The entire team has been having a blast and enjoying all the Genesis 2 content you've been sharing. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! As the team continues to iterate on some bugs from the latest launch, we wanted to take this time and talk about something we've seen across the minds of the survivor community:



Though Genesis 2 marks the end of the journey and the end of paid content for ARK 1, in terms of new content and new experiences: there is much more in the works! ARK's thriving community is full of talent and we'll be tapping into that talent for another community map to bring into the official fold later in the year. In addition to new maps, we're continuing to support the live-game with quality-of-life additions, TLC patches, updates, and fixes to pesky bugs. New experiences will continue to roll in with community events and in-game holiday events. Summer Bash anyone 😉?

Even though Genesis 2 concludes an epic journey we all embarked on, we are looking forward to the next one!

Dear players,

First of all, please let me welcome all new players to be a part of the Galactic Crew! In this week's dev log, I want to give you a compact preview of the next content update that is scheduled for late July and I also want to give you more exciting news!

Combat update
The first big update back in the Beta phase was focused on construction and colonies. The second update (May) was focused on the exploration theme and the upcoming update will be focused on combat.

There will be a new playable race: robots! The image below gives you a preview of the new playable models. There will also be a new story line focusing on improving your crew's equipment, improving your ship's weapons and the new robot race.



There will be a completely new room for your colonies with new features, scientists will get new active and passive skills, there are new items to craft, new cards to use when creating a new game, new achievements in Steam, new elements in the tech tree and many quality-of-life improvements - some of which were requested by you. There will also be a way to upgrade your weapons with special abilities!

I am actively working on improving the jobs of characters especially for the ground combat system that needs improvement.

Was this everything? No! This is just a brief summary for you to get a feeling what is coming up in late July! I make great progress so far and I think the update will be completed by then.



Twitch
If you have ever wrote me an e-mail, started a Steam discussion or sent me a Twitter DM, you know that I will always respond as fast as possible. Player interactions are very important to me, because you know best what you want in the game and I enjoy seeing players enjoying the work I have done. I was looking for new ways to interact with you and I will start my own Twitch channel very soon. Artists are currently working on graphics and designs for the channel and I am waiting for the delivery of hardware. Hopefully, I can start the channel next week or in two weeks. I will announce on Twitter before I go live for the first time. I do not expect any subscriptions or anything. I will develop Galactic Crew II live on streams, playtest the game and present new features, play games I like or I want to research and talk to you. So, if you are interested in this kind of interaction, feel free to follow me.

What's next?
I will post the Twitch streaming dates on Twitter once I know them. I will write new dev logs here every two weeks. The reworking of the ground combat system and other features will be very time-consuming and I could not present exciting news every week.

If you like the game, please leave a positive Steam review and if you have criticism of any kind, please let my know by sending me a DM or opening a Steam discussion.

Kind regards, Benjamin

We were grateful for Joyce Ross of Games Keys, who mentions us in an article about June's big releases on Steam. Many Games are on the list, including our Topper Carrier.

Thanks All !!

1. Adjusted the 403 and the wall of the second floor ladies room
   
2. secretly changed the unlocker, now faster than the animation of high-speed unlocking, will lead to the next lock failure bug will not have

We've discovered an issue with the Safety Gem compensation for the Death Penalty and Safety Charm Changes in v.223 and will be temporarily disabling it from the Gift Drop until further notice. The issue was that the Safety Gem compensation could be claimed multiple times.

The following is the Safety Gem compensation that has been disabled:

• Permanent duration Safety Gems obtained through Cash Shop sales will be removed and accounts affected by the removal will be fully refunded with Maple Points.
  
• The Marvel Machine coupons for Safety Gems will be disabled at 7:00 PM PDT on June 7, and accounts affected by the coupon disabling will be refunded with 1,640 Maple Points (1/3 of Marvel Machine spin price) per coupon.

We are currently investigating this issue and will make the above compensation available to those that have yet to claim it from their Gift Drop as soon as we can. In addition to the above, we're also looking into the issue where the compensation for Safety Gem Marvel Machine coupons that had their expirations extended after we temporarily disabled the coupon redemption in September 2019 was not distributed. We'll provide an update once we've investigated these issues and are ready to enable the compensation once again. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

This past week we focused more on the multiplayer code improvements, primarily on creature syncing and inventory interactions in multiplayer. Our next goal on multiplayer is to improve and stabilize space travel and multiplayer vehicles further.

The Map system received a lot of attention this week, adding sweeping radar radii, improved resource filtering, improved panning, and icon interactivity in the GPS screen. We feel this is a good step for the map feature set, and we will continue building this system out.

We've also added the new Species System to the creature AI, which allows for variants within each species. Creatures will now show size and age, which changes their appearance and abilities. This will give more variety and strategy to the creature combat, as various species will be invulnerable to certain attacks, can now spit acid (or other gunk), and even grow to colossal sizes!

The in-game GUI and HUD received lots of resizing and layout polish. These various subtle adjustments create more space, less clutter, less overlap, and adds clarity.
