This week’s update is going to be rather short, I only worked half the week due to the Thanksgiving holiday!
I started last week doing a little bit of cleaning up. When we do holiday events, we often add new galaxies and they tend to clutter up the map. After this Halloween’s Zombie Rat Invasion I am sure everyone noticed the map was a complete mess… so I have created a new holiday map layer where all holiday galaxies will end up. This will include the future Lapland, Easter Warren and Egg Hunting galaxies as well as all levels of Plaguespace. I’ve also moved all the current Plaguespace galaxies from their current layers (Earthforce, Subspace, Celestial Garden, Wild Space) into this new layer. Your maps should look much nicer!
After tidying up the map clutter, I started on something I think is much more exciting. For those who aren’t aware, one of our volunteer content developers has been working on a very exciting and interesting new zone targeted at players ranging from levels 40 to 120. Unfortunately, they were unable to get this finished before real life intervened and they had to take a leave of absence. I had collaborated a little bit with them on the zone while they had been actively working on it so last week I took up the mantle of finishing it.
This new zone is group of galaxies called the Color Empires. These areas are inhabited by a race of sentient crystal beings who send the player on a very exciting series of missions ranging from mining, assassination and even to ship capture. Most of the work has already been finished; missions written, galaxies created, items made, etc. I am just taking the time to make sure those missions are fully implemented and making sure everything looks great. This will officially launch with the next universe reset and should provide a very nice amount of exciting level-up content for newer players.
That’s all I have for this week’s update, come back next week for a full-sized update. As always, feel free to comment on the forums with suggestions and other feedback!
