Hibernated 2 devlog
Let me take the opportunity to also share some exciting news regarding Hibernated 2. I've been working on it for quite some time and it is coming along very nicely. The sequel will follow the story of Olivia, Io and Vlad as they arrive on the homeworld of the alien masters, far away in the Andromeda galaxy. Vlad was built on this planet thousands of years ago, so he is going to be your ideal companion while you explore the surface of the abandoned world. Io, now controlling the alien ship that you've found near Proxima Centauri, will stay in orbit but remains to be at your disposal via communicator. Uncover a dark fate and chase an ancient artifact that, in the wrong hands, could destroy all biological life in Andromeda and the Milky Way. And the wrong hands are already reaching out. Cold, vile and more evil than anything you could ever imagine.
Hibernated 2 will continue to bring lots of Infocom-style story content with rich prose and clever riddles to the player, similar to what the Director's Cut did. But I wanted to give the sequel a rather contemporary approach, so it meets the expectations of casual modern gamers. The most significant change is a reduced set of verbs that allow you to play the game: GET, EXAMINE, USE, GIVE, OPEN, CLOSE, PUSH, PULL, TALK. Some of you might have already guessed it. This is a 1:1 copy of the menu you find in many LucasFilm point and click adventures like Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle. My inspiration comes from the amazing game "Unhallowed" which was the first text adventure I've played that did something similar. And I loved the experience so much, I knew that for Hibernated 2, I wanted to go a similar route. And if you haven't played Unhallowed yet, please do so. It's so good. So much for now my fellow crew members. Ad Astra!
