Machinarium 2 [expressions of enthusiasm]

[jst65]

Thanks for sharing Chris,
I would have posted in the "Machinarium 2" thread you quoted instead of opening a new one

Mod Edit: Good idea!  This topic has now been merged with "Machinarium 2". 

[Lucid]

That thread kind of got off topic :x

Ah I was going to repeat my suggestion here

YES, the ending of Machinarium implies the robots being taken away from the City, and a forest or some other "natural" environment would make a very nice contrast to the metallic metropolis of the first game.

That grove of nature should still be populated by only robots, of course! Robotic birds, insects, even a kind of primitive "tribal" robot-people!

I'm against having the Black Cap Brotherhood making a return; the focus of Machinarium 2 should be on getting back to the city, or saving their new home from some threat maybe that grove in my idea could be the last surviving bastion of organic life in Machinarium's world, and it was being encroached on by that wasteland we see surrounding the City in Machinarium 1, and your job would be to somehow protect that grove or something.

Either way, there's a lot of potential in that beautiful world no matter how Amanita choose to continue it. Just hurry up with the sequel!!

I just wanted to ask, if there are plans for machinarium 2 any time soon. Thanks for the info, vanilka

i would love machinarium 2, i am waiting eagerly for them to announce it! why not machinarium was such a good game and deserves a sequel!

[Wrenbot]

I've been looking forward to a sequel ever since I played the first screen (because I knew I would finish the game soon and want MORE)

It would be nice to have the PSN edition of the first one first, or maybe release both 1&2 at the same time.

The first one is coming to PSN, sometime next year guessing from this: http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,1133.msg5536.html#msg5536

Quoting Wren: “Actually, while the first Machinarium has a very industrial, very "metallic" theme, the second should focus on an organic, natural theme.

As in, green forests and woodland etc. maybe with some organic creatures even, and that is kind of hinted at in the final sequence of Machinarium after all, and with Amanita's art, that could be turn out to be something even more beautiful than the first game.”

I agree. And Dvorsky said something interesting in an interview: "[Czech Republic] was hugely industrial in the Communist era, and now it’s abandoned it’s beautiful to see how nature has begun to reclaim that space. All the rotten houses and rusting machines – I really love this kind of stuff where you can see nature taking back the inventions of mankind ”.

I'd really love to see a more organic world. Though mixed up with decaying buildings or such, and as Wren said, inhabited by robotic creatures and insects. Kind of the ones you see slideshows of in Machinarium, in the glasshouse (if I remember correctly).

This is a great idea! It might work well with brick or concrete buildings, just because they'd probably collapse and be overgrown in prettier ways than metal. Since the City is almost entirely metal maybe bricks would mean having a rural setting. That way it would be easy to have screens with ruins and screens entirely of nature in the same game, and I really like the idea of Rural Robots.

On an ever so slightly prejudiced note, how would you draw speech/picture bubbles with accents?

Sorry if I seem dense, but why would you have to?
As it is Machinarium has "translated" across most the the worlds' peoples.  (heck, even us Amerikans were able to figure it owt! now who's ever so slightly prejudiced?!   )

[divit]

It wouldn't make much difference, but it could be cool.
