Bay 12 Games 和發行商 Kitfox 宣佈，由於遊戲的成功，他們已經從《矮人要塞》Mod 社區聘請了遊戲的第二位程序員。
Mod 製作者 Putnam 目前已經成為《矮人要塞》團隊的全職程序員，他是Tarn Adams 和 Zach Adams 兄弟後團隊的第三位成員。Tarn 此前一直都負責所有的編程工作，而 Zach 則擔任該項目的製作人，並和 Tarn 一起設計遊戲功能。
Putnam 因其對遊戲 Mod 的貢獻在玩家社區中有著不小的名氣，他曾創建過能夠將現實中的材料加入遊戲中的腳本工具 DFHack，還為遊戲的維基做出了巨大貢獻。Putnam 還因其將《矮人要塞》轉化為《龍珠Z》和《Homestuck》世界而聞名。
After 20-some years of working as a solo programmer, Dwarf Fortress (opens in new tab) developer Tarn Adams will have a second pair of hands in there. Bay 12 Games and publisher Kitfox have announced that due to Dwarf Fortress' success a second programmer has been hired from the longstanding Dwarf Fortress modding community. Modder Putnam has been hired has a full-time programmer for Dwarf Fortress, making Putnam the third member of the DF team following brothers Tarn and Zach Adams. Tarn has historically done all the programming, while Zach serves as a producer for the project and designs game features alongside his brother. "This is a historic moment, as never before have non-Adams eyes seen the Dwarf Fortress code," noted Kitfox. Putnam is known among the Dwarf Fortress community for his contributions to modding, like a tool that converts real-world materials into Dwarf Fortress and scripts for popular mod DFHack, and is a name I'm at least familiar with from long hours perusing the Dwarf Fortress Wiki. Putnam is also known for their work on mods converting Dwarf Fortress into worlds like Dragonball Z and Homestuck. In addition to Putnam, Kitfox has brought on streaming creator SalfordSal to join their community team. She'll be hosting streams on the Kitfox Twitch channel and helping out with the community Discord. Alongside the announcement, Dwarf Fortress released its classic mode for the premium Steam release, which shows the game in its old-school ASCII glyph glory. Delightful. As always, the original edition of the game is free on Bay 12 Games' website, while the Steam release is $30—though the classic branch hasn't yet updated with the new user interface. Bay 12 says that's on the way soon. You can read the full announcement on Steam. (opens in new tab) Our fortunes rise and fall together.
