Btw, it has already been discussed many times on this forum and it seems that fans of Distant Worlds prefer developpers to focus on adding more elements to the game mechanics rather than 3D (I disagree with that but anyway). I would really like to know the total number of sales of Distant Worlds...


It needs a new graphics engine (or wherever the bottleneck is) in a possible next game. I'm fine with either 2D or 3D, but the current engine is not performing well. Awesome game, but oh my what low frame rates there are mid to late game. Shadows should have performance improvements according to posts, I really hope so.

The development costs and time for a 2D game are a lot less than a 3D game, so that is probably a big factor too.

If a 3D game makes possible a scalable UI with highly readable fonts and icons it is a big plus for a 3D engine.

I don't think there as been any hint of their plans beyond the Shadows expansion.

What seems logical, though, is that if the work to change the platform of the game is to be done, it will be a "DW 2" kind of thing, and not an expansion.

Nope, it's just pure speculation.

Wonder if Shadows will be the last expansion. I believe 3 expansions are somewhat rare anyway. Can't wait to get my hands on it though. Hope it will fix some of the problems with the current engine, like the hard to read text.

No vote on 3d from me too. Top down works fine, its less complicated. And it never fails that every game that goes 3d eye candy ends up sacrificing game play to get the pretty graphics.


+1

I hope that after last expansion(or even before) Eric release some modding tools or at last make a possibility to mod mechanics/economy/components/resources/technology.

I quit playing it in part because of the small fonts too. Might have to explore some multiple pairs of glasses.
