A few words on the plot

Those who played Sector I of the trilogy already know the sad story of party secretary Gomulka, who was instructed by the Supreme Soviet of Unterzoegersdorf to send the people of US-Oberzoegersdorf a clear message of discontent! But he got captured when he tried to burn the American flag on the Tumulus hill. Sector II is the story of his rescue. Commissar Nikita Perostek Chrusov is a professional. He knows what needs to be done.

Oh yeah!

I've been waiting for a return to the land of incredibly limited freedom, and now it even has Jello Biafra in it - I almost have to out myself as a true monochrom-Fanboy here! Well, Berlin is not on my agenda, but I'd love to see your presentation.

Maybe I'll come to Vienna one day, knock on your door and perform a modern dance inspired by conspicuous consumption to honor your awesomeness. Go Soviet Unterzögersdorf!

[Darth Mandarb]

In those three years you clearly didn't have time to read the forum rules

Please do so and PM me (do not start another thread) when you're ready to comply!

Thanks!

PM was sent, thread will be updated shortly...

[The Ivy]

Oh man, this is exciting!

I absolutely loved the first installation of this game, and showed it to a lot of my friends (the ones who I thought would get the humour, anyway ). Kudos to you for working on this for the past few years; I was worried it would never see the light of day. Nice to see you've kept the FMV cutout style, and the ridiculous propaganda. I have a weakness for that sort of thing, you see.

[LUniqueDan]

Yeah great news comrades!

I was sooo waiting for this.
(In front of my so-called "computer", playing superficial "games") 

[MrColossal]

Hooray! I can't wait, I loved the first game to bits... TO BITS!

I must have "Never Surrender!" 6 times before I finally gave in...

[Miez]

[Dave Gilbert]

Short version: Yeah!  Long version: Hell yeah! I loved the first one bunches.  I remember reading that you were going to make the rest of the series commercial?  Is that still true?

[fra]

Short answer: no. Long answer: Well, first we thought of it. But CC is much more fun as you get so many great people supporting the development - we never would have been able to pay them. So the game development had to run on low priority, that's why it took us almost three years to complete sector II of the trilogy (an other reason is that the lead programmer changed).

thanks for the flowers on sector I, hope you'll like the sector II as well!
guess the game will come in hot and straight from the oven on Dec 28, as we still are working on cutting the voice tracks of the player character... Maybe we will need some more days. But we will see.

Forgot to add: Anyone who likes to help porting the game back from 3.1 to 2.72 is welcome. Please write to suz-game@monochrom.at - thanks.

[xenogia]

Is it such a major thing that you can't release the PC version now and then port back to 2.72 for the linux and Mac versions.  And there is a huge difference is functionality between the two releases.

[F1ak3r]

^If he did that, the Windows version would be smoother and more modern than the others, and that wouldn't be very equal.

Wow, I admire your determination. Rebuilding all that work on an inferior platform (AGS 3.1 > AGS2.7, not refering to OSes) so that you can cater to people of all OSes. Good luck.

[bazook]

Was looking for news about Soviet Unterzoegersdorf 2. So I found his forum.

I guess you should just release it under Windows. There are great emulators for Linux and OSX and I'm sure Linux and OSX users will understand your decision.

Can't wait to play it!!

Let the proletarians sing with joy! Let us
celebrate a glorious triumph! We will release
part II of the Soviet Unterzoegersdorf 2D adventure
game for free download!

March 7, 8 PM. 3359 Cesar Chavez, San Francisco, California.

Political dissenters will be dealt with.

The computer game is a tribute to the proud yet
imperiled republic of Soviet Unterzoegersdorf
(pronounced «oon-taa-tsee-gars-doorf»), the last
existing appendage republic of the USSR. The tiny
enclave maintains no diplomatic relationship with
the surrounding "Republic of Austria" or with the
Fortress "European Union".

The downfall of her motherland -- the Soviet
Union -- in the early 1990s had a particularly
bad effect on the country’s economic situation.
Now the picturesque communist state is facing a
serious lack of resources, lack of space, and
lack of population. To make matters worse, party
secretary Wladislav Gomulka was kidnapped and
brought to US-Oberzoegersdorf. We must use every
tool at our disposal to rescue Gomulka! Including
plenty of classified soviet technology, a proud
tradition of bureaucracy, the recognition of
North Korea, and a pond full of radioactive byproduct.
