@Lord_Mandalore I really, really really, REALLY hope the first trailer is just for the concept, i don't like how clean it looks and it deminishes a bit of original artsyle, I may be wrong, as it is first look, meybe it will be better, but i hope they may be able to get simmilar vibe to OG

@Datboi_DiJin No worries, it's at an early stage for announcement so a lot is in development (everything I've personally had hands on has also been WIP) and there's still -tons- to do, but having the game's existence out in the world is extremely helpful for the team.

@Lord_Mandalore unintentionally retroactively being a sponsor channel 7 years later it seems I'll take a sequel to Shogo, please

@Saint0cean This has happened twice now, and I don't think it's going to be the last

@Lord_Mandalore hell yeah we rollin

@alphyna Reality keeps feeling stranger than fiction these days

@Lord_Mandalore Always wished there was a roguelike version where it was scavenging, crafting, and surviving the nights. Guess this'll have to do. Stoked'

@Lord_Mandalore yooooo

@Lord_Mandalore This is good news I really didn't expect. A little daunting given Darkwood tied everything up so well, but if they can nail the vibe again and polish some of the criticisms from the first game then hell yeah.

@Lord_Mandalore I really do hope the 3D aesthetic is somewhat placeholder. The charm of Darkwood was it's 2d awkward splining, yet really messed up art and creepy atmosphere. The screenshots of Darkwood 2 look bright, they pop out, vibrant, etc.

@Lord_Mandalore "Darkwood II" wait WHAT? "by Ice-Pick Lodge?" WHAT? Then i saw the Steam page and my heart sank, but also really interested. Something is really off but also when i saw it was by Hooded Horse, I'm hopeful as well. Damn i'm so goddamn glad Darkwood's setting is living on

@Lord_Mandalore You're part of the Hooded Horse????

@Lord_Mandalore My fav game ever, one that I thought will never see any more content, suddenly gets A SEQUEL?! It's a bit sad it's not Acid Wizard directly, but if someone, I think Ice-Pick have what it takes to make it good. I've played Pathologic, I know they know how to create atmosphere

@Lord_Mandalore @CohhCarnage exciting!

@Lord_Mandalore Ice Pick are working on Pathologic 3 and Darkwood 2? Ambitious to say the least.

@Lord_Mandalore Wait... it's being made by the people who made pathologic series? Im expecting jank and misery, can't wait!

@Lord_Mandalore i guess i really need to beat darkwood 1 now. game spooped me too bad the first time i played it many many years ago. but i agree with others, they need to darken/dirty/clutter up the game more. its looking very sparse

@Lord_Mandalore Wait.. didn't they say they didn't want to work on another horror game?

@Lord_Mandalore I hope the style of the game matches the first one a little more in the finished project, the pixels gave it a charm, im so fucking excited.

@Lord_Mandalore Can you please ask them to fix their switch version for the first game? The "a" button just doesn't react at all, the game is unplayable for me. I found it to be a relatively common issue people mention online but no one is fixing it.

@Lord_Mandalore In 10 years you're gonna tweet out you're publishing dead space 4

@Lord_Mandalore Somehow the darkwood™ has returned....

@Lord_Mandalore //I totally mastered the original Darkwood on all difficulties & getting nearly every single possible outcome. I am so sold on this, so as long as they're 0%, And I mean Dead Serious, 0% use of AI. If there's even a sliver of it, I'm going to have an aneurysm. Plz, PLZ NO AI .🙏

@Lord_Mandalore Shit... We going back to Poland... Or.... Have we ever truly left?

@Lord_Mandalore So u just drop that casually, wtf man😂😂

@Lord_Mandalore i hope they improve the gameplay i played since alpha 1.0 of darkwood so seen a lot of changed even my shitty laptop and desktop salvage PC gave them minimum specs chapter 1 works fine but chapter 2 with DDR2 4gb of ram windows 7 32 bits some time later game crashes from ram lack

@Lord_Mandalore @Pyrocynical another 8 hour video essay when?

@Lord_Mandalore I'm anxious about a sequel to something like Darkwood, I think its a sterling standalone game with a very solid conclusion of its story Of course really all I'm hoping for is that it isn't shit, I think things like the CE remake and other drek has made me jumpy

@Lord_Mandalore I'm curious is Ice Pick the developers because acid wizard is so burnt out on making the first game? Love the announcement regardless!

@Lord_Mandalore I hope they improve or change the graphics. The 3D rendering takes the Charm/Opression out of the Pixel Art. Ice Pick Lodge is a competent team, but I hope this won't be another just another "flavor of Stalker"

@Lord_Mandalore I had the pleasure of meeting a couple of the Acid Wizard devs at SXSW in 2017. Talented dudes. Wishing you guys the best during development!

@Lord_Mandalore ...Not a fan of the artstyle, at all. But, Pathologic AND Darkwood devs working together gives me some hope it will be a good game afterall.

@Lord_Mandalore Just started playing the first darkwood for the first time this week, and it's been a hell of a game. Really excited to see what you guys cook up for the sequel

@Lord_Mandalore Mighty big shoes to fill. The first one is almost an lightning in a bottle. So good luck to them.

@Lord_Mandalore I literally cannot think of a better studio to take this on than Ice Pick. I'm surprised they even agreed to it.
