L3O Horizon Game

I plan to post some photos on our twitter account from GDC. I will also post here when I get a chance during or after.

Hey Zaimat got any juicy news about new game yet? Things are coming along, since the new year we have made a lot of progress on Strategic AI, Performance and Bugs fixing. Things are pretty fluid right now, a lot of internal QA. I will also be at GDC (Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in 2...

Can you tell us something about the victory conditions and how you plan to keep end-game entertaining. The story quests in Horizon 1 allow for diversity and the diplomatic victory avoids the end-game conquest all system. Conquest : This will always be a big part because our games are designed aroun...

I wish Hotseat / multiplayer was possible (or that we had been able to do it) but this can only realistically be accomplished by changing the source code, there are many parts that would have to change to accommodate it.

I'm Happy to hear you all are having fun playing Horizon regardless though.

Hi Oromoss - The game isn't designed for Hot Seat Multiplayer so it would be really difficult to mod it this way.

Planet colonization and management will be more detailed in the new game. We know some players liked not having any micro-management many others wanted to have more to do, more choices. We are looking to add more depth by virtue of individual Buildings and Population units which will be housed on ea...

Sounds excellent. Just curious, how did you select the races that would only be minor races? Why these races? We had 4 "minor" races in Horizon, these were the Barbeck, the Barsig, the Gargals and the Humans. So except for the Humans the decision was to relegate the others to minor status...

Tactical Combat is very important to get it right for us, so special attention has been put into improving the systems over what we had in Horizon. Among the improvements is the level of control so you can play very hands-on or at a high level more like a commander. The system is built to accommodat...

Thanks. The game play is where our focus is also right now.

Noted. We will post something here when it's that time.

Happy new year! Have you decided if their will be any new civs in new game? I would like to but we wanted to get the main Horizon races before adding any new ones. So far we will have 8 as major factions and 3 as minor returning from Horizon's 11 races. The races have all been re-imagined and re-des...

I haven't played Mount and Blade: warband but know of it. I can definitely attest to the power of mods though. If I get a chance to play this game I'll look at the mods. Most weaknesses have been addressed in the past posts, to which I mostly agree with all of them. But, to me main one is a player c...

You are right, a first look of the new Har'kan ships. Here is a HD version of it. Cheers!

Best wishes for the Holidays from all of us!

Hi tcmots - thank you for taking the time to post here after watching us from the early days. Your experience with Horizon and excitement for our new game is very encouraging to us and we can't wait to share more information about it. If you have any other feedback about Horizon I would love to hear...

Will we get a new Wallpaper for x-mas?

Indeed we are. That would be nice wouldn't it? Will see what I can do.

The difficulty level changes are not shown in the game. But the tech progress will be affected by the values I mentioned in my previous post. This data is in code only so it is not possible to modify right now through the text XML files. In my previous post I said you can mod but after reviewing 'th...

Thanks for your feedback. Yes it would be nice if we had a slider to adjust it in game. Right now the Game difficulty setting affects Research Production (and other things as well). That's the quickest way without changes. Very Easy = +20% Easy = +10% Normal = +0% Hard = -10% Very Hard = -20% Other ...

Yes we are almost ready for Gamescom. I will be at Hall 3.2, Stand B-019G all day on Wednesday the 23rd of August in the Canada Pavillion if anyone is planning to attend the event. I've prepared something for those who can't be there. Please private message me from here and provide me with your emai...

Happy Birthday, I hope you had a nice cake to celebrate! I will have more details as we get closer to Gamescom, things are still being worked out but I will try to do something for those who can't be there and are interested. About those games, I don't know much about them just that they are in deve...

Some news I thought that might be of interest if any of you go to Gamescom this August (21-26) or live near Cologne, Germany.. I will be at Gamescom showing our new game so if you would like to see what we have been cooking (or just to say Hi) either at the show or a venue nearby I'd be happy to mee...
