Hi everyone!

This sequel will be named Candy Box 2 (quite original, isn't it?) and will feature candies, swords, epic quests, enigmas, secrets, and even lolligators (they are like alligators but their tails are shaped like lollipops). This sequel is a complete rewrite, and it will be a lot bigger than the old game! Here's a list of the new features Candy Box 2 will provide :

  • New quests, weapons, choices, NPCs, spells, resources.. basically new everything (and a longer lifetime, too!)
  • New weapon types : there will be more than swords!
  • The ascii art is completely new and was designed specially for Candy Box 2
  • Keyboard shortcuts to access the different tabs and to do actions in quests
  • A lot of surprises 😉

Also, on the technical side :

  • The ascii art will be placed under the CC BY-ND 3.0 license, which means you'll be able to use the art in your own projects if you want to (without paying anything).
  • The game code will be placed under the free software license GPLv3, which means you will be able to change the software to suit your needs, share the software, and share the changes you make.
  • Both local and online saving will be possible, to allow offline playing.
  • The game will be compatible with low resolutions and I'll try to make it compatible with smartphones and tablets as much as possible, but keep in mind it will always be better to play on a computer (if you want to be fast in quests, you'll need keyboard shortcuts)

The sequel will be released around October. It will, just like the previous game, be completely free of charge and won't display any kind of ads. I will however add a donation system, if anyone want to donate something (I received quite a lot of mails about this), though donating won't give you any advantage in-game. The money would be used to cover the server costs and help me to add new features & content to the game after the release. Also check out the blog reviews for the best gaming chair and best gaming desk.

I will update this blog regularly with news about the upcoming game and answers to the questions I receive by mail.

With love and candies
