To be honest, I was beginning to worry that he died.  I'm so glad I was wrong!

it will be interesting to see what LUKE does next. i thought he left Banished and was working on other stuff. as good as Banished is, it would be neat to see what his 3rd or 4th version is. with most games that is bout where they get the best version.

like SC the 4th is the best. then they switched it. i don't think many picked up the newsest cut.just looked at Civ 6. it too looks like it went left and is more complex than 5.

Civ 6 is an excellent game.  I've been playing Civ since the first one, and I think I like this one the best.  It certainly is quite different from all earlier ones, but it's beautiful and interesting.  It's worth your time and money if you enjoy 4x games.

Did you read Luke's blog post?  Most of what he was talking about went right over my head.  I'm hoping someone here can translate.   :D

sounded like a free build game similar to Banished but he is upgrading. goina keep the terrain simple  so our older comps can play it.

Yes I'm hoping that's what it means .... Banished 2 would be great, much as I like the existing game there are definitely a few things that I would like to see changed

I said he wants to create the new game so that he and the community is able to mod it. Rly like that!

 ;Dif it's true that Luke will return to Banished, maybe Banished 2 will continue - great news. I am a fan of this game, it is a good therapy for me, it calms my heart, we can detach ourselves a little from reality. Regards Luke, I wish you all the best and good for 2021.

Once again this is extremely technical stuff.  Perhaps you modders will understand it.  The screen shot of the new game looks lovely, though.

He posted again today.  Some interesting detail about his plans for the new game.  http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/2021-02-16-designing-the-ai/

I like the sound of this sentence

"What I'm trying to explore this time is a colony simulation that is higher in detail than Banished, with a smaller set of villagers. This includes things like beds to sleep in, each villager owning equipment that's stored somewhere, and having skills unique to each citizen that are needed to make the village work. I'd like to slow down the simulation to days, including time to sleep, rest, work, and join in town festivities, like weddings or annual celebrations"

@Goblin Girl thanks for keeping updated about Luke's work. I have to admit to being distracted by other things and not paying much attention to his latest efforts so your posts are a good reminder for me to actually check his development posts.
Thanks again  :)

Goblin Girl

LOL good!  I wasn't sure anybody was reading them.  I'll keep on posting updates.  :)
