Hi there!
It’s hard to believe that Atom Universe will celebrate its first year this month - on the 23rd September, to be precise! It’s been such an exciting journey and we are really grateful for your support. You guys are awesome!
In this week’s blog we will share with you some of our memories of this adventure and give you some hints on the awesome things we have been planning to celebrate the big day.
We also have a surprise for every AU player, exciting news about one of our featured artists, plus some new items in the game from midnight tonight! You can read more about these below.
So Many Memories...
We were so thrilled when we achieved our Kickstarter target back in April 2015. We always knew that our fans were really behind us and the backers were truly amazing. It was time to start turning Atom Universe into reality!
Many of you will remember our concept art from those days, but in case you missed it...
As well as building the environment, the next big challenge was bringing the Avatars to life. Not an easy task for us poor humans without any godlike powers! Pixel by pixel, from a generic head and body to Adam and Eve.
So many crazy outfits, so many competitions, so many design ideas from our community, so many Block Parties! Such a brilliant year.
It’s Party Time!
It’s been such an amazing adventure so far, and yet it’s just the beginning of a long and awesome journey together. You constantly inspire us with your enthusiasm, suggestions and ideas and we’re looking forward to expanding the universe.
It’s time for celebrations! One day wouldn’t be enough, get ready a few weeks of fun (and new content!). And save the date for the 23rd September (and the whole weekend)!
So to get you in the party mood, here's a lovely surprise for everyone...

Another First For Atom Universe - Altered Sky Party!
This weekend check out the Arcade Plaza for our very first 'rock block'! It's a space dedicated to the music of one of our favourite artists - Altered Sky. We are so excited about this, and so are and Altered Sky! Check out the Altered Sky facebook page for more details. All are welcome, and don't forget to wear your Altered Sky t-shirt to show your support. We want to say a massive thanks to the band for sharing their music with us all!
Shopping Spree!
We have been looking forward to getting these next few items in the game for a while! First of all, check out these awesome skull t-shirts for Adam and Eve! We love their style, a little grungy, a little mysterious and totally ROCK! We have a new pair of hotpants that come with knee high boots for Eve and a pair of shorts with a palm tree design for Adam. All are colour customisable and a brilliant addition to your AU wardrobe!
Plus we have some non-customisable versions of two of our most popular shirts. The basketball top for Adam and the cheerleader crop top for Eve. If you haven't already bought one of these, maybe we can tempt you with these black versions. Because black goes with everything ;)
Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane, and hope you enjoy the new items :)
See you on the dance floor!
