New 4x4…

Get ready for a thrilling ride, Age of Rust fans! 🚀

I’m excited to share a complete revamp of the in-game vehicle experience. Say goodbye to flip-overs and awkward bouncing, and hello to smooth rides across vast terrains!

The original vehicle from the early dev phase faced some challenges, but I’ve been working around the clock to enhance its performance. I’ve fine-tuned the axel physics, streamlined the profile, and optimized the grip for steep terrains, ensuring a stable and enjoyable driving experience like never before.

But that’s not all! The vehicle’s appearance has also undergone a stunning transformation. With improved materials, enhanced details, and dazzling reflections, the new 4x4 G0R-1LL4 will stand out and make NPC’s jealous in the Age of Rust universe.

And the cherry on top? Experience breathtaking speeds with the enhanced performance of the G0R-1LL4, boasting a whopping 120+fps on newer GPUs. Your off-road adventures just got a whole lot more exhilarating!

So buckle up and get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey with the revamped 4x4 G0R-1LL4 in Age of Rust!

Improved Save System

Eclipse Outpost

One of the issues bemoaned by the alpha and beta players was the dreaded save system. The beta used checkpoints which players hated and if you died, it required a massive reload and wait time to get playing again. The entire save system has been completely reworked so that players can resume the game 100x faster. Saves are fast and the restores are snappy, by adopting the same type of processes used in AAA games, there’s no longer a need to reload the entire level and start over. I think this will be a welcome fix that players had to endure in the earlier releases of the game.

Integration of Polygon is…. Completed!

I’ve made some major changes to the game’s blockchain connectivity, making it easier than ever to connect and play.

First, I removed the old blockchain and replaced the outdated architecture with a fresh, new Polygon framework connection. With the project tokens on a Polygon 1155 contract and integrated Ankr APIs with our backend servers, it made the development process incredibly smooth, without any need for GraphQL.

With the Polygon upgrade complete, the game now recognizes the new Polygon tokens. To link your wallet to the game, all you have to do is scan a QR code from your MetaMask mobile wallet. It’s that simple! These changes ensure a seamless gaming experience for Age of Rust players.

Development Continues around the Final Lap…

The game is scheduled for the 4th quarter this year, as soon as I know a final date, I’ll make sure to share it with everyone. As always, stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.

Happy gaming! 🎮
