It is currently summer break, and I am currently a full-stack software developer intern (ASP.NET + Angular for anyone who is interested). I do have more time to work on the game, but I have become such a better programmer over the past few months. This has led me to begin a rewrite project.

The rewrite will consist:

  • Brand new polished UI

  • UI Themes!

  • Removing the current tutorial system, replacing it with a task/chapter system. If the storyline is ever made, it'll be combined with this.

  • (Hopefully In the future) modding support

  • Brand new menu and settings system.

  • Ability to have more than one playfab cloud and local account per device

  • Major performance boosts

  • Etc.

Here are some screenshots of what I have so far: Main Menu

Don't forget your passwords! Jk, I have you covered

New Crafting/Research interface

Expandable/Collapsable stuff

New Presets Idea

AGAIN THESE ARE JUST PREVIEWS, NOT AN ACTUAL UPDATE. THERE IS STILL NO ETA.

Some other news: I am no longer associated with "CryptoGrounds or CryptoGrounds Games LLC". I have rebranded to a more friendly and accurate name "Considera Core LLC", where my slogan is: "Games and software, consideration at its' core!" Lastly, it is still pretty much me working on the game.

A good friend of mine will be joining me in making some cool ass art and a storyline for the game. Exciting stuff to come!

See ya in another few months probably haha, Zach / Considera Games LLC
