Rooniversary: YEAR 1 IS HERE
THANK YOU EVERYROO! This time last year all of us escaped the machine and began our long journey to rediscover Roohalla.
PLAY LIVE ‘YEAR OF BOPPING: PILGRIMAGE’ EVENT IN ROOCORD NOW 🎉
Milestones
Before we head into this week’s updates, lets look back at some heckin cool things we’ve achieved together so far…
Origin Roos
A genesis mint of 4444 on-chain collectibles sold out in 20 minutes.
The roocord was EXPLODING with new owners trying to grab fresh Roos!
I’m literally the best looking guy here by far. Studio Breakout
Our 4 co-founders put together a web3 studio from an established web2 studio, with a team full of AAA engineers and artists. That studio is none other than XP Foundry, dedicated to developing the Rooniverse IP and beyond.
SOME OF THE TEAMS PREVIOUS TITLES Roo Camp
Owners started Training and sending their Roos on Hunts for special items.
The Camp currently has 3700 active Roos and at one point reach 99% Roos staked!
Yes this is a new Roopack that hasn’t hit Camp yet. RooHub Community & Events
As more owners adopted Roos, RooHub became one of the happiest hangouts with a collaborative community taking part in gamified events: Snowfight, Fast Food Jambos, Rooscouts, and more!
The closing of Rooscouts event in 2022 was one of the most legendary yet! Private Pre-Alpha Launch
Playtesters got to experience real multiplayer combat with 20% of Mini-Rooyale mechanics on iOS/Android and PC/Mac.
Rooniverse quickly gained reputation the FUNNEST early-stage games to play and watch.
Partnerships
We partnered with top-tier communities, competitive guilds, and esports organisations such as Degen Legends, FFF, BAGG, XBorg, YGGSEA, and Global Esports Federation.
Some recognisable friendos who has joined us on the journey! Alpha Launch Coming Up…
We’re headed toward the halfway mark for the base game. Alpha launch will be accessible to all Origin Roo owners for a chance to be HECKIN ROOHALLA CHAMPIONS!
LETS SHED SOME HECKIN BLOOD
Now, back to regular programming :3
Game Development
This build is not public yet. Please hang tight while we get it ready for Alpha launch!
Custom lobbies are back in the admin build after being removed for massive bug fixing.
Leaving the game in the middle of a Mini-Rooyale or Freeplay match now takes you to the lobby instead of login screen like before (aint nobody got time for that)
Toy menu colour has been fixed to look more Roo
Endpoint security checks for the player database completed multiple times
Combat roll default key has been changed to Spacebar from Left Shift
The most long await thing amongst playtesters: Custom keybinds has been added for PC/Mac players!
Cinematic building assets are being reworked for the Roohalla game map.
Cinematic Video
Ground test shots to show off building assets and environment design in three maps.
Streets of Roohalla, and what, and what? More progress on first pass of animatics!
Community
A new Alpha Scout has joined the team! Please welcome Nftkingpin.Sol who will revive Scout chat and get us back on track with whitelists.
Remeber that when you join the Roo team, we dig up your cutest chat to display here. RooHub whitelist opportunities this week included Degen Legends presale, and DEVA!
Some Roo Bucket Hats seem to have gotten lost, if you haven’t received yours yet please open a ticket in #help-desk and Jamb will find you a tracking number!
NOW ENOUGH READING PLS GO GET YOUR PILGRIMAGE GEAR. HAPPY HUNTING AS ALWAYS!
