Book II Announcement?

Many people have speculated that these new forums were to be used for the official announcement of Book II. The truth is that we just needed to update the software and give the forums fresh look. Book II is still in the early prototype/idea stage and we have nothing yet to announce. We hope to have an announcement in the next few weeks.

What are you planning to catch? Oh, you mean "bated breath".
Sorry, I've been an editor way too long.

Im getting a bit edgy waiting on the announcement. I guess Im just worrying that it might not get made at all. It's definitely getting made right?

Announcement definately coming next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. We are writing the Press Release now and throwing together some very early screenshots so that you can see the game running at 1024x768 with the updated GUI, and a few other new game elements that have been added already. The entire website is getting a complete "refreshment" at that time as well.

I felt a bit like a pest with that last post, I just didn't wanna see one of the most promising new comer developers dissappear into the ether
Great news, I look forward to next week!

Paraphrasing Carly Simon
Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me save my pennies
Is keepin' me waitin'
What is this I hear Toto? An announcement is in the wind.
Press release, screenshots, updated website

Oh,My!
Or in the words of Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
So come up to the lab and see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici... pation.
Yes I do!

Very nice! This has reallly made my day!
The screen shots look very nice. I love the look of the new trees. They look like large oaks and really make it look like a plush forest.
I also see the bars that have been added for hunger and thirst.
I can't wait to get my hands on this one.
Do you have an estimated gameplay hours for this one? I think I heard it would be much larger than book I which I think was about 30 hours, so Im guessing it will be longer than that.
Any plans on doing more with the manual? Maybe adding more world lore to it?
Thank you Thomas for creating these games, I just wish we didnt have to wait for a year or more!

Like the shots, Basilisk! Going to be interested to see how the finished result compares to what we currently see.
These going to be locations in the game, or just for purposes of showing off some screens?
