Live feed from inside Earth 2 servers🌏✌️

After years of R&D + months of relentless work through Q2, super excited to finally share a detailed breakdown of the very first playable #E2V1 release! 🌎✌️ 🧬Character Synthesis v1.0 🧳 Inventory System v1.0 🌿Foraging v1.0 🎧 Immersive Audio v1.0 🕓 Day Cycles v1.0 ❄️ Seasons v1.0 ❤️ Character Vitals v1.0 🎮 Action Bar v1.0 🌐 Multiplayer server-side architecture 📜 Quests v1.0 (website deployed) Check out the full article here with a detailed breakdown on each & every aspect, plus some insight into what's coming next: earth2.io/news/e2v1-chapter-… I know I was a little quiet throughout Q2, as was #Earth2 in general, but it's because we're so busy designing, implementing, testing, building. Remember, we are still in Pre-Alpha & this will be our first playable release of #E2V1, probably our biggest software release to date! We are still a few days away on the build, just fixing a few known bugs, mainly bugs around the new inventory system, specifically regarding management between the Discovery Box & the Inventory. The article explains the purpose behind testing, so our expectation is for #Players to stay close to their properties to test a few things out because you will be prone to dying easily the further you stray, especially if you don't have a natural water supply close by & food to forage & sustain you. I guess some might be up for the challenge to see how far they can go but that is not our expectation for this initial #RealityThread release! Apparently the article is a 60+ min read (according to our news article publishing tool) so make sure you have a spare moment when you dig in! Though we know it will be buggy, as expected, we are so excited to see #Players running around inside #E2V1 & streaming. It's only the beginning! #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1 #PreAlpha #OpenWorld #Chapter1 #RealityThread1 $ESS

Flashback on some of the custom Limited Edition collectible #skins created by #Earth2🌎✌️ 🔥 Most of these drops sold out & will only ever be available again on a #P2P secondary market. Congrats to those who own some of these & I can't wait to see how #Players customise some of their skins inside #E2V1 when that feature comes online in the future. I don't believe the #Metaverse should be confined to a single genre, aesthetic or style & that has been an intentional approach from the start. It’s more of a platform that, at its core, will (at least initially) be shaped by diverse elements of the internet, including various aspects of gaming, which will serve as the framework for establishing foundational rules for life, engagement & interactivity within this emerging world - something that will become apparent with the early mechanics inside #E2V1. While the #LimitedEdition #skin drops will slow down after the remaining sets are cleared, we will continue expanding into new genres & styles by way of more traditional unlimited, time-based drops, continuing to empower our #Players to shape & define their identity as part of the deeper immersion within #Earth2 & possibly branching off into role playing, which I see as becoming part of experiences over time. Also, an important note that when skin customisation is available it will come with risk & reward, so the #Player will need to decide on whether to customise a skin or not, as when a skin is customised, it will not be revertible back to its original state. This means the rarity of the original authentic version of the skin can potentially increase the more times that specific skin is customised by other #Players, the flip side being that a well customised skin could literally become 1 of a kind. #Earth2 #E2V1 #Metaverse #Custom #LimitedEdition #Skins

🚨#Earth2 update 🌏✌️ First I'd like to apologise to our community for the lateness of this message. I was still considering a traditional last timezone #Q2 release but honestly we could use a little more time. As you can see in the screen recording, we've been extremely busy the past 3 months with multiple commits per day on average from our dev team & this recording is only of commits made directly to our #E2V1 repository. It does not include #BE / Server repository commits or tasks completed for custom development from our VFX, SFX, Concept Art & Animation teams or the countless other points of progressive development. While there are some in our community who would better understand what multiple daily repo commits means, the video footage just helps others to visualise how much work goes into the development of just one facet of Earth 2, and even though we may not publish a lot of public updates, we are extremely busy & focused on development & progress behind the scenes. Sometimes you lose track of time with so many different developments in progress. Excitingly for everyone, Chapter 1 is a very big release for us & includes some very important updates that will introduce the foundations for activity & experiences inside #E2V1. There are many moving parts & many new mechanisms we've had to design, develop & implement into an incredibly large, seamless, open world just to make Chapter 1 possible. We're also building a persistent world, meaning we're not just developing for a single player local PC environment, which would be much, much easier, but instead requires a lot of API & server integration for almost every feature implemented - and that doesn't even involve the multiplayer networking element which we've also made good progress on throughout #Q2. We're not implementing API & server integration only for a persistent world, but also to mitigate against hacking. I just wanted to provide this update & apologise for the lateness of this notification. Remember, we are still in a pre-alpha stage so there are inevitably going to be bugs & issues. Seeing as though we are going to miss #Q2 anyway, we could use another week or two to fix some known bugs & make it a little smoother. It won't be longer than that & even though it's not a lot of additional time in the big picture, I still said #Q2 & I apologise that we are going to overshoot that time frame. We will aim to publish an article this weekend to provide everyone with an in depth explanation behind the early access release & I think that article will help our community understand just how much work has gone into the past 3 months by our team. I guess I could have made this post short & sweet but I wanted to provide additional context so thanks for reading through. To end on a more positive note, hands on play testing has been very eye opening to possibilities & immersion #E2V1 offers. There are so many opportunities waiting & so many directions to take .. it really is very exciting. Another positive point is I believe this will be the final quarter of waiting in boredom / pain as moving forward we'll have feet on the ground inside #E2V1 & once it is stable we will be able to release subsequent updates faster. #Earth2 #Metaverse #RealityThreads #E2V1 #PreAlpha

Don't miss the final #LimitedEdition character skin drop leading up to the #Earth2 early access #Chapter1 release! A community design submitted skin (congratulations @MegaFrontman!) which our talented team modeled to life in 3D, ready for use in the #Metaverse 🌎✌️ These #LimitedEdition character skin drops are all we've released to date, so people have gotten used to them, but just a reminder that in the future any new #LimitedEdition character drops will be a lot fewer & farther between once #E2V1 is live, reserved mainly for very special events or collaborations. We want all #LimitedEdition drops to be become more rare & sort after as the platform grows. As mentioned in the past, we will move to a more traditional style system releasing character skins with unlimited editions that are only available for limited times throughout each year. There are a few other important points we'd like to share before the first variation drops: 1⃣ For this drop $ESS skin options will be based on a fixed $0.06 $ESS value. 2⃣ As mentioned in the past, any #LimitedEdition skin drops that don't sell out could be released again in the future until they sell out, but only after the #P2P skin trading store is live. 3⃣ #LimitedEdition skins that have not sold out & are released again will be at least double their original release sale price, sometimes more depending on which skin it is. So it's ok if skins don't sell out, they're just something available for early supporters. 4⃣ The last remaining Luna skin, not yet released, will be released at a future date, which could be any time. 5⃣ We know we still need to release the Cybercore-X weapons. 6⃣ There might be a one or two surprise drops throughout this final #LimitedEdition release 7⃣ How freaking cool is this Cheok Jun-Gyeong #skin! The Korean community requested it and #Earth2 delivered! When you consider the fact that #Players will be able to use these skins not only on their Characters but also on their #NPCs, these #LimitedEditions may be in higher demand & rarer as the platform grows. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%27%… Some very cool history behind this historic #Korean figure & it will be very cool to have him roaming the #Metaverse! #Earth2 #E2V1 $ESS #Metaverse #OpenWorld #cosmeticskin #Collectible

Foundations for #Earth2 are coming together 🌎✌️ Don't forget to catch this sneak peek on recent progress coming in 2025 & beyond to #E2V1 in 4K youtu.be/RWY4YbqmFNw Follow up article this weekend will cover: 1⃣details on new energy types #F2P #Players can earn & how these systems overlap with various parts of game play & the #EcoSim 2⃣ in depth details about the #EggHunt system including the Game Master & what it means for #LandOwners & #Resource miners 3⃣ important details about the crafting system including various ways to gather & craft and how environments might influence results 4⃣ key information about dynamic environments such as day night cycles, weather & seasons and how some links are formed between Earth 5⃣ details about wildlife including interaction, utility & capture 6⃣ details about the early transportation methods & how this might expand 7⃣ information about the initial building options & possibly ways they link into early global game play The article contains a lot of information & will help #Players form a picture of the short term plans I have for #E2V1 & how they link together in various ways. People tend to see one thing they might not like & not realise there are probably 5 other things they will enjoy. As I have always reiterated, over time there will be so many things to do inside #Earth2 & I think that will become more apparent as we start to release some of these early open world mechanics which will be designed to create more real time desirable #Utility for $ESS which will also include more burn mechanisms. There is probably enough to discuss with the $ESS report & latest progress video for a few days, but keep an eye out for the article this weekend as I'm sure there are a number of key details #Players & #LandOwners alike will want to learn about. #Earth2 #E2V1 #Metaverse #OpenWorld $ESS #PlayerDriven #sneakpeek #videogames #P2E

We're working on a lot of things, too much considering it's one week away! I won't be taking time off this year & a lot of team are going to work through (devs). Focused on #E2V1 for Jan plus a lot of other updates in progress!

Check out #Earth2 #Hordes Combat Mechanics #Vol2! The article contains more details about the video so be sure to read it 🌍✌️ 📔earth2.io/news/combat-mechan… 📽️youtu.be/jMQm_qdzEjs A few things to please consider: 1⃣The footage shown in this video represents work-in-progress updates to Earth 2’s combat system. 2⃣This is not the only thing we are working on, other team members are working on other tasks and updates as well. 3⃣These features are still under development and are not polished or finalised and we expect them to improve. 4⃣This is not the only thing we are working on, other team members are working on other tasks and updates as well. 5⃣The purpose of this footage release is to provide our community with an inside look at what some of the team members have been working on in relation to the combat mechanics and the progress they’ve made. 6⃣This is not the only thing we are working on, other team members are working on other tasks and updates as well. 7⃣This footage was taken about 6-7 weeks ago, the team has made more progress since then. 8⃣This is not the only thing we are working on, other team members are working on other tasks and updates as well. 9⃣Combat Mechanics Vol.3 is pretty cool & introduces a new weapon + showcases the "specific feature I wanted which has already brought out a few chuckles during playtests" - this feature basically transforms the entire combat mechanics, you'll see in Vol.3. 1⃣0⃣ This is not the only thing we are working on, other team members are working on other tasks and updates as well. 1⃣1⃣ This video does not mean the initial #E2V1 release is delayed. I still want that live in Jan. 1⃣2⃣This is not the only thing we are working on, other team members are working on other tasks and updates as well. Please read the article!!! This footage, or the concept or #Earth2 #Hordes does not mean any long term visions for #Earth2 have changed, I am just focused on increasing #utility for #land, $ESS & #Resources while also developing systems we're going to need long term anyway. I still want to focus on the next steps of the #EcoSim next year while also having some fun, interactive, hands on #3D game loops live inside #E2V1. #Earth2 #Metaverse #E2V1 $ESS #Hordes #MiniGame #development #OpenWorld

Welcome to a little series we're starting that showcases parts of the creation process for #Earth2 custom made 3D assets. The article goes into a lot more detail on the steps taken so check it out! 🌍✌️ 📔earth2.io/news/creation-proc… 📽️youtu.be/LpjKikpFyuw Few things to remember: 1⃣ this is just a little series we're sharing to showcase some of the work that goes on behind the scenes to bring things to life, which also acknowledges the hard work our #3D team put into creating these assets 2⃣ we asked our #3D team to record footage on some of the assets they work on, I think there was about 7 hours of footage for the skeleton video and I know some of the other videos had over 60 hours of footage. Our video team condense it down into a few minutes played at speed to showcase 3⃣ just because we are showcasing this now does not mean it's what the team is actively working on, nor does it mean it's the only thing the team has been working on. This footage was recorded months ago. 4⃣ just check out the video and article if you're interested, and enjoy knowing that #Earth2 is dedicated to creating its own assets and IP for the long haul! Over time, hundreds (maybe even thousands) of these creations will populate #E2V1, paving the way for more experiences and deeper immersion. Sometimes people miss the big picture and can't see the forest for the trees.. these are all steps #Earth2 #Metaverse $ESS #creationprocess #series #stepbystep

We will look at logistics & manufacturing building blocks first, and I hope to have buildings placed inside #E2V1 by #Players next year. We also have to release the initial #E2V1, plus planned mini-games so yes, we're going to be very busy. We will scale the team as necessary, but we need to scale with the right talent, so I want to make sure we have a well oiled, functioning smaller team first and then we will build on that as needed. We're conducting interviews regularly and we will build the team as required, yes.
