Hi all,
Thank you all for taking part in this Endless Day 2016! It was a very exhausting day for all of us and we're hoping to surprise you even more throughout the year. In case you missed the whole thing, don't worry, here's a short recap.
Livestream
Mathieu and Romain went live on Twitch to talk about the studio, what an amazing year 2015 we had, our projects (current & upcoming), Endless Space 2's development progress, and they even made a few exclusive announcements detailed below.
Check out the replay here: link.
The Allayi
Meet the Allayi, a brand new faction that is coming in Endless Legend's next content pack: the Shifters. They will be able to shift during winters. All factions will also be able to collect a new resource called the "Pearls of Auriga", enabling them to unlock new powers through the "Altar of Auriga" and modify the upcoming winters' impacts.
Our VIP players are already testing it before everyone, but there's still some work to do before you can all get your hands on it. As usual, we'll reveal more info as we get closer to the release.
We're hoping to release "Shifters" in April 2016.
Endless Space 2 Wiki
Time to speculate on the next factions we will reveal...
Well, you know which one is coming next (hint: you don't want to be their neighbour), but for now, check out the Sophons heroes, their lore, and finally, the first spaceship we've unlocked: the transport ship! We'll update the website fairly often so if you don't want to miss anything, make sure you've bookmarked it and subscribed to our newsletter!
Here's a link to the wiki: http://wiki.endless-space.com/ Enjoy!
Giveaways
We had some key giveaways running on Twitter, these always go pretty fast, but if you're interested, we have a big Endless package to win. You simply need to follow us and retweet this.
The package includes:
- An Endless Space artbook
- A signed copy of Endless Legend
- A Beer2Gether coaster
- A Beer2Gether t-shirt
- An Endless Space 2 button
- A Sophon button
- A Cravers button
Our Dust infused beer isn't included unfortunately. We'll pick a winner on January 25.
Thanks to the Beer2Gether participants as well: we don't always open our studio like this to so many people, but it was really fun to have an office party with all of you!
It was a blast to meet you all, chat with you about the Endless game, share a Dust infused beer, and give out some goodies! It's also always nice to put a face to a forum/Steam/Twitter name. We'll see you next year, hopefully.
Part 2 of the evening took place at the bar next to the office, where we held a mini Endless art exhibit. I took some pictures for you. If you happen to be in Paris, go see those in person at the Zic Zinc as they'll be staying there for a little while:
Thanks again for your great support and kind words we keep receiving almost everyday on the forums, Facebook, Twitter, or in our mailbox. And good luck with the giveaway if you're participating!
By the way, the in-game "Endless" events will be available in Endless Space, Dungeon of the Endless and Endless Legend until January 25, so you can still permanently unlock your Steam achievement and Endless Archivist hero now before it's too late.
Cheers,
