[p]In preparation to the Evolution Survival play test I have been working on a full mod kit for the game

This mod kit will not be available until the full release of the game, however, I have used it to make some test mods that will be tested during the play test

If this interests you I may release the mod kit early to give modders a chance to make mods for day one release.

Let me know!

This is going to be awesome,[/p][p]-Drierwhisper729

[p]That's Right!

If you go to the store page RIGHT NOW you can sign up for future access to the game's playtest
This will be leagues better than the demo and offer a more complete game for a limited time.

[p]We've got some exciting new stuff coming like finally finishing the end game and bio domes as well as armors being added.

Unfortunately just because of how things played out I won't be able to finish the game in July of 2025, so it has been delayed to July of 2026 which gives me a great amount of time to make this game the best it can possibly be.

Continuing with new things we just implemented a new weather and cloud system. [/p][p][/p][p]As well as a new look for our grass[/p][p][/p][p]And we have some planned UI revisions coming too.

The End game:

After your star has died, resources will become scarce, which is the main idea. Players will constantly struggle to keep the lights and heat on. However, we don't want the game to just end as you run out of resources, this means we've had to come up with a new solution. The inter-galactic market, every rotation it sells a certain amount of items for a certain price, depending on the percentage bought the price may increase or decrease. What is the currency? Wood gathered from trees in your bio dome. The main catch is this market is not unique to just your player or group, all players on your server share the same market, so one person buying stone will affect the stone price and supply of ALL other players. This will make for a very interesting dynamic as richer groups buy up all the supplies and drive up the price for the poorer groups. Potentially causing server wide war.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next update were we talk about beings from other worlds.[/p]
