We're Changing Direction
Hello friends, family and early adopters! Thanks for reading what will be the first of many weekly updates from the team at 6Stack.
To kick this week off, we want to first thank those of you who have helped us test our Discord server settings. The feedback and testing have been a tremendous help.
Secondly, we want to give you a quick update at what we've been working on and what you can expect in the weeks to come.
For those of you who’ve followed us when we announced our project last fall, you may have noticed that we went dark in the social media scene only a few months later.
That was because we decided to change direction on our project and felt it was necessary to keep a lid on our new idea.
Originally, we started Zy Universe as an RPG with an emphasis on rich lore and story-based gameplay. However, we felt it made more sense to put forward the PvP aspects of the project instead.
This change in the direction still fits the story and lore, and someday down the line, we still plan on making the RPG we envisioned. But, in order to get our footing, we decided that releasing Zy Universe as a side-scrolling PvP brawler, then building the RPG from there made more sense.
With that, we’re coming back to the surface with a renewed outlook. If you haven't already seen it, we have a new website and we'll be getting back to regular updates to our followers within a few weeks.
MORE ABOUT THE GAME
We're about to release some "pre-alpha" footage of internal playtesting. It's a very exciting time for us as we're starting to see some of the core features of Zy Universe come to life.
Although we are covering a lot of ground, what you’ll likely see to start is what you'd expect in a side-scrolling game: simple physics and basic combat. To us, those are huge achievements in the game that we’re proud of. It marks the beginning of so much more to come.
Fun fact! When we decided to change our focus from the RPG over to the PvP branch of Zy Universe, we drew the focus from only a select few individuals on the team and dubbed the project "Cookie" as to keep it top secret... that, and who doesn't love cookies!?
In the coming weeks, you’ll see what we’ve been working on and we'll be looking to bounce ideas and concepts off of you. Please don't be shy to chime in and give us feedback. We appreciate every comment we receive right now.
Our plan is in the near future to release a "Friends & Family" build of the game that will be distributed out to all of our early followers. Until then, stay tuned and join our Discord community for the latest updates and exclusive looks at the game.
