Daedalic Silence: The Whispered World 2

[CryptRat]

Is there a particular reason for choosing the TWW sequel (next to Fire, but which is a smaller game) to abandon the inventory system?
TWW2 will be more accessible. Do they estimate that TWW2 still offers some challenge? Is abandoning the inventory system a deliberate way to make the game easier?
Do they have any little-known fairy tale or light fantasy reading to recommend?
In the future, could they make a RPG which would use a light fantasy or an unusal humourous setting?

[FANBOY]Do they personnally consider that they pay a particular attention to the ending of their games?[/FANBOY]

The report is up. Didn't have the opportunity to ask any questions, but I trust it may still be informative.

 

[evdk]

Daedalic is not completely fucked, is it? I mean, The Devil's Men looks decent.

 

[Jaesun]

More garbage to ignore...

 

[Shadenuat]

More games to watch on youtube

 

[Bubbles]

Just noticed this while looking for updates:

Look at the genre

I guess that means there's still hope for The Devil's Men, at least.

So this still seems to be scheduled for "early 2016"; new interview:

http://www.gamewatcher.com/interviews/silence-the-whispered-world-2-interview/12480

I don’t want to say we have made the game more casual or something like that, but to make it more playable for the kind of audience who has let’s say two hours in the evening after a hard days work.

Heh.

 

[FeelTheRads]

"I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens."

The question is why would they want to target that audience? They just want to dip in and see what they get and for some reason decided to do that with the sequel to The Whispered World?

 

[Boleskine]

There are no hardcore puzzles

We want to tell the story very fluently

For the cinematic experience

Steam page with new (I think) screenshots: http://store.steampowered.com/app/314790/

ETA is now Q4.

War rages on. During an air raid, 16 year old Noah and his little sister Renie seek shelter in a bunker. There, not only are they protected from the deadly bombardment, but are also at the crossroads of a world between life and death: Silence. When Noah’s sister gets lost in Silence, he is forced to venture into this idyllic yet threatening world to find her.

Silence, however, bears its own scars of war and suffering. Dark creatures haunt towns and cities and ravage this once serene place between worlds. Only a small band of rebels stands against the looming menace. Now it is up to the siblings to save Silence and its fantastic inhabitants from impending doom and thus also save their own lives.

Join Noah and Renie on their exciting journey through Silence where an emotionally gripping story of contrasts between serenity and danger unfolds. Meet fascinating and likeable characters like Spot, the magical caterpillar who helps Noah and Renie on their way through Silence. And witness when the siblings discover that the only thing that can save them is their love for each other.

• Elaborately designed 3D characters and opulent 2D backgrounds
  
• Up 12 hours of enjoyable playtime
  
• Three playable characters
  
• There will be exciting new characters, but also a reunion with old friends

12 hours is average for them.

Also the Pillars of the Earth game is being described as "interactive fiction". I wonder if that means they are going to turn the game into some sort of visual novel.

We're visiting these people again at Gamescom next week. I doubt anybody here has any open questions, but you're always welcome to share.

Hopefully it will be for the Z-machine.

Hopefully they have grown past their complete the game in one sitting achievement phase. I know they are optional but that stuff always annoys me.

You can save and reload though. The only achievement that really needed you to complete the game in one sitting was the Goal pinup from Deponia 2.

Just learned that there will be a public hands-on.

Your mission is clear, gauge the decline.

There was a Daedalic game that was labeled as "Modern Adventure Game". Is this one?

I believe your're looking for the 'State of mind'.

[Bubbles]

Silence is labeled as a "modern adventure", while State of Mind is a "3D dystopian Adventure". The difference is not as great as you might think, but there is a difference.

What a shame that such well presented game would be a Telltale simulator. If you want to make a good story with that kind of presentation just make an animated short/full animated movie or something. The animated movie genre is over saturated with talking [object/animal], mostly banal comedy. I am sure people would watch a more tone serious animated film on the theater.

These days a well presented adventure game can only be a Telltale simulator, otherwise the ROI figures start looking bleak.
