Hi guys,


Welcome to the new Games2Gether platform! As you’ve noticed, we’ve packed our things, and moved to this brand new website and forum, so you will still find all the content of previous Dev Blog articles, threads, contests, and G2G votes here.


Our goal with this new Games2Gether platform is to give you the tools you need to impact the development of Endless Space 2 and our future games:


  • TRACK: follow the development of our games and get to know the talents behind the scenes.
  • SHARE: make your voice count by giving feedback on early versions, propose ideas, and vote for art and game design elements.
  • DESIGN: participate in contests and design elements that will be created by our team.
  • PLAY: the most active gamers will play unreleased versions, get invited to gaming event and meet the Dev Team.


While we’re still in Alpha, we can’t wait to hear your feedback on the new platform. :)


Regards,

Amplitude Studios

After the initial confusion (where are my g2g points, where are my games, etc..) I have to say that I like this new format.

The new badge/g2g points system is simpler and clearer than the previous badge/achievement/experience/g2g points system, and that's a very good thing.


I have three comments/questions:


1) The old system had more forum-related achievements (i.e. number of messages, number of created threads...); will this features added gradually?

2) In the old Games2Gether part of the site, each game had a short description and a work progress page; right now I can't find them, it could be useful to have them back in the new homepage.

3) I searched, but I cannot find a link in the site to get back to the homepage...


There was a fourth thing I noticed yesterday, but I completely forgot it...


Of course all this comments are related to the present Alpha version


Anyway, as I said, I like the new site!

I didn't know this site existed until the Sega announcement today, where have I been!? I love the Endless series, looking forward to contributing via this site over the coming years.

New website is pretty neat. Nice work. I noticed that my account says that I have not participated on any G2G votes. Is that a bug or do the votes on the old platform not carry over?


Thanks.

New site is looking pretty good. Nice work. My account says that I have not participated on any G2G votes though. Do votes from the old platform not carry over or is this a bug? Also I tried to leave a message on this blog a few hours ago but it never showed up. Just an FYI.


Thanks

It looks exceptionally good, pretty good design actually but honestly I loved the responsiveness and simplicity of old forums. This kinda feels like moving from Win 7's UI to Win 8's Metro UI.

It went live yesterday, that's why. :)

Votes did not carry over, so you'll have to pay attention to the new ones when they're up!

I'm looking forward to seeing this all up and running, and I like the separation between the different games as it allows you to look at a specific games development

I absolutely deplore it.  Please go back to the previous iteration.  Now everything is so huge and blocky when before everything was nice and compact.  Websites have the tendency to go big and blocky lately and its actually really terrible.  I have to scroll and scroll to find anything and its just a real turn off to using the website.

Same here.


I realy liked how easy it was in the old forum to see what the recent posts were and what your friends posted. (Lets see how the new friend system will look like)

and

I realy like the new platform only the "newsfeed"  for the most recent posts is a bit underwhelming and not as nice,clear and handy as the old one.


Also I miss the option to link very specfic posts on a thread for example post number XX from thread X.

It was realy handy. Its alpha but I wonder if that option is gone for good.

It's the easiest if you connect your Steam account to your G2G profile.

That's what I did and shortly after, all my Amplitude products from Steam got registered here, including DLCs.

No more copy-pasting CD-keys or bothering Frogsquadron to do it for us ^^

Where is the option to do that?

In your private profile (click your avatar in the header).

New design is strange, will need some time to get used to it :)


Problem I have (bug or feature?) is that I dont actually own Endless Dungeon/Legend, only Space, but my profile gave me badges for all three?

We're aware of all of this, we've some ideas of all to handle all of this issue, and you should be able to give your opinions on all this :)

1- We've decided to remove this kind of achievements, mainly because it encourage spamming, and one word's post that are not very usefull.
2- That's definitely something we want to bring back, but better than ever.
3- This page is temporary, that's why we don't want you to get used to it :p

Is there a friend system?  I use to login to the old system and get to read sovereign's comments on the right hand side.  I am an older gamer with limited time do you work; I just want to catch up on the well-written good stuff:)

Hi there, I have endless legend Emperor Edition, all dlc, and the same situation for the two other Endless games. However, I only have the basic badge for ES and ED, and don't even have the badge for EL. Help?

It can take up to a full day before all badges are unlocked, we'll enhance that. It should be ok for you now.
