    Building The Future: The next stage of Plot Ownership


    We have now reached the next exciting stage of the Estate System. Plot holders on Planet Calypso will have the possibility to become Virtual Land Developers and build their own centres of production and supply.

    Building Your Property


    The UI will let you choose, preview and place your constructions on a grid. At this point you’ll be able to review all building costs. Once you’re totally happy you can proceed with the transaction, at which point you’ll be shown the construction time.

    Constructions are upgradeable, allowing you to modernize and improve your builds. For example, outlying walls may boast elegant arches, gates and pillars!

    In this release only one type of house is available, but this is merely the beginning. We are continuously working on more developments!

    Build Components


    Each building comes with a certain number of construction points that you can allocate to construct different kinds of components. There are ‘building’, ‘gardening’, ‘utility’ and ‘industry’ points. The number of construction points varies depending on the size and cost of the building.

    The UI will let you place constructions within the grid. During placement, you can rotate it like when placing any item. When satisfied, the building will begin its first step towards completion. Once you’re finished you’ll be able to admire and enjoy your new property!

    Vegetable Gardens: Grow Your Business!


    A later release will feature the possibility of making a Vegetable Garden after building your house. This will enable you to become a producer of valuable organic goods and a key player in the supply chain. You’ll literally be able to ‘grow’ an expanding business!

    Building and Rebuilding


    What if you don’t like the way you’ve built your house, or you want to build another kind of building instead? You can start again by demolishing the building and regaining roughly 50% of your initial investment, which can then be used on your next build!


    Village Development


    As a Property Owner you are also a citizen of a village and the development of ‘village life’ will be the focus of future releases. Being a responsible village citizen will have a positive effect on the village community as a whole. This ‘communal’ dimension will be a new aspect of gameplay within Planet Calypso.

    Further Information


    For further details on the Estate System please see the Planet Calypso website.


    It’s time to Build the Future!

    amagawd, who would have thought of that ?

    Entropia is indeed turning into some crappy browser/phone-"build and pay and wait and recieve"-Compet-shit-game.

    Another "this is merely the beginning. We are continuously working on more developments!"

    Another "A later release will feature the possibility of"

    But what tops these news is the last phrase :
    "As a Property Owner you are also a citizen of a village and the development of ‘village life’ will be the focus of future releases. Being a responsible village citizen will have a positive effect on the village community as a whole. This ‘communal’ dimension will be a new aspect of gameplay within Planet Calypso."

    lol @ industry and gardening. FUMU FUMA

    If MA will handle this like <insert previous ignored/bugged/removed content here> then my blog is ready.

    And I will then send a smile towards all big CLD Plot owners...

    Sounds like a "Aufbau-Strategie-Spiel" (don't know the english term).
    So it becomes a browsergame for people with fat wallets who are stupid enough to burn Dollars?

    Just wait until this "new system" ends up as THE update... with "hiring noobs to harvest your garden", "build epic structures", exchange "industrial points" to explore space and...just kidding

    I don't own a plot or CLD's but i think it's a nice idea allowing people to build their own place.

    Sorry i kinda like it, don't think i'll ever have one but i can see the appeal.

    Np, because thats exactly what MA is trying to achieve with this "new system".

    btw.:
    With the housing system in beta (2000) and houses at various places (2004-2016) followed by appartments (2006-2016)
    "build your own place" was always there.

    What can you actually "build" -- as I understand it all you can do is pay in several steps towards a pre-designed installation. I know it can't be like Second Life, but I'm still wondering what the point actually is.

    Well, MA described it pretty well.

    1.) Right now you can only build/place 1 building, that does nothing.

    2.) They are constantly working on future updates...

    case closed ;D

    Aye, depends how long things are left in limbo and what the plots actually do.

    General concept seems interesting, SEE what comes i guess.

    From my point of view the system should offer a pool of different models and many different details. I guess it won't. The goal is not to build a cosy home but kinda factory to produce something. Something like this:

    At least they won't offer swimming pools with party areas as I did at Monria.

    I think I based "Wistrel the Harvest Moon Character" on this base character... http://harvestmoon.wikia.com/wiki/Chelsea_(IoH)
