Endless Migration 2 Announced!

I’ve been working on this game off and on for about 2 years, and it’s finally in full swing!

This time, the flock finds itself lost in time after straying into the Bermuda Triangle. It’s up to you to guide them through millennium after millenium of danger, including the western front of World War One, an early fireworks celebration during ancient Chinese New Year, and the advent of the Ice Age when a terrible meteor shower killed all the dinosaurs.

I’m totally stoked, so I thought I’d share with my favorite online community! Check out the teaser video:

I’d love to hear your first impressions of the game and any suggestions for development.

And, I’ll be posting updates, including a playable demo next week on my facebook page, so stay tuned for more:

Wow! Visually, it looks great and the different time-zones are a great new feature which should be interesting. I liked the first one, and this looks like a great improvement. Should be a really good game! Well done :)

Brilliant, I can’t wait!

Oh my god, this is awesome :D

I cannot wait!

Awesome! It looks great.

Is there any chance that GOML 2 is still in the works?

First impressions of Endless Migration 2 is that the plot sounds really cool, the gameplay looks as fun as ever, and the graphics look similar to the first game but updated nicely. I can’t wait to play it!

I guess my suggestions would be to load it with tons of stats to make multiple badges, including a hard badge, possible. And upgrades, upgrades, upgrades! As many awesome upgrades as possible.

Hey everyone I’m so glad you like it!

First, GOML2 is definitely still in the works. Since I’m collaborating with my good friend Stu on EM2, and we’ve been totally kicking butt on it day after day, I have sort of put GOML on hold for the time being.

The new upgrade system is going to be pretty great in my opinion. It’s all based on anatomy now, so you will spend your points on adaptations for the birds. For instance, an upgraded syrinx will make your bird song more powerful, which means you can grab birds into your flock from farther away. Some adaptations will affect the whole flock, while others might be specific to one bird type (or a subset of birds, such as water birds).

Okay here is a mockup of the new upgrade system!

Each bird will have a 0 to 5 unique adaptations to purchase.

It looks awesome! I can’t wait to play it. I’d happily be a beta tester, if you’re looking for one.

Also, it really looks like there’s space for a sixth upgrade in there! :P

Yup, totally looking forward to this. I loved the original EM and can’t wait to get playing on this one! I’d happily also be a beta tester, if you need some.

I just posted the demo on Kong and launched the Kickstarter! Thanks for all the support and the two years of patience while I stopped releasing games to go get a graduate degree in designing games.

The demo:

The Kickstarter:

It’s currently a bit easy (because it’s a demo and it only has glimpses of the first 2 environments), but I’d love any feedback at all on it.

I threw in a few achievements that should be kinda tough, because who wants to play a nerfy game, even if it’s a demo!

If you like it spread the word and thanks everyone for all the feedback so far!
