Patch v0.3.2.4112
With yesterday patch we saw, v0.3.2.4.112 get added to the King Branch for Steam players in the in morning. However, we also had another surprise patch for the PlayStation 4 and Steam players later in the afternoon.
Players were finally able to explore our first private spaceand better yet, you could invite up to 15 friends to join you.

Now that said, we’re still in Early Access and we’re stilltesting the server scalability. For some players loading times between publicand privates may vary in length, some taking longer than others.
Avatar Customisation
If there is one thing we know, it’s that you want Avatarcustomisation. So far we’ve seen a wealth of accessories get implemented intoAtom Universe, but you want more. Physical changes for your avatar, differentclothing items and hairstyles, the list goes on.
While this is possible for us to continually add moreaccessories to the avatars head, hands and back via sockets (this allows theart team to add items without altering the Atom Universe’s code). Allowing you to alter your avatar physicalappearance (size, build and features), or your avatars clothing (tops, pants,shoes etc) it would require a massive change within Atom Universe’s code.
We’re very excited to start work on the avatar customisation.However, we’re not at that point in the development cycle just yet. The mainfocus right now is to get the servers working correctly allowing everyone toenjoy Atom Universe without any connection troubles and of course, we’reworking on the PlayStation 4 build so everyone can join in on the fun.
