Support the project ► https://www.patreon.com/on_doubt or ► https://www.paypal.me/ondoubt I interviewed Zach and Tarn Adams in Silverdale - the full video of which will be released on April 6th, 2018. Here's a teaser to document the unlikely depths in procedural generation, life simulation and imagination happening in the minds of Zach and Tarn. It shows Dwarf Fortress' fractalian approach to game design and content creation - digging ever deeper and deeper. #ondoubt publishes videography portraits with creative minds of all fields.
