ah! Those compet mobs. I have one. Never actually saw a non-pet version of one though. Didn't even know they existed, sorta assumed they came out of loot boxes or something. Wistrel PS do people think that latest gun pic is a 3D model or concept art? I'm not actually sure. I thought the original was concept art though.
the original one was concept art. this one is 3D model this is going by the notes they supply with each pic on instagram.
Compet mobs? Are they those 'pet' mobs that I've seen with AVs many times or something else? I think the gun pic is concept art, although could be based on a 3D model. I think there's quite a few apps, or techniques, that can turn pics of 3d models into concept art.
Hyrule? or whatever they are called? Out of interest... what are the planet partners doing? Obs Calypso is being able to get on, but the other guys?
MA mentioned on the other forum they are going to say something about progress soon. In other news people say the Arkadia team have reappeared (where did they go?) and have indicated they are working on things. Speculation about Cyrene and Rocktropia though. I kinda get the impression that Cyrene is a one man band these days but probably has resources it can call on when required. As for RT, I know ND been on the conference circuit pre covid hyping VR but dunno what the state of RT is and if he's in a position to fund an engine conversion for existing assets and missions. I'd quite like to see him try and offer it up to the players on a sort of "work earns something" way. That might be one way of fulfilling his gazillion jobs in VR thing from yesteryear. I suspect it would be logistically very hard to organise / realise though.
Some (2 hours worth) words from Arkadia. Not listened yet though so don't know what they say other than something about an NDA like thing at the start >
Just watched the first sixteen minutes or so... Seems Arkadia is far from dead and that the dev team have been working on content for both Arkadia and the Arkadia moon, though nothing much said about any progress with UE5.
Yeh I'm gradually working my way through it sporadically. Quite an interesting conversation. I'll comment more when I've got all the way through
I don't think we can expect Untropia till later this decade. > that, said, I thought this was interesting and would be a nice touch if MA have a spare hour over the next 5 years. >
Interesting that in the interview he says he doesn't want to share how many players are online at any one time.
Yeh that's been reality since decade plus. MA never want anyone to know how many active players there are. Imagining why is an exercise left to the reader ;)
Probably because knowing the active market base would allow players to gauge how much to invest in the game.
Ah, so that's where it is. I've not been to New TI yet funnily... What are those strange serpentine mobs to the left way beyond that huge skeleton?
