Dwarf Fortress is the original inspiration for games like RimWorld, Prison Architect, and Minecraft. It’s one of the first video games to be acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and it continues to be updated by the dedicated brothers Tarn “Toady One” and Zach “Threetoe” Adams after over 16 years of development.
