Hello everyone! Welcome to the fifty-first issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week! We've got some nice progress this week in both the building and scripting departments - after a short break, NoCollider got right back to work improving the Capital ship Flight systems, adding turret replication and muzzle flashes, as well as creating the foundation of the shield system. Over in the building department, IdyllicDestroyer has been working on the final few modules for the last few styles of Outposts, getting those ready to be sent over to the interiors designers. Galbotrix has been streaming his work on the Industrial interiors, with progress on the Industrial Communications/Hub Module. WhoToTrus has been making some finishing touches to the Corporate Hub, with a space-juice bar and station control room. We'll be filling in a few more details before production, but the main work has been completed! We've got a new vehicle to show off, perfect for crossing those large empty desert worlds or storming an outpost. Good work to JangoFettAlex and Vedrakkerous! (Note: These images are all produced in-game, no outside rendering or editing) 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: Is it possible for npcs to exist? A1: Now there are two types of NPC's you could be talking about - AI controlled fighters, or the talkative bartender you run into on a space station. The latter will definitely be a part of RoVerse, from collecting quests, to generally populating stations, you can expect to see a variety of NPC characters hanging around. AI powered weapons systems, on the other hand, probably won't be in the initial release due to their high overhead to run, but we'll keep trying, and who knows, it might end up as an expansion. Q2: Will there be a way of getting news about the occurrences across the different star systems? (Such as updates on wars going on or price fluctuations and other things like that) A2: We are looking to support an active journalism occupation in RoVerse, where players can write down their views of events happening in RoVerse, to give a first-person account to those who cant be there, or those who come later. The other, quicker option will be staying in communication with factions and community discord channels, asking around about prices, or keeping tabs on the war efforts. Q3: Also will non-functioning buildings be something that can be user-created, (like a monument or just some skyscraper that serves no wartime purpose) A3: Not every building constructed on planets will have a wartime purpose, some are purely for generating resources, and some help grow or protect the populations in cities. We are looking into ways to support faction-custom structures that are purely decorative, or are present in clan lore, so stay tuned. Q4: Will you be able to colonize planets? If so, will you be able to set up some kind of self-sustainable town/city/colony? Also, will you be able to mine planets dry of ALL their resources? A4: Colonizing planets is a fairly important goal of any faction - it is declaring to the universe that this planet is yours, and you intend to keep it! Planetary resources will function similarly to asteroids, with a set amount of resources, and a long regeneration period. So, in theory, you could strip a planet bare, but they are quite large. 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! If you want to catch any of our developers streaming, you can always follow our official Twitch channel here! Remember, we are always looking for new, talented builders, scripters and artists! If you’d like to help us you can always get in touch with us through RoVerse_Official on the ROBLOX website! Don’t worry, we don’t bite! Comments are closed.
