Re: GOG?

I tried to schedule a meeting with them years ago during Gamescom but they didn't follow through so it never happened. I will try to approach them again after Horizon 2 is released and I have more time to set it up.

Re: When can we expect some news?

Hello everyone, 2020 has been a long and difficult year with the impact of this new corona world having also caused delays with the development of Horizon 2.

Re: Ingame videos

There is a lot of video scenes in the game, about 40 of them. It took a lot of time to make these, something that's rarely done nowadays at least not in 4x games. List of video scenes in game: . Intro Story . Encounter videos one for each faction . Homeworld videos one for each faction . Colonizatio...

Re: Trade in Horizon 2?

Simulating Trade (and Tourism) was always important for your economy in Horizon. The presentation though was quite abstracted/at a High-Level on the map and on the colonies, with control limited to building choices and diplomacy pacts. We will have more control in the new game with diplomacy resourc...

Re: When can we expect some news?

Just to add further about the Galaxy Map size and how to capture that grand expansive feeling, we will have a full 3d visualization of the game map while keeping a planar (2d) interface. And because it is a seamless map (no transitioning into systems or combat) it is way bigger and more immersive. T...

Re: When can we expect some news?

Kind of a random question, but do you have any plan/idea for how large the maps in Horizon 2 will be? Our initial target is to have 4 galaxy map sizes which will encompass from 400.000 to 1.200.000 units (u) square on the largest map, which is quite vast. To give you a sense of the scale of the gam...

Thanks for your feedback! I am using very basic tools so far (Xbox and now also Debut Screen). Had not heard of Debut Screen but looks like a good tool.

Just started watching today and I finished the first 3 videos. You do a very good job of explaining the game play, and the pace and tone of your voice is really great also. You definitely have a knack for it! If you make a post (in french) on Steam Discussions I will pin it, I'm sure french speaking...

Re: When can we expect some news?

Makes sense. I wonder if an aggressive AI empire will do it because they don't care (the Federation wouldn't do it but the Cardassians would surely do it). Definitely, this will be accounted for in the relations system. If they are hostile to you or don't respect you, they can ignore your borders. ...

Re: When can we expect some news?

So you mean that it's possible to colonize even if it's in the territory of the other nation? I guess a human player will think about it before doing it but will the AI nations do it as well or just keep on colonizing everywhere? By default, Ai players respect borders and will not enter or colonize...

Re: When can we expect some news?

Borders are based on influence, a colony or space installation can generate influence (based on various local factors) and that influence has a range and decay (curve) over distance. If two different factions have influence in the same region (border friction) the strongest prevails. Movement and Pa...

Re: Main page L3O has a problem

I've fixed the issue. It was not finding a linked file and the PHP server was rejecting the whole page, when the host upgraded the PHP server version.

Terraforming planets can be very costly early on so I would say it's better to look for good habitable planets to colonize. But once you can't expand or there aren't good planets you can reach then Terraforming is the next best option.
