Distant Worlds 2 Christmas 2019 Sneak Peek!

[Erik Rutins]

Hi everyone,

Latest word from our marketing folks is that with all the other releases and promotions in December, we may wait a bit longer on the big reveal just to make sure it gets enough visibility. However, I'll be talking a bit about DW2 and the timing of that reveal towards the end of the stream in this event:

Also, I'm going to see if I can post something special for you all here before the end of the year.

Smart move, cyberpunk 2077 is 12 days from now, it's gonna be game of the year tier, so best to not do any marketing for now, coz that's a waste of cash.

While it's a waste of cash marketing the game (right now), it's not a waste of mindshare in releasing some more (moving)pictures of the BETA build and instill some confidence in the fans who frequent here [:D][:D][:D]

Hype! Thanks for baring with our little group of fanatic enthusiasts Erik

Smart decision. Best have a lowkey December and share a little bit of info for us fans here. The Big announcement can come when the hype dies down.

From the looks of it it´s close to NASA in complexity? Then i can imagine the learning curve is rather steep for this one as well and requires it´s astronaut to maneuver and enjoy it to the full extent. Looks nice so far.

DWU is pretty complex. I imagine DWU2 will be the same, just "different".

Ok everyone, I'm allowed to share _one_ screenshot and discuss it in December here on the forum before the big January DW2 reveal. I'm accepting your suggestions on what you are most interested in seeing at this point in time.

Hmm, diplomacy?

If not that, then maybe colony management?

[elvendeathknight]

Second vote for diplomacy,

[Retreat1970]

Allowed? Aren't you the head honcho?

Ship design screen.

Update: There was already a preview for that, sorry. A preview of the main screen would be better.

The main playing screen, showing the full galaxy - at high resolution, so we can zoom in to read all the details in the UI.

Thank you

Main galaxy screen. Make it a gif that shows a smooth zooming transition from galactic view zooming in down to star system view, with the perfect real time orbiting planets!

[LordMM]

Main Galaxy screen is exactly what i meant.

Galaxy map zoom into a star system gif PLEASE

Absolutely this! And if not that then just a picture of the main galactic view.

I would like to see the tech tree window if we can only get one screenshot.
