Totaku, is that you!? I've been trying to find a contact for AGES!

Er, but where to begin? You see, for the longest time, I've been lurking around /jp/ and soku, building up a respritory of fairy sprites for a project that ultimatley ended up failing, so I turned to the one programming venture I know a decent amount about; modding dwarf fortress. That's when I started building the fairies into a full blown civilization, using your files as the base, and my sprites for the stone sense overlay (stonesense has matured to the point it can be used as an GUI now, though it's a bit buggy), though without anything else, the fairies felt a bit empty, so I started porting over some of your yukkrui, then some of your sukusukus, and eventually I ended up on the course I am now slowly reconstructing your files for DF 2014 while also adding other stuff (like some of Patchy's content from her? incomplete 2hu mod; the Tsukumogami being a major example) and experimenting with modding further to add in more interesting stuff. I also vowed to give full stonesense support to everything, so I've been spriting as well. Progress has been slow and steady (I'm only one anon, after all!) but everything is shaping up wonderfully when world generation doesn't crash.

Right now I'm mostly playtesting and working with reactions while also working on porting the inbabas, as well as give them as SS sheet. Also working on giving each creature its own unique ID, to make the coding less difficult to poke around (no offense tacoman, but the yukkuri are a pain to find scattered among all the vanilla DF creature files), which also gives the side effect of making SF itself easier to mod; if one wanted to, they could insert New SF on top of vanilla DF and it'll play files from both for a joint dwarf/oni alliance, or even insert it on top of another mod, so you can have suikas working with toads or something.

I'm more then open to hearing any feedback you're willing to give! Great to ya!
