Empyrion: Galactic Survival Dev Tracker

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

Without further ado, you can save the following dates about the version 1.5 experimental and public release.

Experimental version 1.5 will launch on Wednesday, 19th of May.

Client and server files will be available from that date. Feedback threads and more info will be added to the experimental sub-forum by then: https://empyriononline.com/forums/#experimental-branch.33

Please note: For being able to test all the features of version 1.5, starting a new game is mandatory, as updated missions, POI and related cannot be updated on already existing saved games. There is also the chance that it might become necessary to start new, in case we need to update the experimental version with critical fixes on these content items.

Reminder: Creating POI and missions with the ... Read more

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

When we made our first announcement we said that version 1.5 will focus on code work.

One of these code-heavy topics we are working on is artificial intelligence. Today we want to give you a little insight on what is going on with that.

The main goals of the introduction of the new ground AI creatures in version 1.5 is as follows:

● Introduction of a new set of AI vs AI interactions. This starts with predator AI hunting prey AI to feed. Or scavengers AI looking for corps to eat. In this way the player will have the new ability to not be at center of the action but also to observe action around him. This will let some new survival strategy arise.

● Some new states are added to the creature like the hunger, the thirst or the ability to hide. This will bring some slightly more sophisticated behavior that will create a more immersive environment.

● Overall some more complex behavior of creatures have been de... Read more

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Although the version 1.5 is heavily code-focused, we not only have new content for story runners and explorers (as detailed in the past dev blogs). We also have a few gifts for our builders.

To conclude the April fools joke from last year, we added the ‘modern’ variant for the restrooms to complete this model set, with the modern variant showers already available. We hope you know how to use the three sea shells.



Speaking of sets: when we added the Heavy Window, we also had an additional lineup idea with a few more ‘emperor style’ variants in mind. We are looking forward to what you will be doing with the Heavy Windows (patterned).

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

In the last blog[empyriononline.com] we teased you a little with the story arc that would be concluded later this year. This is still a bigger project, but we can update you on some other stuff in that regard.

Those of you that are with the game for a while might have played through most of the story missions already several times. Some of the major updates changed things here and there, due to the technical possibilities changed as well. We are trying to take advantage of every new addition that helps storytelling. Be it planet design, mission feature or dialogues.



That being said, with 1.5 ... Read more

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Last week we made our first announcement on version 1.5 (read here[empyriononline.com]). The main content of this update is quite code-heavy, which means a lot of things are going on behind the curtain without offering a good way to do a nice visual representation.

But while our programmers do their work to prepare the game for future feature changes and additions, quite a few things happen on the art and content side of things as well.

For example we will be adding a new NPC faction with tons of POIs and an own galactic territory, created by spanj and a lot of creators, contributing POIs and vessels: the Brotherhood of Farr!
