Where / When did you first hear about Antilia?

	Liska Bystrouska I first heard about it from MrPhaux, ten days ago, in a Second Life IM. I registered in a matter of minutes, and am looking forward to the weekend when I can actually get a taste of what's to come.

Thursday, January 24, 2013 11:03am lostwolfe i am [originally] greywolfe. i've never been able to remember my password for my account or i'd be using that ;) mid-2006. i'd been watching the [slow] development of earth eternal, and was hoping i'd get to play that at some point. i'd been looking for games like it for a long, long time. then rightbraingames sort of went a bit dark - but not before i snagged [and played with] toi. i sent jeff a message right after he announced that he was going to work on other things wishing him well and kind of fell off the planet for a bit. found this forum in 2007, posted for a little, but then went awol again, since earth eternal looked like it was shaping up to have an actual alpha. got into that game's alpha, went through the original sparkplay beta, was quite devastated when it shut down the first time. when it shut down the second time, i'd barely played it. didn't like the new changes and was /very/ anti the need for a facebook login. after that, i'd had hopes of inherit the earth ii coming along, but that's been sort of in hiatus, as well. i check in with antilia every now and then, just to see how the project's doing. i'm very grateful to jeff and his volunteer staff for the work they've put in and the wonderful game it looks like they're building.

Welcome back, lostwolfe. There is an Inherit the Earth 2 Kickstarter going on right now, sadly things don't look very good. The kickstarter pitch is sparse on details, consisting of little more than a basic description and a few concept art images. When I first found it I was planning a thread for it here - but there just wasn't enough information being presented and my interest faded. (I personally don't back projects on name alone - I need to see some indicators that the people making it are capable, hard-working, and have exciting ideas for the project. The kickstarter should sell me on the idea and the people making it!) Maybe they'll get it together before the end, or launch another kickstarter sometime with more information. Still, if you're a fan of ITE, you'll probably want to take a look and decide for yourself.
