Game News Underrail Dev Log #61: Expedition expansion releasing on July 22nd

[Luckmann]

Am I the only one that saw this:

​

And thought this:

 

[Tweed]

No, but I didn't want to mention it.

 

[Luckmann]

No, but I didn't want to mention it.

Should I be afraid?

 

[Twiglard]

About goddamn fucking time.

 

[Wunderbar]

Styg
non-obfuscated release please, we want to make mods

No, I am the developer here!

at least allow fan-made localizations!

 

[Tweed]

Should I be afraid?

Very.

 

[SenisterDenister]

as well as at least one more paid DLC.

As glad as I am to see this, I want to ask about the potential sequel. Seeing as how the first ends, timeframe wise, you think you could ballpark when a sequel would begin production?

No, but we will talk a bit more about our short and medium-term plans after the DLC is released.

That's fair. I'm interested as to what the next expansion could be about since Expedition is a huge mid-game addon. Would it be more end-game content? At this point in time I'd assume it would be. Whether you want to divulge any of that is up to you, I'm just kind of speaking out loud, so to speak.

 

[damager]

Great. I was delaying my playthrough for the expansion. Which with a hindsight wasn't that smart decision.

Me too. Will there be more coming in the future or is this the last addition to the game?

You should just wait, just in case there is another expansion in 2022.

No. Better no. I am tough so I will overcome this temptation.

 

[MurkyShadow]

As this cruel universe won't let me shut up and jam with Barkley 2,
I shall be returning to the Underrail. Not that this wasn't my plan anyway.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I gave up on Barkley 2. I mean based on what I saw it didn't have anywhere near the flavor of the first. That was some divine working there and it just can't be replicated. Maybe they were drunk, possessed, or altered reality set in when they made it. (shrug)

 

[Styg]

I'm hoping to get to that at one point. But that's a lot of boring work and I'd rather make more items or creatures which is infinitely more fun.

 

[Jezal_k23]

I can't buy the expansion on Steam yet. I'm getting anxious about it. My money, why won't you take it????

Wow. It's great news, but when this is all over I'd love to learn how Stygian went from an expected release in the first half of 2017 to a three year development cycle.

What?

Instead, I would say it was an ......expedited.....release schedule....

 

[cherry blossom]

Another expansion down the line? Do you plan it to also be a mid-game expansion or a post-game one this time? I've been itching to pick up the story where it left since forever and no kidding, it has been years already.

The game systems aside, I also loved the story and the lore. It drew me in like few other games did.

 

[ScrotumBroth]

Styg, what will be the price?

Wow. It's great news

Sounds insincere coming from a guy who hasn't played Underrail yet (judging by Steam at least).

Infinitron with his best Owen Wilson enthusiasm for a non Obsidian game.

 

[cherry blossom]

(referencing my own previous post above) Or are you planning for an epilogue a prologue/prequel expansion for the next one, Styg? How and from where exactly did the PC land in the SGS? Really, though, how did they become a citizen of SGS? The talk about having passed some test was always too fluffy.

Now considering that the PC starts at level 1 at the beginning of the game, a direct prequel might not make complete sense stats-wise. Or maybe it can? Either way, please do not torture us with another mid-game expansion.

edit: meant to write prologue

 

[razvedchiki]

Underrail is basically the game plus mods with all the finetuning it had got,no more mods are required (well maybe the one that speeds up the game).

 

[HeatEXTEND]

Either way, please do not torture us with another mid-game expansion.

Great excuse for another go, what's not to like

SEQUEL OR DEATH

 

[Ivan]

wondering if the 2nd DLC is going to be standalone

SEQUEL OR DEATH

Why? Eventually we will have the base game + 2 DLCs + perhaps a Directors Cut version. After that I'd rather see Styg tackle a new project altogether with the same talent and passion.

 

[ItsChon]

Something that would be awesome would be a game that uses the same exact engine as Underrail in a new universe/setting. Change up some of the mechanics, and just give us a new story and experience.

 

[Jrpgfan]

IMO the strongest aspect in this game is the exploration thanks to the stellar worldbuilding and level design and not necessarily the engine, so it doesn't really matter what engine it is made in as long as it keeps the same quality in those areas(and the core mechanics and design philosophy also).

Because prequels are usually hackneyed and suck. They also mentioned before that some things are being left for the sequel.
