Do you know anything new that is going to be in D.R.O.D. The Second Sky?
If yes, write it down, so that all the players can benefit form it and spread it around. (Please post only if you really know, not just a guess). Probably no one knows anything yet, but it's worth a try. :yay

This is exactly the type of wild speculation that always gets people into trouble. I, on the other hand, can solidly confirm that there will be floors, and I believe the current plans are to include both walls and crumbly walls as well.

The roaches will definitely be new. Old roaches were all killed in DROD 1-3...

Hm...I'm not particularly fond of sarcasm, especially towards a new member, even if usb's topic was a little out of place, but Maurog made me laugh like a monkey digging himself out of a mountain of pineapples. :D

I know that hardly anyone knows anything other than the name and it has something to do with the lowest point, but does anyone know anything else?

Unfortunately, the people who know are probably not in a position to post about it on the forum. Some will have given their understanding that what they hear ahead of time is in confidence, and others will be trying to do what's best for the game. So I hope people won't become too frustrated if there aren't very many serious and informative answers in threads like this one.

On second thought, I just realized that I have a brother who's friends with a guy who worked with a guy who once thought about a guy who was roommates with a guy who once imagined things about The Second Sky, so with that clear and important line of authoritative information, it is probably inappropriate for me to make that comment I made before.

Please disregard my previous comment. Act as if you've never heard that they've.

(It's out dated anyway. It turns out, instead, that they're. And soon they'll. But you didn't hear it from me.) :shutup :whistle

Serious Answer(tm)
I would think the plot of TSS would wrap up the Archivist/Patron problem (probably with some variation on the Thirty Xanatos Pileup)
There would probably have to be some major reveal about the nature of the mothingness, more information about the Pit Thing, and other things a good final installment would have.
It will probably end with something epic, too.
Or Caravel will do something entirely different and surprise us all.

Discussing what's going to happen is like trying to observe things in physics. Through observation we effect the events themselves.

[I don't know, it's supposed to be some random unknown scientist with a Scottish accent I can't imitate in text who apparently had a very expensive - and very small - spedometer. You know what, just forget I said anything. I tried.]

Okay, I think it's about time to resurrect this thread! :yay

I'll even mark the event with a non-default post icon.

I did a quick Google search, and I see that there are tons of game sites that already know of the future game. These sites have a lot of potential for spreading false rumors and disinformation about the upcoming game. Take, for example, this page:

http://www.gamespot.com/deadly-rooms-of-death-the-second-sky/

See? You never know what could end up getting discussed about TSS on their forums. Trust me, you don't want to take the chance of being mislead by all that misinformation. This is the place to get the real lowdown on DROD 5.

Anyway, to get this started, here's the first bit of info I can share. DROD:TSS will feature a new DROD 5.0 engine, which will support a separate "skin" when playing each of the previous official DROD titles. When I say skin, I mean it will feature full support for displaying the distinct title screen, title screen music, sell screens, and credits screen for each game. We'll also have all the JtRH music back for the first three room styles. All of the new music featured in the newer styles will be still be present. In other words, it'll be pretty much like having all your previous DROD games in a single install, just with all the goodness that a 5.0 game engine will provide! Naturally, you'll have to own and download the official holds through CaravelNet in order to actually play them here. This will be the definitive game engine to support all DROD game engines.

This sounds great, Mike. Will architects be able to design their own title screens, credits, etc. or is this limited to official holds?

That's a great idea. I don't know how difficult it would be to implement but I think it would add a lot.

All I know is what exists on this thread - it explains exactly what Beethro saw beneath Lowest Point, and from there you can surmise how it "changes everything".
