Hey guys,

The rewards have been updated with the latest Alt Universe image set.

In terms of the main project, we are slowly coming back to it now and hopefully we can have something to show by the mid of the year (June-ish time). My focus on has been going back over the game for making improvements as well as getting the battle mechanics implemented too. Since artwork has really slowed I've been looking at going back to some of the original scenes and getting them animated to try and build up the foundation of the game again. 

I'm hoping we will be able to show more in the not too distant future, but I'll keep you updated of any changes!

Hey guys,

So, there's a bit of a big update about the project and it's unfortunately not good news. As you are aware the project has not had the smoothest of sailings this year. In fact this year has been specifically rough for the project and me too. And it seems the rain continues to pour... 

I'll cut straight to the chase and say I'm very disappointed to announce, through measures beyond my control, there has been significant delays in the art department for the past short while. I won't go into details as that would be disrespectful and unprofessional to those involved, but it unfortunately has affected the ability to generate a new build in a timely manner.

With that said, the project is going to go on a hiatus for a while as we try to pick things up again and go from there. I know this is disappointing news, especially given everything else that has happened this year, but it is unfortunately beyond my control to prevent. 

To clarify a couple of things though:

Hopefully this will be the last hurdle in the project until it comes time to release it completed. I appreciate you all for sticking with the project through thick and thin, it really means a lot and I hope by the end of this journey we can all celebrate with what has been created! 

If you have any questions, please ask here or in the discord as normal.

Hey guys,

As I mentioned before I wanted to update the  roadmap to better reflect our current funding and compromises we've had to make in order to deliver the project in a more timely manner.

What has changed?

In terms of since I last produced a roadmap at the start of the year, I've gone through everything I had planned and started to make the necessary cuts and compromises in the game. The biggest change is that the floating crew member idea has been cut, instead now those proposed NPCs (Naetu, Nix & Red Queen) will have their own side quests, with shorter scope for their progressions.

Naetu's progression will tie into the main storyline, while Nix and the Red Queen will be optional storylines the player, along with the likes of Joira, the Phoenix Queen Leader and many more we have already introduced. 

The other major change is the spacing between builds will turn to 3 months in the new year instead of 2. This to compromise on the fact that we have less artwork production each month, but so we don't impact the stories / progression being told (especially important for the main story line) 

I haven't put a release month for the final build, instead it will be released only when it is satisfactory rounded off every element of the game. Which is the reason the crew's final progressions are very much tied to the end and this build. 

Hopefully this helps explain what our intentions are for the future and when we plan to release stuff. Again as with the previous roadmap, everything on it is subject to change, so please keep that in mind! (Hopefully there won't be anymore disastrous things occur that will impact the project!)
