General E2015 discussion

June 10, 2014 2:12:01 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

What is E2015?

It's the code-name of the next game in the Elemental game universe.

Where can I find out more?

In the Founder's Vault: http://e2015.stardock.com/

How do I become a founder?

That time has passed.

Any sneak peek for non-founders?

So to what degree are we allowed to talk about it? There wasn't an NDA, and obviously we can't just give the documents away in their entirety...

I think my biggest question is if the antagonist's champions are persistent, or just pop up around the world through "magical portals" whenever the AI feels like it. It would be very cool to see a set of champions on your enemies' side grow over time, and thus I develop a sort of animosity towards them ("holy shit, that's the guy that killed my guy! and he's wearing his damn sword too..."). On the other hand, if they just get spawned in and then die in a few turns, that'd be totally disappointing.

And if I'm not mistaken, there seems to be some "tower defense" mechanics in there as well. I really have no idea how that will blend with a 4x TBS game.

There's no NDA.  Just don't want what's in the vault posted outside the vault.

Yeah, I've read the design documents a hundred times and I *still* don't understand how this game will play. 

 

Can we please have a gameplay demo ASAP?

The same for me. Maybe I should list as Armed Forces Europe? Apart from that, the eshop seems to deny my card. Never happened to me before, anyway, will try my different one...

Looks like Stardock doesn´t want new business (joking)

You should rename this pack "believer" pack instead of "founder" .

But in my case, you are lucky i believe in you.

Damn, I didn't even notice this until today! How long will it be offered at that price? Not sure I can afford it this week...

Also, what kind of stuff is on that vault page besides the FAQ? More screenshots?

Well, I did like Elemental. So I'm wondering what the system requerments will be. I'm stuck with a not so strong laptop. I can (barely) play Elemental: FE on it, but I'm wondering if the system requerments will go up with E2015. I don't mind low resolutions, but I would like to know if I could play the game. So I know that all the answers to the questions are locked up in the vault, but I would like a public answer to this one.

E2015 has lower reqs than LH due to optimization.

I have to say that after going through the vault documents, I am very interested! This is precisely the epic clash feeling that LH misses and it seems to be great fun!

Also, I have noticed from most of the screenshot, the graphics are rather lush, fairy-taleish...have you considered more dark, gothic theme, since we are facing the great evil one? Or will it be a contrast with the lush green, as he starts consuming the world?

You made your long time and devoted customer feel hype once more

Ah, thank you very much for your answer!

Edit: It would feel like steeling from you again... Elemental was worth it's price for me, than I got FE and LH for free.

That's intended. The parts not yet ruined by the bad guy are pretty, lush, etc.  But his areas are...well, you'll see.

We're having to put in Vsync because the perf is so much better due to the engine update.  I should do a big shout out to Intel who has worked really closely with us on our projects. They have been amazing.

Are those Intel only optimizations, or did Intel just help out in general? Just went with AMD recently to utilize Mantle, hopefully that isn't gonna bite me in the ass!
