Avadon 2

Recommended Posts

If you're going to start rumors, fix the grammar so it makes sense?

 

Jeff is alternating between new Avadon games and Avernum remakes. After Avadon 2 will be a wait of probably around a year for Avadon 3, with Avernum 2: Crystal Souls coming in between.

 

—Alorael, who can think of more horrible things than a release next year. Jeff could become a maker of casual flash games. He could Kickstart a project and become so bogged down in dealing with the rewards and stretch goals that he never got around to a game. He could give up on making games entirely! A wait for a sequel isn't so bad

Someone posted the following on Spiderweb's facebook wall on July 31:

Do you have a release date scheduled for your next game(Avadon 2 or the next Avernum?)

The Spiderweb facebook account reponded on August 2:

Spiderweb Software: We are at the beginning of both Avernum 2 rewrite and Avadon 2. So it will be a while and we have not set a release date. When we do have a rough date we'll post about it to facebook.

That would seem to indicate that Jeff may be working on both in parallel - although I suspect that the Avadon 2 work is probably the priority, since the Spiderweb web site front page mentions mentions that they are:

Hmm, as of today (with the release of A6 for iPad) he's updated the front page to say:

Quote:
What Are We Working On Now? -We are also still slowly gearing up to announcing Avadon 2: The Corruption and Avernum 2: Crystal Souls.

I'm still theorizing that Avadon 2 will come first, based on recent patterns - but now it seems less clear than it did yesterday...

There is a difference. At the end of the day, Nethergate, and N:R use the same engine. There are significant changes to the engine, but it is still the same engine. The maps didn't have to be remade from scratch.
