Let us know if you ever finish that game, a few decades from now...


You can kinda get that effect if you jack research costs as high as possible on a 1400 star galaxy. This keeps your warp range tiny for a long time which means each empire has plenty of time to completely develop its home system before it can start to look to other systems. This will extend the game out quite a bit as its only going to be late game when you will be able to reach your opponents.

I'm thinking of suing for mental trauma...

I'm checking back daily with no new posts at all, that is so frustrating. Hope all is going well! May your coding be flawless and DW2 is soon to be born! Thx! Cheers!

We are hard at work on DW2 every day. We are still recruiting more 3D modelers/artists and we are also looking for a "supertester" with a lot of free time and good XML skills to help us out with some early testing and data entry/validation. If you know anyone who is interested, you could get an early look at the game and also have a chance of giving us feedback before anyone else.

Regards,

- Erik

I've sent you an email Erik (your PM box is full), not sure how often you check them so I figured I'd let you know I've done so here.

+1 recommendation for Sabranan. He wrote the tool to validate DWU files and those were plain text. XML would be easy for him.

This game and Rule the Waves 2 are the only two titles I need to feel complete in life. (Okay fine, I'd like Aurora 4X to be redone in C# as well.)

Will check back in another couple months! In addition, my YT channel isn't much (~6K subscribers), but I'd love to broadcast any serious updates about DW2, so if I can be of any service in this regard, please let me know!

I was checking online for something like this, but it seems that there is no news yet :( I skimmed through all the messages yesterday and noticed that yours, TortugaPower, was posted on 6/10/2018, although yesterday for me was the ninth, haha. I'm half expecting the next post to be from Erik in 2019 saying that the game is ready for release.

I was going to buy Distant Worlds, but it's only for Windows. I guess I'll be getting a PC soon. Erik, if it isn't too difficult, you should put the second game on GOG for some people to download from, including one guy who did not explain why he could not use steam but begged that you do this.
