Re: RELEASE: New Path Chapter 2
I literally discovered this just in time for chapter 2's release, played through everything and I was very thrilled with all of it!

As someone who usually is more into story over gameplay, I really enjoyed everything overall. I still got a great thrill for the actual gameplay, but it was a fun story to be take through, and the cliffhanger of chapter 2 has me wanting more!

One thing I wanted to ask, in regards to something mention in your FAQ- IF you ever plan at any point to include voiceover, for past or new chapters, how can we audition? I did a little non-union VO work before, and while it's been a while I'd love to contribute! (Happy to for free btw, this is just too fun!)

I'm glad you liked it.  :)

Regarding the voice work: Since that's not really a priority for me, I haven't spent any thoughts on how to organize it yet. But as we have a dedicated Voice Acting board here, I think that will be one of my starting points.

But first I have to finish the remaining chapters ;)

Re: RELEASE: New Path Chapter 2
Overall I really liked this and am looking forward to future chapters.

A question about the plot though:  Though I don't understand everything about the GTVA's "New Path", it looks to be focusing on economic recovery and diplomacy instead of just military buildup to fight the Shivans.  Something I may have missed though...is the GTVA in the "New Path" universe still trying/wanting to get back to Sol?

They are, but not with as much priority as for example in the BP timeline, where getting back to Sol was the biggest priority (besides building better warships). I have some references to the Sol Gate Project in the extended information I  wrote for the Intel section of the Tech DB as well as in some cutscenes for Chapter 1. So in short: Yes, that project still exists, but it's not the focus point for the entire Terran part of the GTVA.

Update 2.0.1 released. It contains some minor bug fixes of issues found during the recent stream with RedmageJoe (thanks again for this opportunity). So nothing too wild here:

Patch 2.0.1 Changes
  • General: Typo in Messages.tbl corrected
  • Mission 11: Typo in briefing corrected
  • Mission 13: Bonestell now switches to IFF 'unknown' when disarmed
  • Mission 13: Number of drone waves reduced
  • Mission 14: Ursa added to ship selection
  • Mission 14: Player orders for irrelevant ships removed
  • Mission 14: Bug in the Hera collision logic corrected

PS: Writing for Chapter 3 is progressing nicely, 80% of the mission scripts have their first draft completed.
