Hello everyone! Welcome to the thirty-ninth issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week! This week, Galbotrix has been streaming his work on the industrial station interior as a strong return to active development! He has put a lot of time and effort into his work this week, and it really shows. We look forward to joining him on more of his streams! Galbotrix's passion for engaging with the community is very invigorating and we can definitely look forward to more excellent work from him! Here are some pictures, for those of you who weren't able to catch the stream: Galbotrix even went so far as to start the layouts for every industrial module for the future, so he may go back through to add detail to the already finished designs. While incomplete, they are very impressive and we look forward to showing them off in the future! This week Idyllic has been working on fixing planetary generation systems to allow for the full-scale generation of planets in ROBLOX. Apparently, there was a memory leak preventing the upload of the planets, however Idyllic has reported that he has found a possible solution, and we look forward to being able to take the first step on his planets! It will be a giant leap for ROBLOXian kind! Each week we compile a Q&A section here whenever there are any new questions posted on the RoVerse Community group wall or in the Community Discord Server. Be sure to join if you have any questions about RoVerse: ROBLOX Group: https://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=2948290 Discord server: https://discord.gg/npxBGwJ Q1: Will there be joystick support? A1: We've talked before about supporting controllers, and the answer is it is still up in the air - while we'd definitely like to support the use of joysticks for flying ships, it may make other things, like inventory management either much harder for the user, or significantly more work for us, creating menus that work with limited inputs. Q2: Are there plans to get around the ROBLOX chat filter limitations without violating ROBLOX's terms? A2: We intend to do the best we can when it comes to working with Roblox's requirements, which includes using their chat filter on user communications. Hopefully by release, the censor has been refined enough to not restrict communications between users. Information submitted to the developers as a part of the group application, will be added to the game in a different way, and may be more flexible. Q3: Can I be a race of octapedal spider? A3: We fully intend to support whatever character lore and designs the community comes up with, but it will probably be limited to humanoid shaped, just for balancing and fairness issues - a giant spider might have a hard time handling weapons, and would be a much bigger target. If you were, say, a race of humanoid-spider hybrids, with the spare legs folded into your back or something, that might work out. Q4: Will ships be able to run at lightspeed? A4: Warp gates have already been discussed, used to jump large distances quickly, but lightspeed for arbitrary movement is another thing altogether. Star systems will be quite large, and being able to quickly move around would be great, but you have to keep in mind, moving a large object in space would take a lot of expensive, expensive fuel, so much that it would probably only be available on large ships. Q5: Will I be able to fill a capital ship full of explosives and ram it into a city? A5: I wouldn't say that you could fill a ship with explosives, but a large ship crashing accidentally would probably make a pretty big explosion all its own. You can support us by joining our Community Group or Discord server! So far, the community has been absolutely amazing, supportive, and very friendly. We are very appreciative of all the support you guys show us!
