Griswold the Goblin 2!

Posted by Phantasmagor Aug. 14, 2007 @ 6:03 AM EDT

Hey people!

Yes I am aware that Lilg and I have been talking about this sequel for a loooooong time, but now were serious. Griswold the Goblin 2 has begun full on production and we've made a lot of progress on the game so far and the whole storyline has been written up. So far we can't give any information on a release date since the game is still very incomplete, but were hoping to get it done some time this year, we can't make any promises just yet.

This time around Griswold will be traveling to many more different places, taking on whole new challenges and the game is going to be packed full of action sequences and awesome mini games. The game concept we had put together was so big that we have been forced to split the game up into 6 different chapters, each being in a totally different location in Griswold's world.

Lilg's graphics are truly inspirational in this one. His talents never cease to amaze me and this time the graphics will blow your socks off. Each scene is entirely different with no re-used elements such as trees and shrubs. If you remember from the old game each scene pretty much had the same graphics copied into each scene. Griswold 2 will be very different with every detail in the game drawn from scratch. A few characters from the old game will be making appearances in this game and have been re-drawn in much greater detail.

The interface in Griswold 2 is much more appealing for the user, with everything entirely point and click, so no more trying to control movement with the keys and interacting with the mouse. Everything is done with the mouse, and moving about is as simple as clicking on the screen and Griswold will do the rest. I've spent a lot of time working on the path finding system so Griswold will make his way around all the obstacles on screen. Also there are tonnes of other new and nifty features.

If you're interested in possibly checking out a demo version, please feel free to email me at phantasmagor@gmail.com. Also I'd love it if you could leave some suggestions for the game, or tell me what you think of this new project of ours.

Hopefully you're as excited as we are about seeing this project finished and up on good old newgrounds for everyone to enjoy.

Wow, sounds cool. I was very impressed with Griswold the Goblin and many of your other submissions (including Hewitt of course). I can't wait for it to come out.

PS Cool title screen.

I'm glad you've enjoyed our games so far. I'm sure you wont be let down and will absolutely love Griswold 2.

Yeh that title screen is a great example of Lilg's new style and quality drawing, its a little small there so you cant make out all the detail thats put into that image.

Thanks for the post

Great! I loved the first one, and I look forward to the second.

Thanks! I think you'll be amazed by the massive increase in quality

On an unrelated note it's disapointing that your forums have been taken down as the only that isn't easily found is a cockroach and money to buy flowers. I've gone through all of the obvious and non obvious senarios including trying to sell of that apple to the fruit vendor... didn't think of that did you :-d

But anyway... I imagine I'll figure it some day or other. Till then I'll just wait for the next installment.

Thankl god i've been waiting for this for a long time i love your point and click adventures they're so smart and beautiful but to be honest i have preferred Freds Adventure over Grizwald and Hewitt, simply because i found it more difficult but thats just my opinion, Keep up the Good Work!

Wow, cant wait for the sequel. The title screen rox ;) I love your games, especially Hewitt and Griswold, the last one being one of my favourite games in NG, and im pretty sure Griswold 2 will rock even more so hurry up, or i'll die from excitement xD. PS if u plan on making griswold fart again, make him fart less often, gets annoying.

Are you guys close to finishing the game? I can't wait to play. I know it will be great. :)

Feb. 10, 2008 | 10:32 PM Phantasmagor responds:

Oh hey Glam wow I haven't heard from you in ages. Gees I totally forgot to tell you about how the game was going and everything and sorry I never kept in contact about writing the story.

Errm well unfortunately Lilg has gotten really busy in his last year of college and also I'm going to be busy this year but we are trying to find time whenever we can to work on it. But unfortunately the production of the game has slowed down a lot and it might be some time before we release it. But on the bright side when it comes out you know its gonna be great considering the time and effort were putting into this one.

Anyway thanks for staying interested and everything and I hope we can get this game released for you soon :)

Your games were actually one of the main things that encouraged me to learn to code, unfortunately I don't think I could ever get a hold of you, only lilg so I never got any learnins' from you, but now I'm good at it scriptin' n' such, so it's all good. In fact, the lack of help I was able to find over the web probably is what allowed me to learn since I never had other people as a crutch. hope this one is just as good as the last!

Jun. 12, 2008 | 12:08 AM Phantasmagor responds:

Wow really that's amazing. I had a look at some of the things you've coded and i have to say in very impressed. I'm glad that you were inspired by some of our earlier projects. If you ever want to contact me:
