Larian Studios Forums General About this website A YEAR ago!

...we had this welcome announcement First Screenshots and nothing else since???....A whole year!

The first screenshots were not from the game itself, but a test area for the engine (ie the game itself didn't exist in a playable form a year ago). I don't recall if they mentioned if the Christmas screenshot was from the actual game, or not.

Lynn responded to the Errrrr.......Anybody Home ??? topic to say they were busy, and that "no news is good news".

yeah but still, I think that A LOT of people are losing intrest (I am for sure). I mean, give people SOMETHING to look forward to, an update of some sort, it only takes about 2 mins of their time and we're happy.

2 mins every 2 weeks, is that so much to ask ? ALL the game developpers give away some info. hell, I heard more about Duke Nuke'm For (n)ever than I have about Larians next project the last year. says enough doesn't it

I'm not losing interest, certainly not. Nor am I losing patience even. But I heartily agree some updates would be more than welcome. Even if it was just an artwork or some class info or a glimpse of the storyline or whatever really every month or so. That would truely mean a world of difference for the community.

I am not losing interest, hell no, but I would really like to see some progress.. I guess theyre just working hard but comon, a lil bit of info IS needed to keep us happy.

Else that would make us really sad panda's <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

oh WD hell, we want info <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Well maybe you are over estimating how far they are (or under estimating the work to create such a game). We know they are working hard and that they have a lot of work ahead of them.

That said, I do agree that some thing should be posted to know that they are still alive. It doesn't even have to be about the game. Just an interview with Lar about "the future evolution of RPG's", "what kind of technology is being used (example Procedural Game Content)" or Lar answers one Yes/no question from some one (mine is Do you like cofee?).Something like that will do (Lar is the Belgian Will Wright). Just something like that would do since I am of the judgement that gamers don't know what they want. (Nintendo's wii proved that).

Then again I think we don't know everything Larian does. Larian could be working on games that are not under the Larian name or other projects to ensure a stable cashflow.

But take comfort in the fact that they are working hard. Rather a good game then a rushed game. I rather wait 5 years for a good game than 5 months for a bad one. It looks like thay are going back to the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> roots (that was 9 years in development <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> )

We don't know the internal workings of larian, for all we knwo the game could be 99% finished or have they started from scratch for the 3rd time. All we know is that they will release it when they think it is finished and not a moment sooner. We haven't even heard what publisher they will use.

The Age of Wonders community was facing very much the same problem.

So it isn't uncommon.

We had "some" vague information that the economie in div2, wil be very different then what we are used to be.
scroll abit down at @WAZZZ reply



Mmm it's cryptic.
soo you have to work for your "money" - in this case items/food
no more gold?
and it shines: soo maybe there will be sort of cristals we will use?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

http://www.larian.com/ubbthreads/sh...&o=&fpart=4&vc=1

Maybe we can create a sticky topic with "What we know about DD2"

tech:

gamebryo as standard game engine (modified by larian)
Meqon for physics (has been bouht by Ageia)
Speedtree for vegetation
HDR lighting

Story:
It will pick up after the events of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> or a couple of years after that.
We return to Rivellon. (green fields yipee)

gameplay:

Player will be able to polymorf into a dragon.
New economics that "will not appeal to all, and might be a hard thing to swallow"


Varia:
www.divinity2.com links to www.larian.com

Did I forget anything?

The 'i' in http://www.divinity2.com <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


If they don't release anything, then maybe the impact will be much bigger if they can show us almost everything at once <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hehehe nice way of puuting it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

I am sure that when we get surprised, it will be big.... (i certainly hope so)... i am sure that they saying something to the effect.... "arggggg not ANOTHER thread on "when are we getting info about the next gen game"... dont they have anything better to do with their time???? "

lol i think we are acting like a bunch of "are we there yet?" kids in the back seat of the car.... (Make no mistake.... i am taking part in the "are we there yet"... cause its been a long ride.... i am sure we all would love to stop the car and get some info.... but it wont make the journey any shorter if we continiously ask "are we there yet"... I think they are trying to avoid another BD situation where they predict a release date, which gets postponed.... and postponed again... and then yet again....

Nicely said <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But 1 thing, they can give us info without any release date or something eh <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

hehehe THat would be welcome and appreciated... but i suppose i have to be a good girly.. and sit still in the back seat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> *clobbers sissy over da head with a linux manuel*

is it done yet? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

yeah, like most of u, i appreciate a bit of news from them Larians, at least to let us know how they are doing, if no screenie is available.

still i'm looking forward to what they have to offer.

@ Morbo -> maybe there were busy doing a non-Larian side project; Lordi. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Puts on the Rolling Stones album Aftermath and plays the song 'I am Waiting.'



And that's a full day's work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I love that smilie, Macbeth

Yeah, it's relaxing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I get the feeling that we have all been left Home Alone so to speak, and i want them to come back and get us!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

well at least they are monitoring what we say <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> .... not that they giving any replies regarding our request.... but they there....

And yea... i also feel "home alone".... i wanna know what i must train my fingers for!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Indeed. Now heed the call Larian! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ah, leave em alone and they'll come home dragging the game behind them... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

or not......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

maybe they're working on an other (small)project first? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

who knew they were working on KetnetKick until it got released.

yeah, they are working on Spongebob: Het avontuur now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hug.gif" alt="" />

Or Freddi Fish: 3D! who knows?

In the My Suggestions for DD2 thread, Wazzz just said that Rivellon is a lot bigger than what we saw of it in Divine Divinity. So I guess that confirms the 'back to Rivellon' point, plus: it's gonna be big! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And so this thread is fading too ... see you all next year!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

I figured it all out! they will release the game on the sixth of June this Year (6/6/6) !!!!!!

neh, maybe not

I had a series of good events on my Bday.... (19 june) for the last few years....

2004 - got engadeged
2005 - fabulous holiday in spain (that i won)
2006 - Divinity???? *hold thumbs* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

We can only hope!

I personally think that even Lynn would have responded to this thread by now!
Would the last person please turn the lights out!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

*click*

I always think those lightbulbs look like a women touching her toes!!

*Looks amazed at this answer*

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

I can't say more than I said last time and then I read that some of you weren't happy because I didn't reveal any interesting info. But we are still alive and kicking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

We're difficult to please! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> But hey, you're alive and kicking, so we'll continue to eagerly await what's next!

Lynn, don't you mean alive and klicking?

Übereil

*mumbles something about lightbulbs*

@ Spick
erm... i think you need to come visit SA... we have some sexy ladies here.... not just the big (_x_) variety.... but the real model variety <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@ubs

@lynn
I have a small request.... a couple of small answers.... that i dont think will give anything away(i respect the fact that you cant give specifics)..... but might keep us holding our thumbs AND mouths <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

1: Are you guys making a reasonable progress with the "next-gen" game? Y/N
2: will we have more information in the next 6mnts / 12 mnts / 18mnts / 24mnts?
3: Will we love it? Y/N
4: Should i build up extra holiday time, so that when the game is released, i can do nothing BUT play the game for 3 weeks? Y/N?
5: Are you smiling?

Great questionnaire <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
I hope to see some answers! (No, not just to question five! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />)

Grumble grumble grumble stupid englishmen who can't spell...

Übereil

Thats Englishmen with a capital E

1: Yes
2: In the next 6mnts
3: Absolutely
4: If it works out like we plan, try getting some more time
5: Yes

to bad 6 months was the minimum!

if the question would have been in the next month/2 months/3months/6/12/...

You can't always get what you want!

(Which reminds me just a tad too much of the Stones concert is was supposed to have seen last night <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />)

I had a choice when i asked those questions.... ask vague questions and get answers.... or ask specific questions and get the "i cant say anything" speech...

ah, yeah dind't think about that.
Still, Lynnn you can always be more specific if you like!

Let's enjoy the info we got. General though it may have been, it's better than nothing!

I have a question, one that I believe could tell a lot about what to expect:

[color:"yellow"] Lynn, considering the earnings of DD and BD, has funding been no/a slight/a major problem or are you not allowed to answer this. [/color]

I ask this because obviously other developers in the past have proven that a secure working enviroment + secrecy means when after all this waiting it will be a bomb or a dramatic ending. While Much publicity during the development could mean the company needs more funding and is crying for attention.

Don't they have a steady money stream by creating content for ketnet kick ?

btw check out the movies some clever <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> placing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

matrix fans are we. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

I thought the same as Morbo : Ketnetkick should provide them with money.

And what's more . I believe that development does takje so long BECAUSE they want to have it founded themselves ! They want to have a solid, secure basis for everythingh they do, and that simply takes (and consumes) time.

That is my interpretation.

Thanks Lynn for the info. And it's always nice to see you pop in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

this is wonderful news indeed, to know that Larians are doing alright so far & Lynn responded as well as a number of us still waiting in hope but not in vain for the latest from Larian. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i hope Barta reads this as i think this piece of news will brighten her day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have a small question. Who's doing the music? ^_^

guess ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Good 'ol Kirill of course! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bday_jump.gif" alt="" />

Let Us not hope that Wazzz does the music, and Kirill the programming <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'm not a programmer, Mr Bean. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

hmmmm i can almost see the resemblance between the avatar and the emoticons <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

As a programmer I am insulted that he compared me to a Game Designer/(artwork artist?).

wazzz worked on Age of Wonders fyi

Yes Wazzz is a truly a gifted man, an IQ that could easily rival Einstein his IQ. He is truly a god among men!!

What possibly could be wrong with him?
<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>
He's Dutch <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yep that really brings down your average <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

@Wazzz: please respond with a cliché Holland vs Belgium response like: "Well At least we are going to the worldcup".
</span>

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Well...they are...arent they? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah ? Nice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wazzz has worked for more than two years at Netherlands-based Triumph Studios,
working on parts 2 and 3 of the highly acclaimed Age Of Wonders series. Here he worked not only as a concept artist, but also as level- and gamedesigner.
Has also worked as game- and character designer for the yet to be released boardgame Wasteland Wars, by the Swedish No1 Productions.

You hijacked this thread... but at least you did so in my name. So I forgive you.


How is this for a comment: <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> I hate football! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> </span>



<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kitty.gif" alt="" />

Hehe, same here. I have zero interest in it.

Nice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> *bows before Wazzz*

If that knew the guys over there in the forums of aow.heavengames... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Do you post there, too, or read, Wazzz ?

I have one burning question that I would love to have a clue on...is there the possibility of adding co-op multi play to the next game?

I always thought it would be fun to run around kiling orcs with dragh and kiya and all the other Define Infinity folks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Hehe, I would love to roleplay with you guys and women in the Divinity universe ^^ I like mmorpg's because of the roleplaying I just shiver when I read "Slay 10 flesh eaters and 10 rotten ones and report back to that guys"... anyway... co-op multiplay with the world interactivity as in the Divinity series would be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I feel much rage,
the dark side of the force in is strong with him...

Darth Wazzz VS. JediC++

The coders wars

-Art is war, or war is art, it depence on wich side you are-

I don't hope <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2 wil be a MMRPG (or something spelled like that...)
not even a co-up.
because then you better wait until diablo3 comes, out.

i like the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> series as single player.
even in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> i disliked the second character , because in the end i had to "babysit" on my second character, all the way true te game.
story based it had potentionel, but not in the gameplay And that was what <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> made a great game in the first place,
big land to explore, lot's of (not your average day)quests, and special weapons you could find, the freedom where ever you would go.

party based (online) cripples that freedom

The thing I like about mass multi-player is that you are
1) never alone in the world
2) unable to complete many quests alone
3) able to role-play and find others who enjoy role-playing as much

while in single-player, how much freedom the game gives you, you will be limited to just that amount of freedom.

In my opinion a great mmmorpg would be one where effectivly everyone could be a part of the bigger picture. Take WOW's realms but, that every realm would be different, terrotory would have shifted, goals, quests would be different. It does not matter who has "rolled" and won the best sword avaible in the game, but someone would have crafted it. A world that evolves on every action taken by any player.

But then again, I am daydreaming <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


And I certainly hope Diablo 3 wouldn't be an mmorpg, truly I don't care but Diablo in mmorpg form would be a disaster. talk about Item fever...

well, i saw some ingame movies about WOW, and if you visit a town and all you can see is 100ths of people with a name tag above theire heads...my gaming is ruined.

the limits of a game is content.
and that's a good thing for an online game.
but your not alone, it's like living in a very denced town.
or walking in newyork with the rest of the thousends pedestrials.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />

True, altho on low population servers this isn't all that bad, you keep meeting the same poeple, even out of town. Then again It is also the market place that is crowded, and honestly is nothing abnormal.

WOW is imo only meant to sell really good, wich it does. It's not a very good RPG enviroment altho it does introduce poeple to what RPG could be. For me it's a fresh breath in gaming to log on my realm expecting to advance a level and en up spending several hours in an inn talking and even helping out complete strangers on a quest, I am a paladin and it is my duty to serve those who need my aid.

Altho many developers promised new content will be added to the game very often none has done so. To me it seems quite simple, you hire experienced RPG writers to do nothing else than study, observe his server/realm/race and play an important role, such as, King, High Commander ... So the several opositions, races, have their playerbased story dependant characters. Then there are some others that have access to the world, can spawn npc's, boss characters etc etc, with the job of creating new quests all day.

This way each server "realm" will have it's own unique story, world that has been influenced by the occupants.

Sorry, offtopic spick <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> please forgive me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

On-topic tho, whatever DD2 will be, I'm sure it will be great. If it is as least as good as DD I will be obsessed by it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
