At the Steam launch PC Gamer collected posts from other developers: Tom Pedalino, who worked on Prison Architect's console Escape Mode, wrote that without Dwarf Fortress there would never have been a Prison Architect; the Terraria account that there "may not have been Terraria"; and the Caves of Qud account called it one of the biggest influences on that game.embedded post, December 6, 2022second paragraphfourth paragraphWeb
