Hey there fans! We know we’ve been missing a lot of transparency with our community, so we wanted to make a statement about the state of our game and the plans we have around it. This update has taken us a lot of time due to real life problems and issues with finding developers for vexing tasks such as animating and modeling (both have been resolved). One of our programmers parted ways which led to us having to adapt and find new people to join our studio. We were not happy with the updates we had pushed, which is why in December of last year, we decided to remake the whole game. Quests, aliens, abilities, gameplay, visual effects, map, locations, and backend systems will all be remade in the upcoming update. Furthermore, we have fully converted to r15 and remade the transformation system, a complaint many of you all had. We feel we have improved dramatically in terms of scope and quality since then and we look forward to sharing with you all more features and updates as we progress through this remake.
To put it in our perspective, the game currently needs to be rewritten completely. In addition, changing the core mechanics slowly will only add to the problems surrounding the game, which is why we opted to remake the whole game in it’s entirety. Completely transitioning to a rewritten framework and code will help us push a lot of the features you all have been missing in addition to making updates easier in the future.
We hope this answers some questions as to why some possible bugs have lingered around for an extended amount of time. If the game is going to be completely rewritten, there really is not a reason to change the old code unless something is game breaking or adds a huge amount of frustration to the player.
We hope to be more transparent about dates in the near future. We are still in the process of hiring more developers to help push out updates much more consistently once this update drops, but please remain patient, we promise this one is going to be a good one. It will be the biggest update we’ve ever done. When we get closer to a date we know we can hit, we will announce it.
Thanks for understanding,
The Cosmic Storm Team
