Perpetuum Gazes On Its "Gamma Frontier"
One of the issues that faced sandbox robot MMO Perpetuum was the frequent accusation that its world was simply too small. That's one of a number of issues being addressed in a major patch tomorrow, which constitutes an expansion called Gamma Frontier. Aside from vastly expanding its territory, with twenty-four new islands (there are currently twelve), the game will be introducing player-built structures and bases, allowing players to terraform landscapes, erect base structures, and fortifying them with defences such as walls and turrets. Along with these features, there'll also be fixes to a number of in-game issues, a reworking of the production and resource systems, and a new landscape rendering engine. Those robots are going to have a lot more space to roam, and plenty more tools to make use of it.
Gamma Frontier is set to go live tomorrow night. I'll be intrigued to see how it changes the game.
