A Valley Without Wind - a procedurally generated MetroidVania

It's not on yet...but it's already proposed...

Hmm, I see.. Still, its not bad looking, little rough at times, but not bad.

Sequel coming up...anyone who have the 1st game will get 2nd game for free...and the game will be sold bundled with the 1st game...

I REALLY love Arcen, the company is just awesome!

Nice o.o Though that doesn't sound like good business choice, but still nice xD

These changes are necessary, The first game was actually quite boring after continent 2, Everything felt repetitive and horribly grindy(even dying), This new thing is actually closer to a true Metroidvania with a little bit of AI War for strategy, I approve.

Ok, played the sequel a bit...one of the biggest change is the fighting against overlord...now he seems to also go against you (instead of just waiting on his throne like the 1st game), so the resource and survivor dispatch and such are also importnat...also...class...

Well, this might be a bit of a necro, but two things:

First, the devs have announced that Valley 2 will be officially released as version 1.0 this coming Monday (the 18th).

Second, some things you simply can not make up... so grabbing a screenshot seemed like a good idea: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=126295238

^ /me waits for imminent Madoka joke

Also...already? Huh, that's pretty fast...good though, I'm waiting for AI War 6.010 patch...

Actually, apply a little crazy thinking and you could make a decent argument that Valley 1 P Cs and Incubators are a lot alike...

And yeah, the devs announced the release date less than a week ago, in a patch note blog. And you're not the only one, although I'm also waiting for Expansion 5 (interesting side note, apparently they're thinking about an expansion for Valley 2 as well)...

Its kind of bizarrely different from first game yet similar.

"For a variety of reasons, we've also chosen to give Valley 2 to all those who purchased the first game for free, and those purchasing Valley 2 will also get a copy of the original. The titles are, and will remain, bundled together on Steam and elsewhere."

Neat.

(Checking Steam)

And there it is. Downloading.

Ah, someone mentioned that earlier.

^ It's more than 2 months ago (I played the beta on Steam back in December)...

^^ It has very different focus though...objective wise I mean...

Well, it's officially released on Steam (well, yesterday.)

Also for some reason the music in the world map is still from Ai War...

There are few other tracks too

^ Yeah, just heard Midnight track...

Also, finally mouse control! And for some reason I just realized that I can exit the map to the right after blowing up wind generator instead of needing to backtrack...

Wait, you didn't realize that before? O_o

Nope, and I feel REALLY stupid...

Yeah, don't forget that in the first game, most of the regions had a dead end if you went all the way through them. It's actually a nice change.
