Hi Galactic Survivalists,

We are very sorry but something broke in the last patch. DO NOT update the game and server atm.
If you have done this already then the best is to shutdown and wait till we fixed it so things dont get worse then it is.

Note: this only applies to Old SaveGames. If you start a fresh SaveGame then everything works fine

Update: Exp release postponed to tomorrow (19th) due to extended hunt.
——

Hi Galactic Survivalists!

Without further ado, you can save the following dates about the version 1.5 experimental and public release.

Experimental version 1.5 will launch on Wednesday, 19th of may.

Client and server files will be available from that date. Feedback threads and more info will be added to the experimental sub-forum by then: https://empyriononline.com/forums/#experimental-branch.33

Please note: For being able to test all the features of version 1.5, starting a new game is mandatory, as updated missions, POI and related cannot be updated on already existing saved games. There is also the chance that it might become necessary to start new, in case we need to update the experimental version with critical fixes on these content items.

Reminder: Creating POI and missions with the experimental version will lead to issues when they are used in version 1.4.x! You need to wait for version 1.5 to release them to your subscribers!

exp.png

Public version 1.5 release is currently scheduled for tuesday, 8th of june.

This date might still be subject to change. As always: depends on how well the experimental phase goes. ;)

Please note: Although v1.5 will NOT break saved games, starting a new game with version 1.5 is highly recommended, as the updated missions, POI and related content cannot be updated to previous saved games.

Our public servers will be wiped with the public release of version 1.5 as well.

Read you soon!

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

When we made our first announcement we said that version 1.5 will focus on code work.

One of these code-heavy topics we are working on is artificial intelligence. Today we want to give you a little insight on what is going on with that.

The main goals of the introduction of the new ground AI creatures in version 1.5 is as follows:

● Introduction of a new set of AI vs AI interactions. This starts with predator AI hunting prey AI to feed. Or scavengers AI looking for corps to eat. In this way the player will have the new ability to not be at center of the action but also to observe action around him. This will let some new survival strategy arise.

● Some new states are added to the creature like the hunger, the thirst or the ability to hide. This will bring some slightly more sophisticated behavior that will create a more immersive environment.

● Overall some more complex behavior of creatures have been developed to bring some more unique action for each creature that will challenge the player in some new and unexpected way.

Para_raptor_hunt.jpg

The following four, already existing creatures will mark the start of our efforts in terms of improving AI but also make the worlds of Empyrion even more immersive!.

Alien Insects
The Alien Insects now have territorial behavior and will defend their chosen edible plants within their territory that is an area of about a radius of 30m. The behavior has also a new hunger state that will make the creatures eat their favorite plants whenever they are hungry.

Food_eating_interest.jpg

Parasaur
A hunger state and a thirst state have been added to the creature. This will imply that the Parasaur will have a hunger and a thirst that will increase over time. Whenever the creature reaches a hunger and thirst threshold it will go to eat his favorite plants or will go to drink nearby water. During the night the Parasaurs will hide in the grass to spend the night and avoid the predators.

Para_patternDrink.jpg

Raptor
The new version of the Raptor AI will have some new abilities like scavenging corpses, hunting AI prey, stalking the player and hiding to ambush him.

Raptor_Scavange.jpg

Alien Bug Group
This mixed group of bugs will show a behavior of the mother bug creature spawning some guard bugs around her and firing at some distance. The guard bugs are aggressive and go for some melee attacks to any intruder.

These four updated AI...

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

Although the version 1.5 is heavily code-focused, we not only have new content for story runners and explorers (as detailed in the past dev blogs here and here). We also have a few gifts for our builders.

To conclude the April fools joke from last year, we added the ‘modern’ variant for the restrooms to complete this model set, with the modern variant showers already available. We hope you know how to use the three sea shells.

ToiletModern.jpg

Speaking of sets: when we added the Heavy Window, we also had an additional lineup idea with a few more ‘emperor style’ variants in mind. We are looking forward to what you will be doing with the Heavy Windows (patterned).

WindowsPatterned.jpg

In case you do not know what to put besides new windows and the toilet on the bare naked walls of your base or vessel, try our new motivational posters, made by Rumepelstilskin! You can either get them as a reward from playing the story missions or find a GIN console in one of the trading stations and get a random poster for a minimal ‘GIN Gallery’ support fee! ;)

A few examples:
Poster-Selection.jpg

You want something more menacing for POI bases and NPC vessels? We have you covered! With version 1.5 we have set up the small ‘bulb turrets’ of The Legacy ships with different variants, colored in red, blue, green, cyan, yellow, orange, purple and black to guard the galaxy in style. Their weapons of course have the matching effect color as well! As a little side note: we have added these not only because we could, but with some future (post v1.5) weapon rebalancing in mind. ;)

Turrets_New.jpg

Last, but not least, if you ever were done with building, but still envious of the Talon having these nice crossbows and you instantly remembered that hairy fellow wielding a similar, but lazer pew pew based weapon .. maybe check out the renewed Tales of the Past story mission!

CrossbowChargedTalon.jpg

We hope these new toys will be enjoyable and we had enough movie allusions for this dev blog. :D

Read you soon.
