ENTROPIA UNIVERSE VERSION UPDATE 9.3.4

2008-08-26

VERSION UPDATE FEATURES

CryENGINE®2 Update

Adaptation of the CryENGINE®2 for the Entropia Universe platform is proceeding well. The process of making CryENGINE®2 suitable for independent Entropia planet development is in line with the planned time scale.

Since the previous update on May 20th this year, all interaction panels have been successfully converted, employing improved design, effects and implementation techniques available through the CryENGINE®2. Following the textures and animations update in VU9.3, existing items are now being converted and introduced into the new Entropia environment.

The next period will see further infrastructure development and the completion of the audio integration process.

Dr. Almon Duchevs Logs

Leaked information suggests a new batch of logs from Dr. Almon Duchev will reveal how Duchev, while held prisoner in the strange realm beyond the orb, was forced to conduct scientific research for his captors, during which he discovered new materials which could be molded to amazing effect.

Essential in his subsequent escape from the demented realm, it seems Duchev created a wide range of fantastic new items like a camouflage body suit, great wings, rams horns and other exotic ceremonial paraphernalia which he used to disguise himself and flee from his savage captors. How much of it that made it back through the orb, and who may be in deadly pursuit is up to Calypso’s colonists to find out.
