Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) The Kickstarter for Queen's Wish 2 officially launched: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spiderwebsoftware/queens-wish-2-the-tormentor/ Between the project description and the blog post Jeff made, we have some new information about the game: You're playing the same character in Queen's Wish 1. This is a first for any game by Spiderweb Software. Queen Sharyn's illness seems to be public knowledge now, and Haven is in a panic. The game will take place in a region called the "Rokaj" where your father is from. I don't believe the first game ever mentioned your character's father, so it looks like we'll finally get some more information about him. You will actually have the option to betray Haven. Core gameplay seems to be the same - you command a squad of soldiers and rebuild forts in the region. There's an interesting screenshot where you pick a "dedication" for your fort, either diplomacy, military, or knowledge. No idea what it means, but you may actually have to make decisions about your forts instead of just taking all the upgrades in every fort. You can still abuse your butler. Dungeons still require you to beat the boss before the enemies de-spawn. The exp system is being re-designed. It sounds like Jeff wants exp to feel more rewarding instead of only being given out when you clear a dungeon. The game will have 12 more abilities than the first Queen's Wish did. He wants to make sure that every ability feels useful, even in the late game. I'm looking forward to it! Let me know if I missed anything important.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 There are 50 game maps available for rewards so that made how many towns/dungeons exist. Stretch goals include an iPhone version and Android tablet (third party) version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably hard to tell how many people play the game on the iPhone vs. the iPad since both versions come with one purchase. I wonder if Jeff has any clue....

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Kickstarter video Some bits from the alpha version of the game. When you dedicate the forts it gives you different bonuses than the previous game. Also shops now have two versions as stall or full shop. christopherrc2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd christopherrc2000 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Those sound like some really cool changes. Looking forward to the new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 At the end of the video it shows a more clear description of the 3 fort specializations. The Diplomacy focus is especially interesting as it mentions improving relationships with the locals and making them more likely to assist you. Might be similar to investing in the leadership skill in Geneforge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Kickstarter 2 update: I am Groot. Now I want the raccoon sending you off on quests to get things. Disney wouldn't like it. ladyonthemoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Ordra Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Glad we'll still be the same character as we were in the first game. I wasn't quite sure about that from the description. I guess the default world state if you don't have an import password will assume you rushed the portal and ditched your responsibilities in the first game?

Kyshakk Koan ladyonthemoon Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Did I read right? The game is due to be released next June? 😲 I need to replay The Conqueror then! 💫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 That's the estimated delivery, there's always a chance for a delay, which isn't exactly uncommon for kickstarter games. Mutagen was delivered right on time, though, so even if there is a delay, I don't think it would be substantial. ladyonthemoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Kickstarter update today included a map of the new region. Something interesting is that the map mentions the year is "510." That would mean this game takes place 13 years after the first game. The map's setup looks pretty similar to the first game. An introductory zone at the beginning with a single fort that eases you into the mechanics. Then 3 zones with 2 forts each that each focus on a specific culture. And it looks like there's a final zone that may only be accessible after sorting out the issues in all the other areas.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Another update today, and the Steam page is officially up: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1947750/Queens_Wish_2_The_Tormentor/ The most interesting thing from the trailer/images: Runes/Augments seem to have more varied effects. There's one that gives +1 to bloodletting, for example The Magic/Support/Combat trees look about the same, but the cultural ability tree looks massively expanded to be the same size. Although it's possible the Prince(ss)' cultural tree is just larger than the other characters'. There seems to be a crafting/upgrade system that uses resources like crystals, books, and amber.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Some new runes/augmemts. Even more new items to use them with than before. The Cultural page has the top row as cultural and the next three are abilities that everyone can get under certain conditions. A lot more room to make different characters with all the new abilities. Crafting system makes the game different and you can't get everything in one game. So multiple play throughs to see everything. My game made the inventory screen shot. Downside was Jeff saw how many items I'm saving up for the expert area.endgame. Mechalibur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Oh that's neat. You pretty much had access to every ability at the start of the game in QW1, only limited by your level. Unlocking abilities through the story (or exploring, or crafting, or some other progression system?) is an interesting way to get new ones.

You know, it just occurs to me that the years on the maps are when the maps were made, not the current year the game takes place in. 13 years did seem like quite a long gap.
