Geo 2 - Development Update #7

Its been a good few weeks since the last update however please be assured I am working endlessly on Geo 2 to make it the best game It can be. Here is some new stuff!

HQ Customisation

AS you play through Geo 2 you will be able to increase the size of your HQ which allows you to build more rooms, you will also be able to unlock different locations to have your HQ such as an arctic tundra or a volcanic cliff top. There will be many more of these to unlock as you play through the game.

Crates

As you drill you will find crates which contain special power-ups and abilities. When the game starts you can only find a handful of these crates however as you explore space you will recover stock for the market place, one of the main stock types you will find are new power-up crates. Buying these from the store will unlock the crate and it will begin to appear at random throughout the games drilling sites. Here are a few of the crates you can find. (There will be LOTS of crates to unlock)

Kira - Tutorial

Meet “Kira” your new and improved Geo assistant robot. She will guide you through setting up your Business and step you through some of the basics when you first start playing. She can also be called at anytime from the help menu and explain in detail the many aspects of the game and for those who go in deep with the game she will break down some of the advanced techniques and mathematics behind the games systems.

For those who don't like tutorials she can be just told to go away and you can figure it all out for yourself.

She isn't quite finished yet but she will be soon.

Sound and music

While I cannot show this in a image or Gif I can tell you that most of the music and sound is now in place and it is great! Injekted (Dude who does all the Windybeard music) has outdone himself with this OST. 32 unique, smooth chillout DnB for you to drill too! If you played Geo 1 then expect that OST but on a whole new level! The OST will also be available as a DLC and will have full soundtrack plus album edits of each track for a total of 64 tracks!

Kickstarter

This is still in the process of being finalised, When it launches (Hopefully very soon) I will give you plenty of notice to jump in and check it out. There will be some great ways to support the game and place your own stamp on many aspects of the game from designing planets to crafting your own crew members!

Other Stuff

Outside of all this I have been working on less exciting aspects of the game such as bug fixing, balance and content data entry. While not explosively entertaining it is amazing to sit back and see the progress on Geo 2 and I can tell you now that if you enjoyed Geo 1 then you are going to love Geo 2!

I am honoured to have a very talented artist PEET involved and assisting with Geo 2. He is super talented and has worked on some of the greatest games in the world! He is designing the characters for Geo 2 (and some other cool stuff). Check out this image he is currently working on for Geo 2!
