Rhialto Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I wonder, now that the final patch for Y1 has been released, and 2018 is well advanced, whether Black Chicken Studios would be kind enough to tell us how the progress goes. If they will not do this, might they at least tell us something about Y2's mechanics for adventures? Either would be a great encouragement to me as I write Y2 adventures. I do not want to think that I write for a game that will never be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Rhi; When the Team's ready, I'll be first to let you know. Y2 Adventures are similar to Y1 in basic structure, but there are a few other modes of success and failure. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to discuss them in detail, but suffice to say that it is easier to cast spells and use items inside of an Adventure.

Adrian Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Using spells in adventures would be grand! Really grand! Having to cast spells before an adventure (because you tried, learned what you needed and then reloaded) always felt a bit off, especially if it was one of the more happy go lucky adventures. I'd wish you could tell more, but I'm patient and have a great deal of faith and fondness for the story that the team is creating, so I can wait. I'm not about as much, but best of fortune! - Now if you'll excuse me, I just learned that there was a patch that I need to download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legate of Mineta Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Rhialto; Unchanged from before, although the Team touches at least one thing (whether code or writing) each week. The drum beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This of course will result in litigation from Richard Dreyfuss but hey, that's progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Any juicy updates on Y2? Can you fix your sigi twitter link, Legate? I feel it is about time to drudge into the new UI. I did, for better or worse, in order to fix my sigi image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Juicy Updates? No, but there was a quite a bit of Spell-related activity last week. I've been meaning to do that! Maybe this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hmm, so that was the reason for the delayed response that I sensed, then? Interesting. It's getting really bad for me that I can actually sense the pulse of the team's workload by the forum's moderator's activities. I think I feel kind of like Von Rupprecht trying to keep up with Orso's antics. I've clearly spent too much time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhialto Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 What progress has been made within the past 2 weeks, if I may ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Rhi; Sure! A fun one- some of the game effects of the wind currents in Mineta were created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I would like to ask if the team would consider telling us what progress has been made whenever they have their weekly(?) progress checkpoints. If anything is too revealing, a simple statement of "Sorry, this part is [redacted]" or something would do. I think that would go a long way to driving up hype, and flaring up our imaginations.

Legate of Mineta Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Free; I'll ask, but I wouldn't think so- given the hours afforded to the project, it probably would take a bit too much time to do it formally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sad it wasn't a Kickstarter because then we could pressure BCS for a monthly update and be angry for the release date be late by many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 LOL! I doubt the Team would ever be so foolish as to give a date for Academagia, unless it was fully funded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Well, it *Sounds* like the team is busy filling up a table of weather effects. Which in turn sounds like they're more or less finished with the game engine (minus polishing, of course...) So I remain hopeful that the Beta will show up some time late this year. It would be really nice to see the progress that's taken so long to produce. From the scraps of info we've managed to piece together, it shouldn't fail to impress once it gets out that door. We just need to nudge the team along some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 @freespace2dotcom your sure you still can play Year 2 when you already having problems with the Steam Version of Year 1? @Legate of Mineta You know that Kickstarter need you to give a estimated delivery date right when you make the campaign that why I said it was sad as then your probably would have given something like 2015 or even earlier ^^.

freespace2dotcom Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 My issues are resolution based, and the team knows of them. I am moderately sure (90%+)that they've learned their lessons for Y2. The reason Y1 was only partially fixable was due to them no longer having the Master images available to them. This was all discussed in the steam beta, and since Y2 will have all fresh images, I don't anticipate a problem. Besides, if it is REALLY going to be an issue, I CAN get a modern monitor if I have to. I just don't want to. I had one, but It broke, and I find my old CRTs to be more reliable, if a bit small for today's era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Any news on Y2's progress? Can we get a word as to whether it's possible the Beta will be revealed before the end of the year? That would be super nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
