Virtual Villagers 2: Title Announcement

Since the game will not be out in time for these coming holidays we will at least announce the title of Chapter 2. Coming soon is also a new developers diary from Arthur, explaining more about this new chapter. Stay tuned!

Interesting title!! I can tell VV2 goining to be a ccoooolllll game!!

Thanks for the info. I can't wait!

Sweet! I like the artwork!!

So--when you say "coming soon"--Is there an ETA or anything?

No Rush--just..well ok--if you COULD rush--that'd be great.

Cheers!
Anna

So what your doing now is torturing me for Christmas is that it? no I don't mean that I'm glad to have the tease...kinda

i think that is a good title. i just wish they would tell us more about it. i can't wait for it to come out. i love the art work on the teaser and i'm sure the game will be GREAT! i would also like to have an aproxamate release date so i can save up for the game. i hate the waiting game but i think it will be worth it.i just hope this time the ending will look like some sort of ending so you don't have to wonder "is that the end or is there something i'm missing?"

"Virtual Villagers go to Never-Never Land"

OK - that was just the Lost Boys, but ...

ooh, this is torture, but in a good way too!

my overactive little brain is racing with scenarios for how it will start! like it needed more fodder, lol

i (btw) will be home for christmas, and happy to beta test over the holiday (worth a shot lol)

top notch. just hurry up and get it out there!!!!!!!!!

Have I hear of Lost Children somewhere else before?
Good just a bit too modern

does anyone know when virtual villagers 2 will be out?

Nope! The last word is they are still working on it. It sounds like the earliest would be early February, but that is just a guess on my part.

Perhaps you are thinking of Peter Pan? That had the lost boys in it.

so thats where my children went when they dissappeared into the woods? Lulu and Bob didnt actually die!? lol

I just got rid of the GC! Don't tell me you found him already

I added a new small image preview (this is part of the boxshot)in the home page of virtualvillagers.com

How cute! It looks like they are in a storm!

Neat, Carla! And your right VI, it does look like they are in a storm!

Is there anyway to find out the date of first distribution? I want to make sure that I put in for a vacation day and get rid of everyone in my home!

Just joking, I know you can't give out dates. But I sure wish ....

lol that is funny QuickStorm, I would want to do the same if my vaca days where not already used up

omg vv2 looks really good on the offical website page its says coming though and details now i think that 2 vilangers go back and find a child from the last child and its speacial or something im exicited now!

good game 97 percent completed

vvg game i just wish there is any table with how many villagers are working on tasks, so i can better assign them to do what i need them to do

1 more thing can you have more than 90 people? i heard that there are 2 places you can go on this so is it like 90 in each one or??

thankyou xxx

Wail. Could not find the page you are talking about, but I did go here and saw a preview of some of the new villagers. One looks like he has a white face and green hair sticking up on end.
Cool beans

I cannot wait.

http://www.virtualvillagers.com/instructions/thelostchildren/index.html

did you go to virtualvillagers.com?

I wish there was a way to "punish" the villagers that just refuse to do their jobs, lol!

Yes hurry up with VV2 - I can't wait either

Has any one got all their Tech and 90 population but not finished the last puzzles? I have and realized that I did not designate a builder along the way.....is there a solution to
this or must I delete and start over?
Thanks B

I answered your other post. You really don't need to ask the same question in multiple places.

Will there be a second Village Sim?

I hope so, and I would still want to keep my list on one for ppc!!!!

I have finished virtual villagers 1 and loved it. I cannot wait until virtual villagers 2 is done.

Hey Barb
Where is the answer?
I have looked but no can find...sorry I am new at this
Thanks, Betts

There's an easy way to find all of your posts. Just click on My Stuff at the top of the forum and then click on My Posts. You'll see all of your posts (or the 200 most recent posts, if you've made more than that).

The post you're interested in is here.

Hurry up and wait on the VV2.... That is like taking the kids on vacation to Disney World and we are sitting in the back seat and asking are we there yet!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

ya it is but the last 3% is bata testers the longer it takes the funner and longer it is. So we know it will be longer than the first one I have 8 of 16 puzzles done yay me

I cannot wait until part 2 comes out I already beat part one.

lol nor me is it in beta testing now?

I love the pictures for it so far, can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all finished! If it's half as addicting as the first one, I may never leave my room again! *impish grin*

yeah i cant wait till it comes out

unrelated to vv 2, just wanted to let you know v.i. jr I like your avatar. We are from Indiana and rooting for our
Colts.

Thanks. Nice to know we have fans out there

lol im so exited to

Is it me or is it taking forever for VV2 to come out, that last 3% is a killer waiting!!!

Hi all hope everyone is having a gr8t day vv2 should be released mid-feb. Thats what the e-meil said that i recieved today. It is still in beta testing.

Wow, I wish they would hurry up, absolutely can't wait much longer!!!

My three year old and I are wait on pins and needles! C'mon you guys! We can only open the cave so many times!

I hope that in VV3 that you can change your villagers clothes into the GC robe it looks so awesome!

that would be cool

thanks

Wish I could have gotten into the beta

Love VV

me too on both bata tester and love of VV

yeh I applied for beta too but no

Finally! My granddaughter and I are desperate to play the next chapter. Does anyone know if the first chapter wil be incorporated with the second? I hate to leave 'my people' just hanging out by the beach! (Is this a really dumb question with an obvious answer of "DUH!!!"?)

Lin

I think LadyCFII said it will not be incorporated with the second chapter.

Nope it wont. Its a stand alone game.

Man, that stinks. I was hoping to incorporate my people from my first game in to that one eventually... That would have been cooolllll....

Edit: Does anyone have an approximate date for the release yet? I know it was mid-February but does that mean like next week or the week after or what? It is driving me nuts logging in every day and seeing only 97% accomplished and no release date looming in the future....

The email I got from LDW last week said it would be a few weeks. I just figured that mid-February meant somewhere around the middle of next month.

That's another thing. I signed up for the newsletter but don't get any info regarding release dates for things, am I doing something wrong here???

When did you sign up? The email went out on 1/25. It's also possible that your email provider blocks email from LDW or puts it in bulk or junk folders - there are several that do.

I registered with 2 email addresses originally in september to cover the 'if it doesn't get through to 1 scenario' and have checked both spam and junk folders and nothing there. I have now registered all 3 of my email addresses (all with different providers) in the hope that something will get through! Whilst I'm not worried about missing the launch of VV2 as I've been checking the forums every day since the beginning of December. It does say register for the newsletter and get discounts of up to 25% for the games, which obviously I'll miss out on

Have you also signed up for notification specifically about the release of Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children? I believe that the discount offers and notifications are sent to that list of people, rather than the newsletter mailing list, based on Arthur's comment in this post.

I checked all of my spam and still don't get the newsletter. Now what should I do?

There is a difference between signing up for the newsletter, and signing up for specific game notifications on the Previews Page. If you want to make sure that you're notified of the release of the new Virtual Villagers game, you should sign up on the Previews Page. If you already have done that and didn't receive the email that was sent out, you should sign up again. Something may have gone wrong in processing your previous request.

Barbara:

I just reread Arthur's post; when the game becomes available, I will purchase from you. I don't want to wait until later because I bought it from Big Fish.

Are you still looking at Valentine's for release? Ha ha, I think I'll get someone to give it to me for a B-day gift.

I tried to resign up for the newsletter again, so we will see what happens but thanks for letting me know LadyCFII. I also saw that people who bought the first game may be able to get a discount but I, like Quickstorm bought my game through Big Fish games so will I still be able to get a discount of some sort??

You should look at my last few posts about the signups. There are two different lists. Also, check out Arthur's post that I linked to earlier in this thread (about 5 posts up from here). It answers your question about discounts.

I've signed up again.. in both spots. I haven't seen any mail from LDW .. and I'm the one who does all the spam deleting at my domain

I kind of thought that by re-signing up I'd at least get the latest email sent to my addy.. is it not set up to auto-respond or do I have to wait patiently for a live person to send me a copy/acknowledgment of sign up?

I can wait patiently.. but I am counting down the hours until Valentine's day.. even if VV2 isn't released by then.. there is always the yummy chocolate

~misty

The emails are only sent out periodically (we don't like to spam people), and only by a real human. If you miss a mailing, signing up again will only help for future mailings.

I signed up for notification for the new game as well, and I haven't gotten anything either.

~Jen

Same here.

be patient the game is coming out. It takes a long time for a game to come out. But it worth the wait.

We will try to release it in this coming week. Hang in there!!

No, I meant I'd signed up for info on the game before and not gotten an e-mail it seemed others had gotten. I only signed up on the preview page, though, not for anything else.

Goody -Goody ... I go on vacation starting Saturday... 2/10...

do you have to have the 1st one download to play the 2 one

Nope. The second one is a stand alone game.

thanks

I LOOOOOOVE the cover!!

I hope they come out with a version for the Palm OS. Thanks
