GOO PHASE 2 | Q3 2018 Development Update

We are updating the release window targets for Guardians of Orion Phase 2.


GOO PHASE 2 - OUR BIGGEST & BEST SO FAR!


This is our largest production to date and has been underway for about a year now. We knew going into this it wouldn't be easy just with the modules and content we wanted to deliver, but also the unexpected variables that can and do popup when lifting the hood.



In my opinion GOO PHASE 2 is our greatest product to date and we cannot wait to share it with all of you - but only when the time is right.



GOOD STUFF!


The good news is we've done most of the critical components already, including major aspects such as but not limited to:

1. New game engine & technology integrations
2. New FPS Module
3. Optimizations & Polish (Technical)
4. Optimizations & Polish (Rendering)
5. Completely Remastered or Rebuilt Regions
6. Harvest v2.0
7. New Player HUD
8. SFX/VFX Remastering (Enemies, Worlds, Characters, Abilities, etc)





TIME VARIABLE UPDATE


The remaining aspects are not nearly as complex as what has already been achieved, just more-so time consuming. However we have missed our targeted window and have now entered a segment of the year in which is overly saturated and populated with other amazing games. There are currently many things in motion and others that need to still be determined. There is nothing specific to announce just yet as we evaluate new release window viability between ourselves and intended partners/platform(s).




GAME PREVIEW POTENTIAL


We are planning for ways that fans can play PHASE 2 before it officially comes out. We are working on setting up a Playable Preview so those interested can experience things a bit sooner. Beyond this and closer to the official public debut will likely be a 2nd play session in the form of a Beta.
More details as we get closer and finalize key aspects.



DOING WHAT IS BEST


The sooner it's released, the better for EVERYONE so this choice is made with a heavy heart but one that is ultimately best for the game.

We want to get this out to all of you to enjoy and experience. We have been working very hard on this product and are so proud of it. This is by far the best work we've done to date and we cannot wait to show you what we have been working on so hard.



The best way to help is simply spread the word!

Encourage people to check out the game or even all of the work completed on Phase 2 so far and helping bring additional awareness as we inch closer and closer.






Thanks for reading and more to come soon.

GOO Phase 2 | Antar Region (Comparison Video)

This is the most significant game update we've ever made and cannot wait to share it with you.

GOO Phase 2 | New Player HUD (WIP)

While much of our focus is on quality-of-life and polish for the v2.1 update on Guardians of Orion, there is a significant amount of new, fresh and or remastered content including the Blink Module, FPS Module, Game Content and also a brand new Player HUD.


This image depicts ALL HUD elements active at once. This isn't reflective of gameplay and only to illustrate all modules of the HUD.
