Hi everyone,
It’s been another busy two weeks at StudioFOW so it’s time to update you all again on the progress on Subverse.
A lot of very talented artists are working together on this project and they are all contributing across multiple fields. It's great to see the passion for the game is strong, although the waifus probably have something to do with that...
Studio 69
The new member of the team, WTX, has joined forces with Portsman and Rocky to create our Studio 69 club level for the VIP Kickstarter backers. Right now the geometry is in place and the props are being finalized, you can see the basic layout below. After we finish some texture touch-ups we will set-dress the build and start an optimization pass inside UE4. Note that set dressing may include the Smenchkin jizzing all over that nice coffee table. The Captain and your waifu of choice will occupy the couch, while the jukebox takes up the left of the screen. The center is for the stripper tube, which is still conceptual at this stage.
Smenchkin
Yes, this disgusting little critter is ready as promised in the roadmap. You can view him in all his unholy glory below. The Smenchkin will be a pet exclusive to certain Kickstarter backers nutty enough to pledge for it - and now he will nut all over your Captains Quarters.
Next Waifu
Our neckbeard blacksmiths are hard at work forging the armor of this next waifu...it's not ready until it can withstand the force of a space dragon's dick
Texture Artistry
We've enlisted the help of additional texture wizards to fill out some of the gaps in the library. We'll be using these across the game in various ground combat and cinematic levels.
Keys
I'm pleased to report that 99.6% of all keys have been successfully delivered thanks to the hard work of Fow-Chan and our server guys. If for some reason you don't have a key, once again, check your spam folder, and then email [email protected] or go on our Discord and open a ticket.
Programming
The programming team has put in the hard yards over the past week working on the space combat module and progression systems, including laying the groundwork for future outfits via the Locker Room, and tweaking the enemy wave spawners for some of the more exotic boss fights. The guys have a lot to get through in 2019 so they will be needing some assistance. As such, the job posting for the Senior Unreal 4 Developer is now live. I have to say some of the applicants so far have been pretty poor - if you have the balls to ask for $200,000 a year then at least read the fucking job posting. Wasting our time not knowing what game you're even applying for is a pretty bad first impression to make.
Curious Colonist
If you happen to be in this tier (£250 and above) please note that there is a cutoff point on July 14th for submitting your planet requests. At this point if you have not responded to your survey (check Kickstarter) then you will forfeit this reward, as we have to start implementing these planets into the game.

Just kidding. We love you guys.
