Wasn't there going to be an announcement in September?

One thing I would like to see is the Silvermist turn into a giant space troll when it gets big enough.

I would prefer a giant space Ogre...big and green with antennae-like ears... [;)]

Yes we know Elliot and consorts failed their own deadline for a sneakpeak. Lets punish them by burning our DW copies forever...

Or just hope that working on the game 24/7 was more important than posting here. Though this event seems rather unlikely... at least the 24/7 part.

Sorry everyone, I meant to post yesterday but things have been very busy. There will be news in October, but we are a bit behind the schedule I originally planned on, so the announcement is not yet ready. Some of the new features have taken quite a bit of work and I think you will be happy with the release, but we will only announce more information when we're ready to share something that is close enough to complete to be more meaningful. That means sometime in October, but unfortunately not yet.

Regards,

We'll continue to wait in breathless anticipation, thanx for the update Erik

[bryanhbell]

I'm relatively new to these forums. How have these announcements worked in the past? Do they announce an update at the same time they release it? Or do they merely give a future date on which an update will be released?

EDIT: Also, where in these forums did they say an announcement would be coming in September?

[PlacidDragon]

Welcome to the forum then

Generally speaking, they announce things like expansions well before their release, showcasing new / changed features, and anything else that might be new (general engine upgrades, new races, ship classes, weapons, research, etc etc).

I cant say anything spesifically on Distant Worlds though, for some inexplicable reason it passed completely under my radar until i stumbled over it and its two expansions.

[bryanhbell]

Thanks. Is the expectation that in this month's announcement they'll be announcing an entire expansion (like DW:L or DW:ROTS) or an update, like we got in April?

[Cauldyth]

It'll be a full expansion, like Legends. The previous two expansions were officially announced in September of their year, and then released in November. Sounds like this one might be running a little late though.

And thanks for the update, Erik. [:)]

[Hawawaa]

I loved legends and can't wait to dive in this next expansion

Looking forward to it! [:)]

Wish we had some more information about it

Indeed we are asking for new features details and not a beta test.The design choices for the next expansion are clearly decided at this stage.

I imagine that even though they've already made design decisions, they may not be positive they'll be able to deliver on such decisions until just prior to release. They might consider it better to delay an announcement than to risk having to renege on one or more announced features. No matter how much effort they might put into warning customers that they can't guarantee all features can be delivered, people would still be upset or disappointed if they don't see their favorite feature implemented.

I can't say that i've scoured this forum from start to finish, but has there actually been an official word on if there IS another expansion?? I can't find one.

I think I've jumped on the band wagon and have just assumed that another expansion is due....

[Erik Rutins]

Yes, what I've been talking about is indeed another expansion that we've been working on for months now and one we hope to finish and release before the end of this year. The current working title is Distant Worlds: Shadows and I'll post more information about the feature list as soon as we are ready.
