September 28 Livestream Recap

JuliusBorisov

Today Beamdog Producer Luke Rideout and Marketing & PR Manager Lee Guille shared the latest studio news, updates and plans on Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition and the Infinity Engine EEs. Luke showed the current state of Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition on Android (everything showcased is still work in progress).

Check out the quick recap.

Good to know Beamdog is adopting smaller patches more often, with 2.6 already announced. This is a good move, another good move would be to release a Soultaker questline for BG2 that closes the hanging plot thread from the otherwise fantastic SoD.

We’ve done a lot of bug-fixing for the 2.6 patch. There are 65 (!) spells now fixed to correctly follow the rules.

Can somebody provide a list?

I missed the stream for medical reasons but i read recap and watched rerun on twitch and I agree with @ThacoBell 100%, good job guys keep it up.

I also agree. I'm glad to see you are going to be doing smaller patches and that you are going to work on getting them out across each platform better.

I'm super excited about True Type Fonts. I need this badly for my vision issues that can't be corrected with glasses. Even if I had great vision, this will be a nice update once available (including the fact that it was part of the process to get it to mobile platforms).

I haven't been around awhile. Is there possibility to revamp BG3: Black Hound project or a game like IWD3?

I've read about project in Unreal. Would the game be full 3D or 2.5D with 2D backgrounds ?

@JuliusBorisov any idea when to expect this patch, at least a rough ballpark guesstimate? Next year? Next quarter?

I like your optimism:)

GreenWarlock

The last patch took over 4 years and 5 OS releases - I'm optimistic that 2.6 will be a little quicker than that

@JuliusBorisov, will the inventory lag get fixed with Patch 2.6?

Thank you for your response.
I knew this thread, but I didnt realise that this tells me whether to expect a solution for 2.6, or a later Patch.
I just go for the 2.6 now and hope it will fix the problem for everyone, once and for all. :-)
Btw, I really appreciate the ammount of work Beamdog puts into polishing the Old IE games and your work for the community, thank you all!
