Matrix Games Forums

As above, it's been some time since Universe was released and post release support stopped, anyone know if Codeforce is working on anything new?

Forum rumor has it that DW2 is in the works but no official sources have any info yet.

Ofcourse they are making DW2.. it just takes time and money..

and we know they want money.. [:D]

And they will get my money when it does come out.

Erik confirmed that they are working on DW2.

very useful: well done !!!
thank you [;)]

Ah had forgotten about that post. So yea its official.

Awesome news! I'd be interested to see how they improve the DW series, I already think that's pretty good but i guess they've reached the limits of the current game.

It's going to be tough with the massive competition upcoming.He has a make a better release game than DW Universe which had years of development.

To be honest it will be a winner if all they do is fix all the stuff floating around on the wanted features lists stuffed here and there on the forums and bring the graphics at least into modern 2d pixel art. No need for sweeping mechanics changes or a new direction.

Swap the engine to a modern and maintained one. Make a graphics overhaul in the process.
Improve the GUI, for instance with a smarter ship design and better ability to track resources and stuff. Make the UI flexible enough to move stuff around and scale as wanted.

Do wishlist improvements as said above. Do some key improvements to things like diplomacy, but keep the main mechanics of the game.

It would be lovely if some key things were quite configurable. So for instance pirates could be tweaked to being "old style pussies" or improved "current time mayhem".

I know nothing of what is ahead, but I have a hunch that I will be disappointed in at least one of the above

a "noob" question arise.. [:(]

what is "GUI" ?

Graphical user interface.

thank you Retreat1970, since english is not my native language I always find difficult to remember all the acronyms [X(]

Then all we need is an expansion. Or a big patch.

my impression for a Distant Worlds 2 is that there must be more substantial changes than some fix here and there to be righly entitled as a truly successors.

There are always changes that are hard to do. Build it from scratch with the lessons learned form the original, and take some new major features into the game from the beginning. That is a proper new game and not a patch. Reuse game logic and features and possibly some code, but have a brand new foundation for graphics and the rest.
