A thing I worked on ()

A few years ago, Kimmo Lemetti (author/artist of Gone with the Blastwave) did a Dwarf Fortress animation and needed someone to do sound for it. So I did sound for it. He finally got around to posting it recently:

It is my understanding that if you are into Dwarf Fortress this animation is hilarious.

I've never heard of 'Dwarf Fortress', but that quite entertained me. Smile

Dwarf Fortress is a city-construction game with a bunch of weird rules and a cult following and a completely inscrutable interface. As the animator explained it to me, the joke in this is that if a cat gets into your fortress, it has a tendency to reproduce. Quickly. So much so that it uses up all your resources and slows the game to a crawl. So you really want to keep cats out of your fortress.

Hmm. Okay. I just liked that the Dwarven warriors with their fortress were terrified of the cat.
