You know…one like dwarf fortress’. I would do one myself, though, I guess id need to get a bit better at pixel art. (I suck at all art in general on the computer, I like holding a pen/pencil. I really should invest in a pad thingy)
If you do do it, I’m sure the guys will put it in.
Pretty much. I know I at least am horrible at making pixel art, which is why I haven’t worked on it. If someone artistic out there wants to make something it will almost certainly go in.
OK, I’ve been messing with something a while ago; it consists of 72 frames, 49x49px. It looks silly, but it can be turned into ASCII pretty easily cuz it’s b/w. I think it can squeeze into some console modes… An important note - last couple of frames are messy, so thread lightly. 
It’s a mess, translucent stuff is FUBAR, and moving at a cross lasts too short,
but you get the idea…,
eai
We don’t have to make pixel art. We can write some kind of introduction to the Cataclysm. A little about the lore. Something displaying “CATACLYSM DARK DAYS AHEAD”.
I have an idea: Making the animation slowly fade into the main menu, so it looks… awesome.
...and moving at a cross lasts too short, ...
It’s a 50px .png, there’s simply no space for effects.
I was experimenting with diagonal/vertical placement of 8x8 tiles, hence the car animation.
