Earlier today, Minor Studios released the July 23rd edition of Mailbox, which is the continuation of the Atmosphir Journal. Sadly, this was not recorded in his kitchen. On the bright side, many players’ questions were answered. Below is a basic summary of all questions asked.
In-School Resources. Dave would like to insert Atmosphir into the educational environment through the use of proxy servers, written resources, school versions of Atmosphir, etc. All that was said was the possibility, and no timeline was given.
Dave does not have a second job. Working on Atmosphir takes up nearly all of his time.
Goat and Human friendships. According to Dave, it cannot happen.
Project Stratosphir will be released by the end of the year. As long as everything goes according to plan, multiplayer will be released for Atmosphir by the end of the year. Once again, this is if everything goes according to plan.
Dave’s refrigerator contents. Not much, because Dave is traveling lately.
Maximum number of players in multiplayer. Right now, Stratosphir supports a total of five players. Dave hopes that this can be raised to a total of twelve. Co-op hopes to be a total for four.
New engine footage. See video to watch.
Upgrading to new the engine. Nearly all of the resources have been imported, excluding character models. This is due to the new physics being used for the player. Aside from a few players, very few actually know the name of the engine.
Gravity rules. Odds are there will be high and low gravity variables. Most likely, there will be the option to change gravity within the level by the player, or in the rules by the creator.
Saving money in a tough economy. Dave and his friends have saved money by staying within a $5 limit for meals, as well as entertaining themselves with cheap entertainment, such as free games.
Coffee or Tea? Hot chocolate.
Incomplete games. Dave has never beaten Dead Rising, Fallout 3, Zack and Wiki, and Super Monkey Ball for the iPhone.
Altogether, none of this news was revolutionary. Most of it was pretty common knowledge, but it was reassuring to hear it from Dave himself. Everyone remember to thank him for doing this, as he is taking the time for these updates at our request.
