Distant Worlds 2 News?

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

Was there an update? Has something changed? Steam just downloaded 67mb worth of data for DW:U.

There hasn't been an update for DWU. Most likely it was a steam update that was directed at DWU. Nothing to worry about....GP

ok so 2017 is almost over and we havent seen a trailer, a beta test, not even a single leaked concept art. Guess I'm gonna spend this winter exterminating Atuuk, enslaving Securan and indexing all the other races on my empire as second class citizens without reproduction rights, again!

It's not on the press release forum for games being released in 2018 [:(]

That is worrying but it says some of the games announced. So wait for DW announcement...when I don't know.

When we are more certain about the release date, we'll certainly let you know. At this time I can't discuss release timeframes at all, but I can say that the post you are referencing was certainly not intended to be a comprehensive list of possible 2018 releases.

Erik does say "of possible 2018 releases". To quote Billeck "And it will be ready when it is ready!" [8D]

3D modelling is terrifying me now for DW2.

One of the charms I loved, and the benefits I found, were the 2D sprites which allowed me, a modding noob, to easily add whatever ships I wanted in to the game. It also scares me that the ship designer becomes more about fiddling with 3D objects rather than focusing on a component list...

Ranbir,

you are presuming too much with too little information available.
