D&D 5E Solasta 2 Announced!!!

[SteveC]

Solasta II can be added to your wishlist on Steam.

The Solasta II free demo should release sometime during the Steam Next Fest at the end of February.

This is really cool to know. I know the graphics and character voices aren't the best, but I really recommend this game. It really does a great job with the 5E rules, and the home modules are fantastic.

And the demo is available today! An early surprise treat!

Tried the demo last night. Much improved over Solasta 1 in almost every aspect. The graphic enhancements and acting were particularly notable.

The jump from Solasta 1 to Solasta 2, if the demo is an indicator, reminds me of the jump Larian made from DOS 1 to DOS 2. Not saying the Solasta devs deserve a shot at Baldurs Gate 4 if they successfully nail this game, but if they hit the same trajectory as Larian I wouldn’t be surprised or disappointed.

Played about 90 minutes of the demo. Graphics vastly improved. Combat still very fun. Encounter design is improved in terms of offering more than one way to approach encounters. Dialogue still dreadful, but for me the terrible dialogue has become part of the charm in Solasta. I hope characters still yell "That's battle!" when they crit.

My poor computer can't handle the demo.

It took a very long time to load up, but once it actually started it worked fine. Try giving it 5 minutes.

They haven’t managed to do anything with the lousy conversion/narrative tracking.

I suggest proving feed back and suggestions to the devs on that, this is the kind of thing why they demos in the first place.

I shall. Also I got my ass kicked it the climactic battle!

What surprises me is how convinced the devs seem that we're getting a 5.5 SRD any day now. If I was them, I'd stick with what's already in Creative Commons and add my own stuff, not make any bets on what will and won't be in a 5.5 SRD, or when it will be available.
