Hello! I'm Squamous, or the Modsmith, or Squamouss, or maybe something else. Honestly my usernames are all over the place. I've been modding dwarf fortress for years now and I view it as an amazing medium for worldbuilding and storytelling (in addition to being an amazing game in itself!). I focus on atmosphere, aesthetics, and interesting narrative themes to reshape the game into a story of my own design, one I hope stands on its own through the strength of my writing. I treat my work as professionally as I can and am dedicated to bringing a memorable experience to my audience.

You can follow me on Bluesky. I'm still getting used to talking in a public social media forum but if you want to contact me my DMs are open. That said, for stuff like bug reports or feature testing, the Discord might be a better option. It's slow and not geared towards community as much as letting fans keep track of updates, but if you have a problem I'll personally help with troubleshooting. And you can definitely chill there if you want, I try to keep the atmosphere friendly and tolerant. There is also the Patreon, and any patrons are deeply appreciated. Even a dollar helps! Contributions go towards paying for bills, groceries, and saving towards further enhancement of the mod with things like custom soundscapes, music, and some other stuff I'm keeping an eye on.
