Is DF still being developed or wasn’t it completed and released with those more modern textures sometime ago?

No it’s still being developed. They recently added dinosaurs and are now working on magic updates.
At this point it’ll probably keep being developed β€˜til Tarn Adams (the lead dev) kicks the bucket.

So a few more decades probably. I wonder if their code is readable or very spaghetti from this many years of work

Will they add other paleobiota?

Edit: Still needs Ediacarans…

As long as that’s in the interest of adams and fits into the game well ig

So apparently, that update added some creatures from every Period in the Phanerozoic.

Maybe they’ll add ediacaran biota one day aswell?

Well Putnam (the other programmer of df) has done an interview on it:

I was about to say so, but yeah it’s cool

Are the dinos feathered or no?

Someone is eventually going to add more paleocreatures, either as an official update, or as a mod.

Are there fantasy paleocreatures aswell?

They specifically didn’t add giant paleocreatures because it could lead to confusion on size; all of them are based on real species. But they did add paleocreature-man variants.

How do such hybrids even get created? Regular hybrid way, or magic?

The animal men just spawn in at world creation from a template and are treated as a seperate species currently.

A lot of them do, but some of the bigger ones like T. Rex don’t.
