I had a stream scheduled for Distant World 1 and managed to download the video to share with the stream. Here is the 24-second video broken down over 20 minutes. :)

Thank you Erik for sneak peek. I loved helping play test Distant Worlds -- I forget which 'chapter.' Love to help here-- as well. In any case: Thank you, Happy New Year. Be safe, have fun, work hard, enjoy your accomplishments! -e
Do as you would be done by.

One thing I like added in Distant Worlds 2 is a naming system.

I always manually name my troops. So I like naming troops "Imperial Guard" or "Stormtroopers" etc. Possible a simple system where we can set a name and all trained troops will automatically rename themselves to 1st Imperial guard, 2nd Imperial Guard.

Another thing is the ship initials like USS, INS, IJN. Just something we can add so that all automatically named ships will have those initials in front.
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly, than to live somebody else's life with perfection.

Hi everyone,

As you probably heard in our December 3rd Stream, we're planning a big reveal on Distant Worlds 2 in January. As a result, this is definitely _not_ a big reveal, but I didn't want to leave the hard-core fans checking our forum with nothing new to see before then.

After posting a request for the most wanted sneak peek, the winning choice was for a brief view of what it looks like in Distant Worlds 2 to zoom from the planetary scale out to the galaxy. I've put this into an animated GIF for easy viewing. If you want to see the full size/quality, there's also a brief video version of that GIF at the link below.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Be well, stay safe and let's hope for a wonderful 2021.

Just tried your link and get something called Wetransfer each time. What the heck (politely)...

The link expired, that's why.
