Introduction
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Zamn, it’s been months since CC has been undergoing this major update. When I first joined CC, I only joined because Devil had commissioned me to make a thumbnail GFX for the game. However, when I actually joined the game I noticed that there was really a lack of architecture design, custom created assets (not free models), etc.
When I noticed that, I offered that I create several assets for CC. Once I regained access to the Studio, from there I spotted the many flaws that I couldn’t originally spot. With that, I proposed an update consisting of remaking several areas and make it more better in another term. However as time progressed, it felt more like that we’re making an entirely new game.
Well, that’s true. With what we have in store right now, it’s clearly remarkable. The sheer amount of change and difference in design really stood out with what CC was before.

What’s Been Going On in TMS?
Well, for starters, me and Vnuxa has been really active in terms of development. With me handling the architectural design, I’m really proud of one of the recent creations we’ve made.
Now, on with the update. The update will be consisting of 2 phases,
-
1st Phase: Dawn of the Crescent*
-
Dawn of the Crescent will be the early phase however the most ‘game-changing’ update ever in CC. Consisting of 5 sites, outdoor environment with a touch of urban architecture, and also new systems for the players. Thegold has also been giving sneak peeks of our new armors.
-
Now, you guys have probably a lot of questions and curious. One of the main questions is that, “Is the game optimized?” To answer that, yes it is absolutely optimized. We have in the last months have been optimizing our assets and buildings with plugins that allows us to modify the properties that makes the asset to be far optimized. These properties are commonly partshadows or partcollisions, we’ve also taken account part counts.
-
Of course, do not fear. We have also primarily used Meshparts instead of Unions as Meshparts are proven to be much more efficient and optimized than Unions.
-
-
2nd Phase: The Beginning Chapters of the Era
-
The 2nd Phase will bring out lore and architecture that we wanted to put in the 1st Phase, to which however we disregard as we do not want our players to be waiting that long.
-
This phase would primarily focus on lore architecture, and lore documentation. We have not thought this far yet onto the 2nd Phase, so changes will occur.

The Occasion
As time flies, I often look back and remember the incredible memories that life has brought onto me. Whether it’s my friends, close relatives or family.
While we were developing with CC, of course we had our rivals, our fights, our opinions clashing on each other similar to the rapid and fast waves smashing onto sharp yet numb rocks on the shoreline.
But we also had our laughs, we had our jokes. That’s what I like about Crescent Corporation. As a “gamer”, we used to play games for entertainment; however we now use games as a vessel to escape this brute and vile reality. As humans, we always seek much faster and shorter ways just to enter our ‘safe area’.
I wish that Crescent Corporation becomes something like that, a game where people can play as a community and the game reflecting Earth’s nature. However, it also acts as what a game should do: Entertainment.
Crescent Corporation shouldn’t have too many strict guidelines, nor should it be a game where it cash-grabs users, hence why some of our road signs or interior designs are a bit ‘funky’. Crescent Corporation is a game where monkeys suddenly became sentient however yet they try to adapt into civilization and attempt their ways to be superior than humans.
From my imagination, I wish that CC will become a hub, a game where people for diverse communities, races, genders, and other characteristics can play together and laugh it all off at the end of the day.

It’s Not The End of the Chapter, it’s Just Another Page.
Crescent Corporation has only just started and we plan to become better than what we were before! Due to a special event, these are sneak peeks of the proud sites and architecture we’ve made in these prior days!
I once again thank the developers, assistants, QAs, and all of the community that has been patiently waited. Although a specific timeframe cannot be disclosed for when the update is released, we expect months until we are ready to publish the 1st Phase.
Enjoy these sneak peeks, and have a good day/night. Make sure to safe keep your bananas!
PS: If any errors are spotted, I apologize. I rushed this post.
