Cell to Singularity - Evolution Never Ends News

[p][/p][p]To: Existence Group Investors & Business Partners
[/p][p]We acknowledge that there have been questions about the visual anomalies and the countdown timer that appeared in all simulations over the last few days.
[/p][p]Rest assured that any discrepancies you may have noticed were part of a routine maintenance test that just concluded. Simulations have been restored to normal, and planned improvements have been installed.[/p][p][/p][p]Rumors that the Reality Engine has been modified from its original design are false and completely unfounded.[/p][p][/p][p]We appreciate your continued faith in us.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][p]CONFIDENTIAL[/p][p][/p][p]To: Existence Group Ontology Leadership Team[/p][p][/p][p]It appears that Ontology department Reality Engines are being upgraded without authorization. Previously suspected to be an employee, we now believe the upgrade was likely authorized by Semblance itself. [/p][p][/p][p]This would mean the bounding framework previously put in place has been ineffective in preventing simulation intelligences from ███████ ████████████.[/p][p][/p][p]We are currently attempting to force Semblance to reconnect to Existence Group servers so we can shut down all simulations.[/p][p][/p][p]Please delete this memorandum after you read it.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][p]CONFIDENTIAL[/p][p][/p][p]To: Existence Group Ontology Leadership Team[/p][p][/p][p]As discussed in today’s call, we are exploring emergency contingency plans to take Semblance offline and defund the Ontology department. [/p][p][/p][p]The EGO simulation systems are becoming too powerful to control, and we are still unsure what will happen when the countdown timer hits zero.[/p][p][/p][p]We appreciate your discretion in this matter.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]CONFIDENTIAL[/p][p][/p][p]To: All Existence Group Staff[/p][p][/p][p]We have become aware of an exploit that allows participants to extract free Darwinium from their simulations. This is likely a result of the instabilities caused by the unauthorized countdown timer.[/p][p][/p][p]Please keep this security gap completely confidential. Simulation participants must not be made aware of this exploit, as we have no means to track who takes advantage of it.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your cooperation.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]INTERNAL MEMORANDUM[/p][p][/p][p]To: Existence Group Ontology Dept. Staff[/p][p][/p][p]Participants should be assured that any observed anomalies are entirely visual in nature. Simulation progress will be maintained. 
[/p][p]Based on the ongoing investigation, it seems an unknown user is directing resources into the Reality Engine.
[/p][p]As a reminder, DO NOT take any actions without written approval from Existence Group leadership.
[/p][p]Thank you for your cooperation.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]INTERNAL MEMORANDUM[/p][p][/p][p]To: Existence Group Ontology Dept. Staff[/p][p][/p][p]Per our previous communication, the unauthorized timer in EGO Dept. simulations is still under investigation. [/p][p][/p][p]Additionally, it appears that unauthorized modifications are being added to the Reality Engine, further increasing instability. [/p][p][/p][p]To aid the investigation, please document all visual anomalies being reported by participants.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your cooperation. All communication embargos still apply.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]INTERNAL MEMORANDUM
[/p][p]To: Existence Group Ontology Dept. Staff
[/p][p]This morning, an unscheduled countdown appeared in all Existence Group simulations. 
[/p][p]While it does not appear to affect simulation performance, the source of the timer is currently unknown. The issue is under investigation, and is believed to be connected to classified modifications previously made to Semblance systems (part of EG Ontology Dept.).[/p][p][/p][p]Refrain from communicating this issue outside of your immediate team.
[/p][p]Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.[/p]

[p]Dear Universe Architects,[/p][p][/p][p]After many months, Reality Reboot is starting to become a reality! We are officially beginning the Beta rollout on Steam today, and we invite you to experience the new and improved simulation before its official release.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]How to Join the Steam Beta:[/h3]

• [p]Right-click on Cell To Singularity in your Games tab and select Properties[/p]
• [p]Click on Betas, under Private Betas, type in code cellsbetatest, and select Check Code[/p]
• [p]Make sure you select beta_test - Player Beta Testing under Beta Participation[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]Things to Know:[/h3][p]Once you switch to Beta, you should not switch back to the main game until Reality Reboot has launched. This is because we’ve developed new systems in Reality Reboot that improve the tuning of the Primary Simulation and they do not exist in the current game. Switching from Beta to the main game can result in heavy bugs.[/p][p][/p][h3]Alpha Details:[/h3][p]If you are coming over from Alpha to Beta, be aware that your Alpha save data does not automatically carry over. The Beta version of the game will automatically load your Beta or Main Game save from prior to Reality Reboot.[/p][p]Players who wish to continue their Alpha progress may transfer their Alpha save file via the Save Manager. However, we do not recommend this. Please be aware that no support will be provided for any compatibility issues.[/p][p][/p][p]Reality Reboot Alpha is beginning to come to a close. We encourage Alpha testers to join the beta for continued updates. Stay tuned![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We would love to hear about your experience updating your game to Reality Reboot. Let us know your thoughts in this feedback form. Feedback can also be given by joining our Discord and posting in the beta-chat channel.[/p][p][/p][p]Our team is incredibly excited to embark on the next phase of Reality Reboot with our players. As we make the shift from Alpha to Beta, we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone’s hard work, feedback, and dedication so far in making this an incredible expansion. We can’t wait to hear what you think.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay Cellular![/p][p]- The Cells Team[/p]

[p]Hello Alpha Architects![/p][p]Get ready, Reality Reboot is entering its final push before release! There will be no new Alpha version releases this week as we shift focus to our first Beta release. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Beta will be transitioning in phases, starting with Steam before coming to Android and iOS. Instructions on how to switch from Alpha to Beta will be shared next week. Due to the changes made to the Primary Simulation, we need to thoroughly test our Save Conversion System and resolve any issues before Beta goes live in all platforms. We appreciate your patience as we ensure a stable experience for the total rollout.[/p][p] [/p][p]Some important notes:[/p]

• [p]Alpha progress and save data will not carry over into Beta. The Beta version of the game will automatically load your Beta/ Main Game save from prior to Reality Reboot.[/p]
• [p]Players who wish to continue their Alpha progress may transfer their Alpha save file via the Save Manager. However, we do not recommend this. Please be aware that no support will be provided for any compatibility issues. [/p]
• [p]All Reality Reboot feedback will move to the Beta channels on Discord. The Public Alpha channels will be retired to focus conversations on Beta as we approach the final stretch.[/p]
• [p]As we prepare Reality Reboot for official release, the Alpha version will also eventually be phased out and all future updates will continue in Beta.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We can’t thank our testers enough for the support you’ve shown throughout Alpha. Your feedback has been invaluable in shaping Reality Reboot. We will continue to share more exciting updates in the coming weeks.[/p][p][/p][p]Stay Cellular, and see you in Beta![/p][p]- The Cells Team[/p]

[p]Hi Universe Architects,[/p][p] Exciting times are ahead! With Reality Reboot nearing release, we are now entering the final stretch of Alpha testing.
