Here's a video showing some of the early progress of Gish 2, this is not a trailer, just some graphics tests we've been working on. Some of the new features the fans might notice include normal mapping on the background, which is actually a pretty simple technique that will work on cards back to the GeForce 1. The other feature is soft shadows, what you see in the video is a bit of a hack, just to see how it will look. Soft shadows will probably require a fragment shader in the end, mainly because of optimizations that can be done with shaders. On older cards we will use the hard shadows technique from the original Gish. Also if anyone has seen Reggie make sure to give him our contact information, it appears he has lost our phone number.
