Space Giraffe 2 ... Jeff just hinted on Twitter ...

SG in VR? Might just blow my mind in pieces! Everywhere, the mess lol


@llamasoft_ox, when I'm done making this lightsynth I am so going to do Space Giraffe 2 in VR. I'll have the perfect tools to make it with, that's for damn sure

We can live in hope

I have a hard time playing SG, I keep thinking it's Tempest, which I know it is not, perhaps I just LOVE Tempest too much!

[Deckard]

Well he just said it in this months Edge so thats a promise isn't it ? Although "building towards it slowly" sounds like it might be another few years

Wouldn’t there be a significant risk of falling foul of Atari’s legal dept again?

Not if you are working for Atari surely ?

[phattslagg]

I thought Atari didn’t want anything to do with VR?

The native PS5 release of Akka Arrh will have a VR mode so I think we're past that but I doubt Atari would be involved in the release of SG2 as it's not their IP.

Based on some of the wrong negativity that surrounded SG1 I'm not sure I'd call it SG2.

It doesn't matter what the name is, those people are still going to be damaged goods.


But a new name could be fun. Space Bison? Space Badger? Space Squirrel? Space Chihuahua?

I think the name is long enough in the past to not make any negative impact. possibly if it does get mentioned at all it might be a net positive with comparison talking of improvements and better this or that than the original etc.

Hope it retains Space Giraffe DNA but changes enough to be far from tempest and still reminiscent of the Giraffe.

VR would be a massive feature for me. Really makes Llamasoft games shine brightly in gameplay better than ever.

What did you ask it?

[Deckard]

What would be a good name for a sequel of the space giraffe game by Jeff Minter?

Apologies Giles, but I didn’t want to confuse it too much !

[Whiteball]

So I've been playing around with GPT4ALL which you can install locally and use offline. It can be loaded with many different models.

I asked it what a follow up should be called:

- Galactic Giraffes
- Cosmic Crashers
- Starbound Giraffes
- Neon Nectar
- Intergalactic Giraffe Riders

[Little stoned kiwi]

- Neon Nectar

Oooh, that's good!
