Reward Description

Seasonal Commentary

At launch, the guided story was very light touch. Most of the game's lore was fragmented, discovered through exploration, and there were only a couple of recurring non-player characters. For Atlas Rises, we crafted a massive 30-hour story, introducing new characters and a new interdimensional race. As a first step toward true multiplayer, we allowed players to see each other as floating orbs, and tied this into the evolution of the game's lore. Our aim with updates became to always deepen and expand existing features while also adding new ones. Atlas Rises brought wealth and conflict levels to the galactic economy, as well as adding exotic biomes and the exotic ship class. Development on this update was a whirlwind, we added so much in such a short space of time. We had to code a brand-new mission system to support the story, and the ending wasn't implemented until the night before launch! (We have learned to be a little better planned now. Most of the time.)
