In my mod Research Unleashed, 'Distant Worlds 2' is a very late game technology, which brings great happiness to the people of your empire. Unfortunately, you usually would never get far enough to actually develop it.

A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
A day may come when we lose all hope and stop asking for updates about DW2, but it is not this day.

This is the cause of all the delays. They have been waiting for this photo so they can incorporate it into the game.

No kidding! If so, that means the game will be full of bugs and the developer will disappear after release. [:D]

Development of the game is being run by me and Elliot, just as always. I'm sorry you appear to have had a bad experience with one of our games, but we are not planning to release DW2 until it's ready and we are planning to support it just like we did with DW1. With that said, it is always a risk when making niche games that involve small development teams (sometimes just one developer) that if anything goes wrong, development can stall or even end. I do not see any such realistic risks with DW2, but it's part of the reality of making strategy games of this kind.

Thanks Erik! I canNOT wait for this game! I do remember the support and follow-up for DW was excellent and it's nothing to worry about for DW2.

Again all info is held close to their chest. It's all good though. I'm having fun retro gaming a bit.

Erik,

Thank you for the update. Distant Worlds circulates in many forums when folks are talking about a quality strategic game. Many times a forum on another game > Stellaris or Gal Civ III may have a topic about certain features and DW is always bound to come up as a comparison to how things were done right.

Take the time to build it (right) and we will come with cash in hand.

Good to see ongoing development of DW2. I will definitely buy it as soon as it is available.
