In light of the market events in the past week, XP Foundry (makers of Rooniverse) would like to send positive roonergy to all community members and friends! Onwards to Roohallaaaaa
Game Development
Account creation, log-in, F2P Roo creation, Origin Roo loading, and Roo modifications (temporary customisations) are now live between front-end and backend.
Please note, this build is not yet public due to upcoming UI fixes and just us wanting to make sure everything works proofect in general before Roo owners start making accounts.Ran into some server connection issues this week, but all fixed now!
New UI is still being rolled out. Heres where we’re at!
As you can see, this is a work in progress and our official logo looks silly there; working on some first passes on a more suitable version for in-game UI.
Custom keybinds being added; we hope to have it by the next build :)
Engineers are now working on loadout management (each Roo can be a loadout) and experience points.
Cinematic Video
Jamb was going to rooveal some amazing shots of Roohalla but I had a dream about it and posted it yesterday.
Some more delicious decorations for our cinematic scenery!
Game-view test shots of building assets placed on maps. How many maps should we preview in the video?
As described last week, the cinematic video is being rendered in 1:1 square so that we can produce both horizontal and vertical versions of the video easily! Here’s what it’s like…
Who the heck is this? Get him out of here.
Roo Camp
We know lots of Roo Camp maxis are waiting on new Hunts.
The Rooscouts and devs are coordinating very carefully on timing all new launches to work together, and this will include some juicy new Hunts for everyone!
Community
Jamb posted an announcement to clarify Rooniverse’s position in response to this week’s tumultuous events! ROOS ARE SAFU!
#help-desk channel has been fixed so that everyone can access now.
Community Croo members are now rocking new role permissions incase anybody loses a previous role for whatever reason!
More Roo Bucket Hats have arrived for RooHub members, don’t forget to tag us in your bucket hat posts!
Incase you have missed the announcement, Roopack and Crates owners are advised to DELIST their SFTs from Magic Eden. TO BE SAFE JUST INCASE :)
You can list on Famous Foxes’ token marketplace instead for now!🧵/ Due to reports of FTX’s compromised security, we did an audit to see how we could protect our users - Your NFTs are safe & secure - @ProjectSerum, a program we use for SFT trading, may have been affected. To be safe, we temporarily disabled SFT listings & sales on @MagicEdenThere is speculation that the upgrade authority for Serum may have been compromised because FTX internal private keys have been (upgrade authorities are Solana keypairs that can change on-chain program code). An emergency fork is currently being discussed.Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapitalWe held off on running mini-events for RooHub’s whitelist allocations this week. However, we’d like to congratulate RooHub winners who got to use or sell their acquired WL tokens this month. This includes friend projects such as Popheadz and BAT Brigade!
