Players will be able to collect clothing items. Meaning each player could have unique clothes. There will be default clothes available to all, as well as clothes for Supernova Members. There will be rare clothes and other clothing items for sale in shops.

Each player will be able to set a 4 digit pin to protect their inventory.

Colours will be highly customizable, we want players to be able to customize everything.

Room Creation & Buying Furniture

• There will be default room layouts to choose from, as well as room layouts for Supernova Members.
• There will be furniture for normal players and Supernova Members.
• Furniture colours, wall and floor colours, lighting, and more will be customizable.

Room Navigation

• Will be semi-realistic.
• Must go to a central location to look for rooms, and choose a transportation method.
• For easy access players can still ‘link’ or favourite rooms and go there instantly.
• Navigation for the Space Port and for Planet environments is separate. For example you cant be on a planet and go to a room on the space port.

Chat

• Chat will be customizable. Players can personalize their own chat.
• Group chat will be available.

New Features

• Group Chat (as mentioned above)
• Player Levels & Ranks
• Quests, Challenges
• Mini-Games. We have a maze one in mind right now, with a platform maze mini-game later.
• & Probably the one I’m most excited for. Each planet will have a selection of player-owned living spaces. These are private rooms players can buy, but there are a limited number available. Players will be able to sell these living spaces as well. This will create a sort of virtual real estate market within the game.

& A bit more on that and the Jungle Planet. We have begun development on the planet environment and have some really great jungle assets to work with. The planet will however be somewhat limited to a small area until we can continue with development. We will have a jungle area, and a section of an overgrown city. Keep in mind, these will still be large areas since we’re working with 3D here. One building will contain the living spaces players can buy and sell. The building itself will be a public space, meaning you can walk through the main lobby, the hallways, go in players rooms, giving a fairly realistic experience. There will be bigger more luxurious rooms on the upper floors. We have not yet decided on how many of these rooms to sell, but we were thinking around 50. On each planet we’ll offer these ‘enhanced’ limited availability living spaces. We’ll also have at least one for free which everyone can create, to keep it fair and let everyone live on a planet if they want. To name a few other features, which are more just benefits of Unity. We’ll have Anti-Aliasing and possibly offer the game in various qualities. The game will be available in various resolutions and full screen. We’ll have video textures, realistic water, shadows, lighting, glowing effects, and other great things. As always, let us know what you think.]]> http://portgalaxy.com/archives/40/feed 0 http://portgalaxy.com/archives/1 http://portgalaxy.com/archives/1#comments Wed, 21 Mar 2012 20:35:49 +0000 Riley http://portgalaxy.com/?p=1 http://portgalaxy.com/archives/1/feed 0
