Voted, will be interesting to see how this turns out. Visually, this somehow reminds me of Blue Stinger, one of the launch titles for the Dreamcast back when and which I enjoyed a lot.
EDIT: Also, wallpaper material.

this has prompted me to have another play of the original, highly enjoyable classic. ill keep fingers crossed the sequel sticks to what made the first great, its going to be a tough job to do, like all sequels.

Anyway, there is a trailer already.
"Charles Cecil: It’s been in incredibly exciting, if somewhat hectic, month. Two back-to-back trips to California, culminated in the announce of ‘Beyond a Steel Sky’ as part of Apple Arcade yesterday. The Event at Apple Park was extraordinary. We were joined by Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Annison, JJ Abrams etc., (btw - the game features at 43 mins - https://www.apple.com/apple-events/march-2019/). Apple has always been a fantastic partner – we published the original BASS on the App Store in 2009. And just to confirm that the game is also in development for PC and Console."
I have no source for it since I copied this from another discord server but if somebody would want the source I am sure I can get it.
Don't know if you are aware but there is a community patch available for removing those awful portraits and those dots they added. Does not make it any better to include those in the first place but if you are interested in those patches that render the DCs nearly the same as the originals I could send them to you.

That's great news. I'm not entirely convinced by the graphics shown in the trailer but I'm nonetheless really looking forward to it. And of course voted!

Using an existing 3d engine and scripting , only create some 3d images to look like BASS style , seems to be easier cause point n click games drawings take too much valuable time to draw, 3d makes it easy just change the skins and the game is done cause the engine can be borrowed, :D

It's a freeware game/series of games in adventure game format(made in AGS, I believe) set in/around a futuristic setting similar to B.A.S.S. Definitely worth a recommendation, imo.

In this case you really should not. Somehow it's even a shame that this great classic is given away for free. So come on - right now - download your copy. You won't be disappointed.

Voted. Played a bit of Beneath A Steel Sky but really need to get around to giving it another go and finishing it.

The first game taught me that freebies should not be simply disregarded without at least some basic research. There was some amazing worldbuilding in BaSS.

A classic of science fiction if there ever was one, I will be waiting for this!
