Geneforge 2, surely. Which is great, because the Geneforge 1 remake was really good.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The "exciting remaster" made me wonder if it's Nethergate.

 

[Jinn]

That would be an awesome surprise, but highly unlikely.

 

[Modron]

Was under the impression the first nethergate remake was a step down from the original so yeah room for improvement there.

 

[Old One]

I'm also a fan of the original Nethergate. It's a criminally underused setting in general.

 

[Abu Antar]

Could it simply be Geneforge 2? We'll see soon.

We're getting close to launching our next Kickstarter. A really exciting remaster, which is already getting lots of new fun design and stuff. More details coming soon.

Here's a newer tweet, but the KS is not for Nethergate.

How about a new game faggot.

How about a new game faggot.

Look what that got us...

Us ? we are not his target audience since a while.

Queen's Wish: The Conqueror: Enhanced Edition

 

[Covenant]

I saw the topic and assumed it was a joke, but I guess a fourth version of Exile is fine too. Zoomers are probably crying out for a version that works on their iPhones, after all.

 

[Infinitron]

Of course it's Geneforge 2.

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

Couldn't he just do it as a hobby while he enjoys his pension?

 

[jebsmoker]

nethergate remaster?

Don't understand developers who make things compatible with ipad, iphone, shit like that. Especially Jeff's case where his whole niche is that he makes a certain type of game zoomers are unlikely to touch. If he's going to do that, I'd really prefer him put his shit on the switch. The audience crossover alone seems like it has a high chance of justifying doing any release onto any platform period. Is my 9 year old nephew likely to pick up a game that not even zoomers would touch when he sees it on the ipad store, Jeff? You're selling to the wrong audience, man. At least let the people who play shit like "Triangle Strategy" and Octopath Traveler have new overlap with your audience.

Jeff is learning from the best triple A devs out there. Only remake, remaster and shitty new games no one asked for.

tablet ports for complex computer wargames and rpgs sell, so someone is buying them - games like those can have very low system requirements

I've been repeatedly told that the iphone/ipad market makes a lot of money, especially compared to android. I guess it makes sense, how many people who like apple products have you met that are major consoomers?

I think the iPhone/iPad audience for Vogel games would actually be not so much zoomers, but rather 45+ oldfags with wife, kids, 9-5 job etc. Guys who played Ultima IV back in the day, but now don't really keep up with gaming/think they don't have time for it. Most mobile/tablet gamers I know are not zoomers but gen X/boomers. Zoomers are happy with PS/Xbox and even PC.

Out of his 50 games only 3 are worth playing.

I'm trying to piece together in my mind what the typical consoomer who buys things on the ipad looks like but I'm shooting a blank here.

You'd think they'd just play on a PC then. I suppose I can see them settling into bed, next to wife, pulling out the ipad to drown out the briefing for tomorrow's yard work before they knock out.

It better not be Avernum 4. I finished that last month and I was pissed I couldn't play exclusively with a keyboard like the previous ones.
