Hello Everyone!
Today we have some more great news to share with you! Object editors are awesome, and judging by all of your comments and feedback we can all agree that The Universim absolutely needs one. After a lot of discussion with our team members and developers, we decided to begin working on an in-game Object Editor. We promised to develop this tool if we reached the $400,000 stretch goal, but we believe that this system will add a lot more customization and fun to the game so we want to develop it either way. We are therefore replacing our $400,000 goal with a brand new era instead: the Dinosaur Era - arrrwww arrwww , right? - Right. If we hit the $400,000 mark, you can expect to deal with the T-Rex, Triceratops, and similar prehistoric creatures on Mother Planet before the Stone Age begins!
In-Game Object Editor
The remainder of this update will therefore cover more info about the new in-game Object Editor. It will not only assist you in customizing your worlds and making them as unique as possible, but also allow you to modify and create special vehicles. You will be able to customize the look of your species, change the color of their clothes, and even add new clothing elements that make them stronger. The editor will even allow you to upgrade and customize buildings! For example, you can upgrade your living facilities to have gardens on the roofs, which is really useful if your civilization is expanding quite quickly and your workers are cutting down too many oxygen-producing trees. These gardens will help you to raise oxygen levels and improve the overall air quality. You will also be able to add additional floors to make your buildings taller and create more housing for the population. Certain add-ons and customization features will be unlocked from the very beginning, but a good portion will require your time and resources to research them.
The editor will also play a crucial role in planet colonization. You will need to equip the exploration rover with the right technologies in order to collect important information about the planets you plan on colonizing. You probably shouldn’t attempt to send the rover on missions without adequate environmental protection for example, especially if you plan on investigating something like a molten planet. You may lose your rover to the harsh conditions, along with time and resources spent on its construction. On a side note, you will be able to drive rovers on alien planets! But we will talk more about the colonization process in our next update.
Another thing that you will be able to customize and improve are the Resource Transportation Shuttles. You can improve their travel speed and stability with newly-researched propulsion engines that come equipped with something like the signature Crytivo Industries high-speed quantum fuel-injection mechanism. You can even increase their cargo capacity and customize the overall look and feel of the shuttle, which includes the ability to add custom decals to the paint job!
We want to give you the tools to build unique worlds on each and every planet and offer as much customization as we can. Once you research airplanes, you will have the ability to design its overall look by messing around with stuff like the wing styles. You can select whichever style you want, attach your choice of the various engines, and slap it on the body. You can decide the quantity and type of engines you place as well. Would you like to place two or possibly even six of them on a single airplane, or would you rather research one super-badass marvel of aviation? It is your choice how crazy or innovative your civilization will end up looking. We cannot wait to see what you come up with!We hope you guys are as excited about this tool as we are! As always, we want to thank you all for your awesomeness! There are only 8 days left to reach our goal and make The Universim a reality, so we need your help more than ever. We are getting really close now! Those of you who are raising you pledges to help us out, thank you very much! We hope you enjoy all of the awesome rewards. Be sure to share The Universim with your friends, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, gaming websites, and even support us on Thunderclap.
Thank you all so much!
Your Crytivo Games Crew
I want to build a space battleship or a battleship or a tank or a jet fighter or a bomber or all of those.
Yeah, what he said... that looks really cool, keep it up!
I like the concept, its a shame its a stretch goal, i think you will extend the life of the game simply by allowing people to get creative so it should be a first choice now days.
Are you talking about the dinosaurs or the in-game editor? Because it says that they are going to add the in-game editor anyway and are replacing the $400,000 stretch goal with dinosaurs...
