Latest Luraverse news

[cpvr]

Looks like things may be heating up for Luraverse now.

Things are starting to roll in the Luraverse. Over the past few days, the woods have opened, allowing LP players to retrieve some of their former pets or lure new pets. The side bar was updated to show the active pet.

A first rudimentary version of the User Detail pages has been brought online, and right now the pet detail pages and a badge system are being worked on.

Our goal is to have sufficient content available and testing done to open up Luraverse to everyone by the summer holidays.

Stay tuned!

User Details
The first rudimentary version of the User Detail screens has been completed. You can access your own user detail page by clicking your username on the right hand corner. You can look up online players by clicking the number next to Online Now, then clicking the username.

Progress Update
The shuttles carrying the animals were caught in the meteor storm and have landed on different planets. Each shuttle carrying specific species.

While people were rebuilding, the animals survived on their own. On Lurania, that was in the woods. Now that everything is safe, the woods will be opening up soon for people to go and lure pets in.

At this time during beta, any item will be usable to lure animals. If your animals were of species not on this planet (you will know because the first animal you lure will have a name tag on it), you will still have to lure a random available animal without a previous owner.

We're changing our initial space ship plans. Our intention was to have every ship with every "option" and many upgrades. This is being simplified. Each ship will have a specific function and you can build your fleet based on your needs. Each ship will require one of your animals to commandeer it.

Before we get back to reorganizing the shuttle shack, we will be working on the pet and user detail screens. If your former animals are not on Lurania, be patient and get ready to travel to other planets

More Luraverse:

After a long wait, the woods are now open. If you previously owned a Kreston, Squal or Kirien, you will be able to retrieve them. If not, you will need to lure a new animal to commandeer the spaceship you will be building, so you can travel to other planets in an effort to find your old friends.




We also enhanced the text navigation under the Lurania map (This Planet) since it may take a little while for the Lurania flash map to update

I find it kinda funny how you have to lure your own pets XD
Great to see updates though, can't wait for more!
