We’ve been experimenting around more with drones an AI and are starting to get those to work. Modeled a new cargo ship which will be used to transport and receive items from all across the galaxy(s).
We’ve also decided to make an entire Galaxy map, each galaxy contains 700+ systems.
Left to right: Eternium, Refined Eternium, Scrap Metal, Water, Crystal Shard, Velocium, Cobalt
There’s still more ores to come, and instead of explaining what each ore does, I’ll save that for another time, but I would like to focus on one; “Eternium”.
Eternium is going to be one of the most precious and quite possibly rarest resource in the game, and you may ask yourself why? Well, it’s because Eternium will be used to travel to new galaxies. The way it’s obtained hasn’t been discussed yet, but it’ll probably be through mining. Basically, Eternium is like a currency and each time you warp to a new galaxy you’ll spend some Eternium to get there. This could also mean you could get stranded in faraway galaxies if you don’t have enough Eternium to get back.
Some of you may have noticed this on the menu for the map where it talks about Eternium:
The Public Testing Universe that we have open has not been updated in like 3+ months so it looks pretty bad. We’ll most likely update it around the time this warfare update comes out we’re working on.
Anyways little update:
We’re working on our ship editor finally since i went ahead and meshed all of our ship turrets, so we’re beginning to code the ability to place them on ships.
Unfortunately there hasn’t been as much development progress since school has started in the last month, but I will try and continue to update you all on what’s been happening as soon as we have more news!
Edit: I’m hoping to give more progress updates here as much as I can but development has significantly slowed down because of school, but it is slowly beginning to pick back up as we are becoming more motivated as our community has been growing substantially.
Amazing to hear!!! Feel free to join our discord server for more leak drops. On our current timeline if everything goes to plan we hope to have a pre-alpha released early next year!
Unfortunately I quit this project after a bad falling out with the development team.
I have requested this post be removed by forum administrators.
All my models have been removed from the game per my request.
My commissions will remain open if anyone needs anything. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project and myself through out the past 10 months of its development.
