Well, I was just thinking... I play Cythera once in a while... And I think it's a cool game. But what would be even cooler, is Cythera 2 made on CS! New graphics, new storyline, expanded map!
I'm not gonna do it though... I lack of everything to do it! I'm just giving people who plan on releasing a game some ideas. Oh yeah, I thought you could just keep this thread open and post more ideas for artists!

Yep, I've actually thought it might be an interesting idea for the Cythera community to work on, but I've yet to put any serious thought into that. I also don't know what Glenn is doing -- I'd hate to infringe on him in any way.

Just to clarify, he means Glenn Andreas ("gandreas" on the webboards, I believe), not me.

Chill, don't speak about that which you don't know. You sound too much like an idiot when you don't even read or understand correctly.

OK, I'll see about getting this on track.
There's nothing stopping anyone from going ahead and attempting this, and completing it. If you're content to keep it on your machine, i.e. not publish it, then have at it. It would be a good way to work up some ColdStone chops if you don't have a finished game yet.
However, if you do want to publish it, you have to ask various people for permission, and you might as well do it at the outset to save yourself the labor if one of them says no. I'm not exactly sure who to ask, since I'm at work on a Windoze box :frown:, but the publisher (Ambrosia, obviously) and the people listed in the game credits (e.g.: Glenn Andreas, and the guy who did the music if you want to borrow that as well) would be a good start. Glenn/Ambrosia might be able to claim character copyright on the principle characters, so you probably can't just pick Hector and Alaric and company up and plop them down in an all-new place named Zithera and expect to get away with it. Now, if you decided to base a tale around saving the underwater realm of the Sea Queen Cirala, that might work.
There wouldn't be much point in just doing the game over, obviously, so what could be different? Besides fleshing out the landscape, that is. You could add boats to reach nearby islands, and guide characters, rope and mountaineering skills so that the mountains aren't just a big impasse. The combat engine and spell system might have to be totally reworked if ColdStone goes real-time. It looks like Coldstone is more immersive than Delver, which means you'd need to replace all the little windows and boxes (which I got fond of for managing a lot of things at once) with a more conventional interface.
Would it be veering off-topic to proffer plot ideas for a potential Cythera II, assuming for the sake of discussion that the developer had been given the green light? I've got a few ideas that I'd be happy to share.

Err... but can you post to it? All locking a topic is meant to do is keep it from growing. It's not meant to make it invisible.
Yeah, we do have the capability to delete topics here, but this isn't one of the situations I would do that in.
------------------ People who claim the sky is falling obviously aren't aware the earth is falling, too.
Sadly, Cythera was not an especially high grossing game. Not compared to EVO anyway... That's part of the reason why there isn't a Cythera II already. If we (the Cythera community) were to make a Cythera II, you have to think of this: Graphics Plot Programming (provided by CS of course ) Copyright (as was said)
As for graphics, I think kestrel and Talos know something about that. (maybe...) Plot, Heidel, Rogan, and a few others (namely me :))would have something to say. Programming, Talos has the beta and I could give it a try. (I couldn't hurt it too bad) And I'm sure gandreas would be proud to have a game made expanding his creation (with his name all over it like Gene Roddenbury on Star Trek ;))
Hope this helps
