Ineffable Wingbolt Mechalibur Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Newest update is out. Sounds like closed beta testing will be relatively soon. Also that artwork is awesome. I love the fyora's expression. Edited September 7, 2023 by Mechalibur ultra112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he will use the infamous invisible graphic so you can't see where they are without moving the cursor over every tile until one lights up with an outline of a rectangle.

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 there were actually enemies in some of the older games, starting with exile, that had an empty graphic, so were never directly visible on the map. i do think that would be worse in the geneforge engine though, ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Beta testing and what Jeff's released in previews. Mostly previews since I hate making creations. Although it's so early in testing that almost anything can change. Most probably will over the next few months. About the only fixed things ae the World Map, story, and several hundred thousand words of dialogue and text. Those require too much work to change now.

Probably more lies from Lying Zakary the Deceiver. We were told his dialogue would be expanded. Considering that about 150% of what he said was lies, I expect more of the same. Now, jokes aside, I would love some GF2 stuff with more quests and creations but the idea that I have to deal more with that butthole creeps me out. I am not looking forward to talks with Zakary. I have found recently that I love to hate some villains and simply dislike others. Zakary is just that.

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) While checking this, I also checked the screenshots. I saw Shanti has a necklace of feathers and fangs... i.e. a token like those we need to pass ... either the Barzite or Taker areas. I forget. HOW did Shanti got hold of that token before the game really started? Also, remember when Greta makes fun of Monarch for his token? The Rebels AND Shapers are using those by the dozen. OK, the Shapers started using them when things got rough, but the Rebels are spamming them in all games. Greta (that for all I know could be holding 1-2 such tokens to pass the Shadow Road that I think was up and running by that time AND a token to go to the Northforge) should not be making fun of Monarch for his baton.

Garrulous Glaahk Amira The Hot Potato Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 If you're talking about the necklace that she plays with, all she really says in the original is that its a simple necklace. maybe there will be lore with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The necklace is in the original and finding it on the ground is the first step I Find Shanti quest.

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 The new map is partially shown. Also, we have 90 areas in this version. I remember GF2 had 79 or 80, so that's +10 areas. Except if they mean the upper floors but I don't think they counted them separately in Mutagen, so I actually expect +10 areas. ultra112 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Any idea when during the "Q1 of 2024" GF2 will come out? Early Q1? Late Q1? Can we expect a late January release or it is a dream at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I think Jeff said February for release, but that's subject to getting it done for approval versions to third party distributors. Steam and other stores want a release version to check about a month before they sell it. Right now the game has been tested, but needs some of the cosmetic things like final art and those little things to make it polished. Plus testing the Windows version hasn't started. Testing has gone at a faster rate than recent games. Ircher, ultra112 and Amira The Hot Potato 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
