Any chance of a Distant Worlds twitter account getting created? I've found twitter to be an excellent way of letting the community know what kind of progress is being made without too much time commitment from the devs.

@Erik Rutins

I guess the devs are still busy playing Stellaris with mods, and now also with Utopia released. There is just too little time to code. [:D]

Though Devs, can't you guys throw us a bone soon?
Then I am not talking about the "We are working on something, too early to tell now, will come back when we have something". You have been saying that for what 1.5 years now ?

Utopia kept me entertained for a couple hours, then I went back to waiting for DW2. [:)]

Blah yeah, im playing a extremely modded version of Stellaris to at least have a game with some content. But I found a DWU Mod I havent tried yet. Considering trying it.

hi Dipluz, at which DWU mod do you refer ?

I want to try out Unleashed Extended II seems fun.

...maybe just a hint that its still being worked on?

I guessed before it would be out early 18, but now I'm thinking later.

We are working on it, believe me, just still can't say much more than that. [8D]

Stellaris had 32 developer diaries before the game was released. Between that and Twitter teasers, they were frequently sprayed all over the internet, helping grow interest in the game. I understand the need to focus on development time but gees it would be wonderful to have *something* cool to talk about. Anyway, one has to try ... [8D]

Stellaris Developer Diaries

And something to buzz with

Stellaris Developer Diaries

My exact thinking, create a little buzz and make people itchy.
Put some stupid disclaimer on the end, that it might not still end in the finished game.
Just give us something, it could be content, it could be a date / year / century?

This is the third time they've said "We're working on it and we can't say anything" so It's pointless to ask anymore as it seems they're sticking to that statement. It is what it is.

Even an ambiguous, blurry screenshot. Then we can spend the next 6 months over-analyzing it! [:D]

Sometimes all the secrecy scares me into thinking DW2 will be too radically different and a lot of the systems that Universe has will get put aside.

Well they have been saying it for what almost 2-years now. So I guess it could help to let em raise their heads of the computer screen and maybe, give us at least a screensaver [:D]

I highly doubt that, though I do belivie they will create a new 64-bit engine. Considering the 32-bit they had really scrapes what you can possible do on max size galaxy with a large amount of empires, planets etc.

And working in the IT business myself I guess its this that takes so much time, they probably with their answers the last 1-2 years is also why they haven't really gotten to the point of what new type of content comes this time.

I think that too sometimes.

It will turn out to be a rainbow unicorn Pony Simulator called "Distant Stables"
