Can someone provide a link to the Twitch stream mentioned in the first post, scheduled for later today? Somehow I'm not finding it, nor is Google...

Thank you!

Man! I wait almost 5 years for an event like this (livestream reveal) and wouldn't you know it... I won't be by the computer to see it live! Grrr! (Stupid life stuff! [;)]) I'll have to check out the VOD tonight when I get back.

I'm assuming we'll see a summary posted here in the forums as well?

Hi everyone,

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek on the stream. I'll be posting the stream content and screenshots here as well in a bit. [8D]

Enjoyed it very much, Erik, and I'm quite excited by what I'm hearing and seeing. [8D]

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

It was a wonderful sneak peak. A nice info drop about "The same, but bigger and better". And the 2020 release target was a nice info drop as well.

Now just give me some better "automated diplomacy" support...

Just watching the stream. Some brilliant screen shots. Larger Galaxy, 3D ships, brilliant ship design menu........ I am sure Erik will post screen shots soon.

[elvendeathknight]

Thanks for the sneak peak.

[Bleek]

It all sounded very positive so far. [:)]

I know the UI is still in works, but simply colour coding internal ship components on the design screen is a simple and effective cue. Same goes for the energy usage chart, very helpful.

Haven’t been able to look yet, but: even... larger... galaxy?! Wow and in 3D?! Wow^2!
I am going to need to find a quiet spot to watch the video soon!

I've posted the script and screenshots from the stream in this thread:

I love what I see so far. I would also like some eye candy with the 3D. Like a resort base just outside of a black hole's burning event horizon. Hopefully, the event horizon could have movement.

From the other (ship-related) thread :

Hi all

Long time, no speak Glad you like what you've seen so far of DW2.

Thought I'd just add some more points about 64-bit: while the default build will be 64-bit, we'll probably also include a 32-bit version. Memory usage is much-improved over DW1, so 32-bit can actually handle most situations ok. It's just the really big galaxies where 64-bit works better. But if you only have 32-bit Windows, you'll still be able to play DW2.

Will you support Linux / Windows 7 / Mac ?
