Happy Holidays from your friends at Rise!
Once again, we find ourselves smack in the middle of the holiday season. All of us here at Rise want to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Joyous Winter Solstice, Happy Festivus, and for those of you that prefer it - Happy Holidays.
As the year comes to an end it is always a good thing to look back over the year and see what improvements we made. This year has brought many changes to Rise including our debut on Steam, a new website, new terrain, new ships (Manx and Stratomaster), addition of the contracts system, new cockpits, seasonal effects... the list of improvements goes on and on.
Looking forward to next year we hope to bring another space station on-line, but this one will be built from the ground up. This planned method of building means that players will be hired to run materials up to the station. Over the months (or years) of construction the station will keep getting larger and more complex. There are also some planned experiments with adding VR to Rise. Adding more features to the player portal will allow players to manage colonies entirely from a web browser.
Ultimately, 2019 has been a hard year for many. We take time to wish for peace for mankind in the new year coming. Rise has always been a look at what we believe mankind can do in the future once we take to the stars. We should all take the time to do something in our lives to help us all reach that goal. That goal is why we continue to work with Unistellar Optics to inspire young minds to look to the heavens and dream of what could be.
Since the entire development team here at Rise is from a Judeo-Christian background we will once again wish you and your family Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays. On behalf of the entire development staff and contractors of Rise - we thank you.
