don't get it at all is it ease, the thought that dwarves are the most popular because their fans are loud? Because the tropes tell you that you cannot use anything other than a dwarf for a building/mining game?

And no I hate dwarf fortress more so because it's one of the reasons the game industry is full of dwarven games

There's something cozy about digging a refuge from the outside world. I like geology and dwarves. People like different things. Too bad your hatred is so deep, the mod makes it an excellent elven civilization game.

How do you come to the conclusion that "all" indie game developers make dwarf games and that you are forced to play?

What about gnomes?

then why constantly use the exact same race? Why no have elves or even goblins? It seems all the people who make games are obsessed with dwarves with no exception.

You can probably see almost all indie games only have dwarfs and nothing else, we players are being forced to constantly play the same thing because devs are too obsessed or uncreative to make anything even remotely new or daring. Gnomes are not shoved constantly into players face so there is no gnome fatigue.

And what would it take to make you try giving elves a chance in your games?

Because I like dwarves and I never made a dwarf game  Also elves digging underground cities doesn't make sense to me. Goblins would be cool, thinking of doing a goblin game too one day.

No I can not see "almost all indie games only have dwarfs and nothing else". Are we looking at the same website? Do you have all search filters turned off? I have the feeling you are the one obsessed by dwarves.

It would take a big paycheck to do things I don't like in my free time, instead of having fun and enjoying my artistic freedom.

but everybody is making dwarf games, we have thousands and it keeps growing every single months. Why not use elves in an underground game, why not break the rules? Also i see you didnt answer my last question what would it take to make you try giving elves a chance in your games?

I and many others see a lot of games about dwarves and not much else, i dont just talk about this website but the whole indie industry. And at the same time races like elves get nothing at all, you cannot find a single elf game anywhere (and before you find me some random unfinished demo think about a game you would enjoy).

I just cannot understand why only developpers love dwarves that much and all hate elves. How come everyone is  thinking in the exact same way?

woodsmoke is making this game in their free time for fun and i really love their artstyle and creativity. If you want an elf game so badly, go make one yourself or fund it instead of harassing indie devs who owe you nothing. Let them enjoy their artistic freedom.

he was just chatting with someone why do you attack him like this?
