New expansion info?

Post by HectorOfTroy »

Just wondering when some gameplay videos of the new expansion will be posted?

I remember original DW videos and they were quite cool.

Basically, I'm just hoping we will get an update on the new expansion and bit more info and gameplay examples involving new features :).

Maybe, a date for new info?

My guess is: "When possible". It was stated somewhere that newest build is needed from Elliot to post any reliable information. Makes sense to me.
Gameplay videos would definetly be interesting to watch now that there's some significant changes to gameplay (borders, leaders etc.)
Hopefully there'll be some news in a week or two.

We know Elliot is working on the game by himself, but maybe someone from Matrix can post weekly updates, etc.

P.S. Is Elliot still working by himself or has he hired few people to help him?

Well its better sooner than later you know? They could of just decided to not let anyone know the winner of the Creature Contest or give any updates to game progress so that everyone would have a nice big surprise :)
But I'm excited to find out who might be the winner :)

My boyfriend asked the same thing.. All I Said was "Well.. my creature will be in the game. And if they include the names I used thats a bonus. Given that I used by Date of birth for a planets name..or systems name.."

So yeah whoever wins their creature and its lore will be added. Maybe plus a free copy of the game? Or Trilogy I would prefer :D

What will we win?
Name in the credits and your own creature in one of your favourite games and its lore + free copies of the DW and its expansions. I think that's great.

The winner will be an easter egg in the game....so when you kill that creature his / her face will pop up screaming at you for destroying one of his / her creations.
