Well, here are the facts: GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS
Bad news-
*Apophis and Idolo have been put on "Hold" for a while and will not be permanently replaced. My apologies to the authors for the misunderstanding.
I think they're both worth the wait:
"Don't look at me, I'm not ready yet" -Idolo
*ZOEOA will have to be delayed to a new date due to insufficient resources and the game is still incomplete.
*development time has been slow due to a small "developer's block"
Good news-
*ZOEOA will have its very own full-time server by the end of this year.
*ZOEOA will have another graphics tune-up, and all of its mechs will be optimized for computer performance.
*ZOEOA will include all of the pilots from ZOE 1 and 2, and even include a handful from Fist Of Mars.
*ZOEOA will have its very own online tournaments every 4 months(3 times per year). The first place winners get a $200 US dollar cash prize!
*Both Orbital Frame Rougue Raptor, and Jehuty will be replaced.....
.....by Jehuty V2 WITH ZEROSHIFT, and ANUBIS!!!(No development has happened on Anubis yet, but we're already brainstorming)
* Last but not least, a DLC center will be made for ZOEOA where you may download custom parts for your game, suchas:
-custom BGM's
-custom logo screens
-custom mech appearances(ex. Gundam WingxJehuty mix)
-custom sounds
-*coming soon* Custom intro videos
A ranking system will be made so that these downloads will be restricted to those without making enough posts. This will hopefully allow some internet traffic to happen in the forum and re-establish the ZOE fanbase.
Here's a preview of the future forum if you haven't seen it yet:
http://zoeoa.team-talk.net/(Note: the zoeoa forum will
NOT replace the ZOETUS site. Rather, it will collaborate with it since ZOETUS is the 'Core' of the ZOE fanbase, and some ZOEOA content may be exclusive to the ZOETUS site and ZOEOA sites separately.
That is all for now.
