I played URW too.it never got into the early 90s, having first been released in 2006. you're thinking about UnReal World (and are wrong about that too). more to the point, the dorf fort boys constantly develop it in new interesting directions - but maybe those just don't appeal to you (or maybe you're just unaware, being so comitted to being pompous about it).
I thought DF was made later, but it was as if made by someone stuck in the 90s, and even URW definitely looks better. (DF actually looks like the Empire game developed in the early 70s for ascii terminals... played that too.)
Sometimes the mind is stuck in time and shuts down to outside developments, that's what I was aiming at. What would the DF boys say about Unreal Engine 5? Is it good for a fully 3D DF conversion? That's what I'm talking about.
Note how fans trying to make up for DF shortcomings already built some UE visualization tools for DF. This should be normal and expected from any game dev. You can't just thumb your nose and say to the fans "I don't wanna" or "it's not in the Vision(tm)". Any other dev would be roasted over this, but not the DF boys who are special, beyond ANY criticism, and protected by their fan guard.
Anyway, I wish you fine DF fans and others a very Happy New Year.
Here are some DF themed pictures.
