September dev log

Hello everyone!

Time really flies! It has already been almost a month since the last post, which is honestly crazy. I’ve been deep in my work routine and the days just keep passing by without me even noticing, which means I sometimes leave you without news here!

Sorry about that. I simply don’t always realize how much time has passed. But don’t worry, I’m still working every day on version 2.0. So here is a small monthly dev log to keep you updated on what was done in September!

770 of you answered the big survey this summer about what you enjoyed in version 1.X of the game, what you generally like, and what you expect from version 2.0. Thank you so much for that, and also for all your enthusiastic and supportive messages 🧡

I was able to process and compare all the different data in order to build statistics and better understand this community. Some of my expectations before the survey were correct, but other results genuinely surprised me. I’m preparing a few future posts to share some of the most interesting results with you, so you can also see where the Gameverse Adventures community stands. I’ll also add my own comments and thoughts for each point, so you can have my perspective as well.

Now, about the work on version 2.0.

I completely reworked the structure of the story to make something much more organized. There is now a real plot, and the characters will have clearly defined roles. I’m really happy to have found a scenario I like, one that will be able to evolve over future updates.

You will only get a small part of it in this demo, and the real story will begin once the Academy is added to the game. Oh, and by the way, I also reworked the Academy logo. It looks much better than the old one!

I’m currently working on a nice little intro cinematic for the game. It will last about one minute. I’m having a lot of fun making a real cinematic that feels a bit like the beginning of a science-fiction movie. I still need to finish the last scene and add the soundtrack, and then it will be ready :)

As you can see in the image, I also created 4 vehicles for this new universe. They will be reused later in the game:

• Modular Rapid Transport: A very fast autonomous transport ship used by the Academy to quickly deploy personnel and equipment. Its Version 3 has three cargo bays on each side of the vehicle to carry more equipment. Version 1 is generally used as an Academy taxi, allowing members to move quickly around the city or during small missions.

• Kestrel: Since the transport ship has no weapons, a few of these combat drones serve as its security escort.

• Courier Drone: A small, fast drone widely used to deliver all kinds of mail and small packages, whether important or not.

For October, I plan to finish the introduction cinematic.

The biggest task will be creating the different character models you’ll be able to customize. There will be humans and furries, with many species represented, in both male and female versions. So, as planned, you’ll be able to customize your character and actually see them in the game!

After that, I’ll still need to finish the work on the characters you’ll meet in the demo version. The model is almost finished, I just want to add a little bonus for you, then create a nice appearance for them.

I’ll keep you updated very soon with another post this month about the processed survey results.

Thank you so much for your support! 🧡
