🌌 Eden Universe 🌌 - MAJOR CHANGES ✨

It’s been a while since the last update on the game’s progress. But that doesn’t mean development has stopped - quite the opposite! Over the past few months, we’ve been working intensively on the project, and we already have a few things we’d like to share with you soon.

Eden has changed and evolved a lot during this time. That’s why we’ll gradually start revealing selected elements - the ones truly worth your attention, without spoiling the storyline. 🚧 Construction Panel Update (WIP) 🚧

In Eden Universe, progress unfolds across the great Eras: 🔸 Tribal Era 🔸 Settler Era 🔸 Colonial Era 🔸 Golden Era ✨

Each Era brings new opportunities for building and development, empowering our followers to thrive 🛠️🌿. As the metropolis blossoms, it shines with splendor ✨ — drawing the gaze of nearby settlements 🏘️. Through this, we expand our influence without the need for armies ⚔️ or costly divine powers 🔮.

With every step forward, the city’s prestige grows 🏛️, and so too does the happiness of its inhabitants 😊, who live under our divine light ☀️.

But take heed… rapid growth never goes unseen 👁️. The gods of Eden stir with envy 😠, their watchful eyes turning toward our rising power... Steam post image ================================================== 🔥 A new divine power in Eden Universe! ⛏️✨

Players, as almighty Gods, can now create boulders, which then, under the influence of the meteorite miracle ☄️, undergo immense pressure, leading to the formation of valuable ores and gemstones. 💎⛏️ But this is only the beginning of the divine process!

To extract the hidden treasures within the rock, it must first be heated 🔥 and then split apart by the lightning miracle ⚡⚡. Beware! A blazing boulder has a small chance of causing a fire 🔥🔥.

With this mechanic, you can obtain:

🔴 Mercury Ore

⚪ Tin Ore

🟠 Copper Ore

⚫ Iron Ore

🟡 Gold Ore

💎 Gemstones

🔷 Diamonds

Steam post image ================================================== 🔹 Test Map – I’m sure you already recognize it. It’s a great playground where I can throw in literally everything and see how it works.

🔹 New Lighting System 💡 – it has finally arrived in Eden! It works similarly to Talus Odyssey but also takes dynamic changes in the environment into account. What does that mean? If new flammable objects appear, the script will detect them and then “freeze” itself so it doesn’t put unnecessary strain on the game. The effect looks great, though admittedly, it might still be a little too strong 🔥🌳.

🔹 Pixel-art Font ✍️ – fully supported, with no blurring effect! 🔹 Bug Fixes 🛠️ – interface, saving, and loading all work properly now.

👉 What’s next? I’m slowly putting everything together, and soon we’ll begin testing. We’ll start small – focusing on the basics to catch as many bugs as possible in the early stages, before moving on to the actual storyline.

Testing will be done in phases. 💭 If I push hard enough, by the end of the year everyone should have the chance to play the Eden Universe demo. This demo will serve as a solid foundation for what you’ve all been waiting for…

🌟 Early Access! 🌟 With your help, I hope we can polish as much as possible before the official Early Access launch, including balancing the gameplay of the first two Ages. Steam post imageSteam post image================================================== A flashlight has been attached to the mouse system, which lights up the surrounding area at night – I seriously wondered whether Eden really needs this, but since the classic had it… I think we all know the answer. Another new feature is descriptions for everything you hover your hand over. Everything in Eden has a description of what it is, and sometimes an extra window pops up with details or hints. Of course, these are things like: Stone LMB (Left Mouse Button) Pick up When the stone is glowing: Glowing Stone LMB Pick up May cause fire! Steam post imageA small thing, but it will definitely help new players understand how the game works. There will be more changes, but that’s not the focus today. I want to test stability, balance, and critical bugs before the game goes broader with the storyline. So this will be a sandbox test. Lots to play with and try to break the game. Only once the balance is polished and the bugs fixed will we release another test version to a wider audience. I will need a control group for closed testing of Eden Universe. Anyone interested should email me explaining why you want to test Eden Universe: Email title: [EDEN Tester First Name Last Name or Nickname] Content: Tell me something about yourself and why you want to be in the closed control group. 📧 haxogamestudios@gmail.com ⚠️ NOTE: These first tests are confidential, meaning they are covered by an NDA. ================================================== 🌌 Eden Universe 🌌 - Official OST🎶
