RoVerse Development Newsletter #210

7/25/2020

 
Hello everyone! Welcome to the 210th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week.

Idyllic has returned from his family road trip and gotten right back to work on Capital ships and menus, this week hunting down several bugs with the menu and HUD systems, and re-adding conventional turrets to the ship code.

A big milestone achieved in the short development time this week was the completion of code that installs a default loadout onto your default capital ship, so that if a new player is selected as the Juggernaut, they don't end up in the unfortunate situation of not having any turrets to shoot back with.

A bit of a bug cropped up with reload visualizations so that they stopped updating. After delving through the code, the problem has been found and rectified, so now you can shoot your Capital Conventional turrets to your heart's content.

It was a short week, but next week will be right back to the development grind.

The community dogfight continued again this week, with members of the community coming together to blast each other out of the sky. Here are a selection of screenshots from the event - send in your own if you have them. Join us next week at 8pm EST and earn double credits for the duration.

This week in the dogfight there were 339 kills, 114 with beam, 103 with torpedo, 74 with laser, 26 with plasma, 13 with railgun, and 9 with auto. The most dangerous ship was the Excalibur, with  all 186 kills. The most dangerous map was Pillarum with 321 deaths, followed by The Great Hollow with 24.

And now, the moment you've been waiting for...
The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 99 kills and 18 deaths and a 5.5 KDR; RookVanguard with 80 kills, 23 deaths and a 3.47 KDR; and IdyllicDestroyer with 68 kills, 31 deaths, and a 2.19 KDR. They have unlocked the exclusive ship Stratus Sprite in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots!

Q1: Rocket propelled projectiles whose shots fly faster over time?

A1: Those sound an awful lot like torpedoes. 

Q2: How will miners work? Laser or drills?

A2: Our early plans are for mining lasers in turret form attached to mining ships, but there is potential for other unique methods in the future. Imagine a large mining ship gobbling down whole asteroids.
