A: No specific plans that we can share for now, but possibly.

Q: Is there a way to make a soundtrack for DDS2?
A: We’ve just posted a music challenge so take a look there! And if you miss that chance, go to our Discord Server music chat and ask K. Pietras, the composer, himself!

Q: Any chance you can add me into the game with the name "Darth Trace"? haha
A: General Kenobi?

Q: Are there Easter Eggs in DDS2?
A: Wouldn’t be an Easter Egg if we spill the beans now, no?

Q How many saves/profiles can you have in DDS2?
A: The cartel progress runs on one base save + backups, you can create as many cartel instances (playthroughs) as you’d like.

Q: Is there a jail system?
A: Yes, but we don’t want to spoil more details for now :)

Q: Making money means being able to spend money. Is there anything new in DDS2 like buying luxury goods or prostitution that I can enjoy my daily life with the money I earn?
A: Oh yes, there are a lot more ways to spend money in the game than in the original, up to some very expensive ones.

Q: Can I not only sell drugs but also produce raw materials and build production lines?
A: Yes, the lab system is much more complex and improved.

Q: Will there be a new skill or technology tree?
A: There will be unlockable perks for both playable characters as well as your cartel.

Q: Will I have black market stores or shops to sell drugs?
A: There will be some wholesale clients on the island, yes.

Q: Is there an economic system with a supply-demand relationship?
A: Yes, demand for specific drugs can rise or drop as a consequence of your actions and it affects your sales and client base.

Q: Can we bribe the government or even puppet a government?
A: Maybe not an entire government, but there are bribery options and some political aspects to the game, yes.

Q: In the later stages of the game, will I still be a peddler running errands and making deliveries, or can I become the boss of a drug empire?
A: You can become a boss, there is a much more complex progression than in the original.

Q: Will there be hunger and thirst?
A: No, there are some environmental threats but no survival mechanism.



Q: Will you be able to find weed strains all over the map and breed them to create new strains?
A: There are a few strains available and you grow them from scratch, yes.

Q: Are the things you learn in the game applicable to real life (asking for a friend)?
A: The production systems are researched and inspired by real-life processes, but are not precise and are simplified to the game needs.

Q: Will we be able to set prices for a specific mix? Will dealers sometimes try to avoid paying?
A: You decide on what drug or mix you distribute for the specific drug demand and have some control over the pricing.

Q: Can we get a client who is a scientist (imagine) and somehow allow us to have easier access to the necessary supplies? Or maybe even sell us out?
A: Not clients, but there are world NPCs that either sell us items, byproducts and equipment or can help us unlock tech and knowledge to improve.

Q: We know we will have co-op, but will we be able to create separate empires on the same map?
A: No, the game is based on cooperative PvE, all players share one cartel.

Q: How many different types of Drugs will there be?
A: We will inform you of the full list closer to the release. We are still considering some changes.

There you have it! Brains still working after that influx of info?

Been waiting? Good. So here is Q&A part 2.

Q: Will you be able to switch between single player and multiplayer? If you start a multiplayer game, but then that person can’t play a session, can you play solo, and then switch back to multi when they are available?
A: Yes, you can freely migrate your progress between coop and single player sessions with various players. If the player who resigns is the host, he can share with you his save files for use solo or host the game for new players. We put a lot of effort into making it as flexible as possible.

Q: Will the Steam Deck Controller be supported in the game?
A: There are no plans for this for now. We might consider it after the full game is released.

Q: Do you plan to expand the RPG aspect (character development, decisions that affect the game world)?
A: Yes it is expanded from the original game, but I wouldn’t compare it to a regular RPG.

Q: How much bigger is it going to be from DDS1?
A: A LOT! There are multiple times larger play areas including villages, towns, and wildlands as well as water paths for boats (rivers, ocean)

Q: Will it be server-based multiplayer or locally hosted?
A: We plan on doing both, but we are still planning on how to handle dedicated server support.

Q: Will it be possible to play the game on a Mac?
A: No, unfortunately, Windows PC only.



Q: In co-op, can you and your "partner" focus on different drugs?
A: Yes, you can divide the tasks between players in various ways. Production, distribution, expansion, business, questing. You make your strategy.

Q: Will we be able to focus on making just one drug to base our market on for roleplaying purposes, or will we need to diversify to be sustainable?
A: Diversifying will give you much more clients and more sales, but you can scale your operation to any extent you feel comfortable. You can go through the entire game only focusing on one product if you like.

Q: Do you have people mixing for you, or do you have to do it all yourself like in DDS1?
A: NPC’s help in production and you have more options for big batch production (larger scale equipment)

Q: The game will be co-op, but will we be able to be rival drug lords or will we have to team up?
A: The gameplay is a cooperative PvE. All players play in one team.

Q: I dream of seeing the work of a cook in this game, like in the movie "Breaking Bad", will there be such a system in this game? If so, I'll cry with happiness.
A: Yes, but someone has to deal with distribution. If you want to 100% focus on lab work, you’ll probably need friends or at least do the initial leg work to set up your distribution with NPC’s

Q: Will there be a system to build your own house (with a lab, multiple floors)?
A: There is no building system, but there are a variety of apartments available from flats to warehouses as well as villas and houses with yards.

Q: Will there be drug use animations (smoking a blunt, snorting coke, or popping an oxy)? Will I be able to take drugs like in DDS1 (with additional animations)?
A: There will be some, yes.

Q: Will there be a realistic chemistry system (ability to synthesize drugs from precursors)?
A: The production system is based on deep chemical research we did, so it is somewhat “realistic” but simplified to the game's needs so it’s not too complicated and enjoyable.

Q: Will the weed plantations be realistic?
A: As mentioned above, yes but to an extent. It is simplified.

Q: Will there be side hustles/businesses?
A: Yes, there are side quests, break-ins and other activities.



Q: How are you guys at the office handling all of our love, support, and impatience?
A: We are big boys and girls, we’re handling it
Q: Could we have influential people in the game to deliver drugs to? For example, having the composer of LeLeLe 2.0 represented in the game as a client and increasing our rep with him can give us access to progression events or give us additional perks?
A: There will be some, but we don’t want to spoil them.

Q: Can we choose more specific amounts for the packaging instead of 1/3/5/10/etc.?
A: Yes! The packaging system is improved and more flexible.

Q: Can we accidentally (or purposely) give more drugs to our clients that make them happier with us or something like that?
A: Yes.

Q: Can we bribe authorities to get out of sticky situations?
A: Yes, in some cases you can.

Q: Will there be achievements?
A: Steam achievements? Yes, definitely.

Q: Can you have a crew of dealers?
A: Yep! You’ll unlock this option as you progress through the game.

Q: Will we have the opportunity to grow our business with a really big order like 200 kg of weed?
A: The amounts you sell and distribute highly increase while you progress.

Q: Sex update when?
A: Got the wrong game here, pal, Lust from Beyond is this way 👉 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1035120/Lust_from_Beyond/

Part 3 coming soon!
