Gas Powered Games is working hard on Beta 2 of Demigod. We don't have a definitive date for it but we're hoping to get it out before Thanksgiving so people can play it over the break (that would be next week).
Now, so far beta testers have only played the engine test. That was basically just to see compatibility and performance. We've taken that data and the GPG team has increased the game's performance dramatically.
Beta 2 is where we get into the "meat" of the game. As we've mentioned before, beta 1 wasn't supposed to be fun. We're delighted some people found it fun but it wasn't really meant to be fun.
Beta 2, by contrast, is where the fun starts. How fun it'll be depends on how many of the features get in. Below are some of the key features beta 2 will introduce:
We also have some surprises that we hope will make it into Beta 2 but we can't commit to that or whether they'd fall into Beta 3.
Sounds like all sorts of fun. Do want
The waiting! It burns!
Wohoo! greatly looking forward to it
Looks great , I can't wait.
Heah, that ryhmes. Damn I nearly caught myself in time.
Oh god, oh no, oh shit. I am not sure I'm able to quit.
I must just be too overjoyed, that this Demigod I love,... will soon be deployed.
(It is even funnier when you hear me sing it.)
lol.
Looks like I'm not the only one losing his mind over Demigod.
Annatar11 securely fastens Trigeminal into a straitjacket.
- waits impatiently.
Ke5trel produces feather, begins to tickle the bound and hapless Trigeminal's nose.
Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?? Oh.. they're laughing from amusement? Carry on, then!
It's like early christmas.
W00t.
This game gona be soo great. Buy it People!!!
Indeed : woot

*cheers*
(to the cadence of chug! chug! chug!, that frat classic)
We're going to need a crowbar to get the grin off my face.
No problem. Just tell me when.
The roster is QoT, Sedna, Vamp, UB, Rook, Reg, TB, and Oak.
So post-release we are potentially looking at Occulus, Porygon, Yoshi, and Usoll (Unnamed Steampunk-Owl Leotard Lady)...Can we have official names for the last three?
And yes, this is awesome news
@ Kestrel: where did you get the other demis from? What do we know about them... iwant infos asap (willing to trade for Karma...go karmajunkiies go)
You forgot the LAWPQ
Occulus is a minotaur-like Demigod. You can find pictures of him in the beta files if you look around a bit. I have some info on how to find the stuff here. The rest are just made up, probably (probably based on the other ones that had concept art in the beta files, actually).
I'm so looking forward to playing the generals! Thanks for the good news Draginol!
Any chance you can tell us which maps we can expect and if the achievement made it into beta 2?
if you follow Gnat3's link, tesb, you'll see several character portraits. # 5, 6, and 12 have been informally called Yoshimitsu, Porygon, and Usoll on the forums, but we have no names for them. # 8 is Occulus, he's a general and there are achievements listed for him in the Lua files. Pretty sure he is blind All I got
Peace
Nice to hear there'll be more of the performance upgrade! I hope all the features can get in before Beta2
I...
Can't!
WAIT!!!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG omDG OH MY DEMIGOD!!!
And btw, I'm interested in seeing the new Regulus!
So, is all of next week considered the 'break'?
Great news and thanks for the update. The game is actually a ton of fun for me; even in its current state. Bring on Thanksgiving.
Will it be playable for users with non ASCI chars in ther local folder path?
That would make my day.
