Project Entropia Roadmap by First Planet Company CEO Marco Behrmann as of Date:08 September 2004

"Project Entropia Roadmap
What’s in the pipeline at the MindArk development studio? Here are some of the not so secret parts of the roadmap for the future. We hope this will inspire and keep your imagination on the edge. Remember this is not in any way to be considered a complete list of coming attractions. Also, various minor updates are also not noted.

Project Entropia is a free virtual universe that is downloadable from the Internet and is updated about ten times per year, in so called Version Updates, or VU’s. VU’s are by default targeted for release on Tuesdays. The upcoming VU, 6.1, is scheduled for a release late September.

VU 6.1 Content

  • The new continent is presented. About three times as large as current main Eudoria continent on the planet Calypso, the new continent of Amethera is presented for the first time. The continent is also the base for the land grab event, which will allow Project Entropia participants to actively fight for ownership of land. The new continent will have mineral rich areas, new flora and fauna, and is also utilizing functions of the newly implemented GameBryo graphics engine.
  • A Teacher system is coming, giving the ability for teacher avatars to supply skills to students. This will probably become a new profession within Project Entropia.
  • Tailors and colorers will be pleased with the addition of a bleaching function; meaning that most colored items may be removed bleached and recoloured over and over again until a satisfying result is obtained. Updates to the Color tool interface will also allow for some speedier activity when coloring items.
  • Shop owners will appreciate the ability to dress their shopkeepers with clothes, armor or items. Special mannequins are also available for dressing and putting into your estates so you can display your valuable creations or findings.

  • Add new functions to auction – adding functions like purchase orders of bulk items.
  • Add new functions to societies – society functions will be deepened and much more control will be issued.
