We are hoping that you had relaxing holidays and an amazing start into the new year and that you are ready for the great news we’d like to share with you!
So without further ado, here it is:
At the moment we are working on a large (free ;) ) update for Avorion that will introduce many new features and massively rework some aspects of the game in Q2 2021. We don’t want to spill too much info at this point, but we would like to share some details to get you hyped up a bit!
You all know about independent targeting and we hope you will be excited to hear that we are reworking it. In the future, you will be able to decide for yourself which of your weapons will be able to fire independently, and the damage of these weapons will no longer be reduced by 50%.
There will also be changes concerning the game progression and the collection of materials. We know this sounds exciting, but you'll have to be patient for a little longer before you can discover your journey to the center all over again.
Now that we have dropped some spoilers, we would like to tell you that we have thought long and hard about what we want Avorion to be like in the future and which direction we want to go to improve it!
We have been taking a closer look at the gameplay and we have realized that you guys are forced to spend a lot of time on (annoying) micro-management. This is one of the things that we want to change in the future.
As you know, there are countless adventures and experiences to be enjoyed in Avorion. But we have noticed that we introduced a few features in the past that only scratched the surface and that have caused the game to feel a little rough in some respects. But now it’s finally time to smooth those edges! This means that we might have to tackle some (annoying) gameplay mechanics and reduce their scope. We are even planning on replacing some (micro-management intensive) mechanics with more intuitive systems. Our goal is to make sure that in the future, we won’t be spreading our efforts too thin and that we will be able to make our vision of the game bloom!
We are looking forward to the update and we can’t wait to receive your feedback! In the meantime, take a look at one of our verified servers, marked with a blue checkmark in the server list. Who knows, maybe you’ll find new allies there!
