Since its successful Kickstarter, Novaquark has been hard at work on bringing their epic sandbox MMO Dual Universe to life. The single-shard massive universe is a huge undertaking, and we caught up with Jean Christophe-Baillie, Founder of Novaquark to see how far along they are and what’s coming next.

Have not yet though. Maybe there is hope?
Nah there is really none for me or the human race.
I remain highly sceptical of the outcome, but I'm intrigued enough to back it anyway !
It will be a very interesting journey...
Have a look at their proposed game design and feature list, then you can express your own opinion !

The scope of DU makes SC look like a pre-school themepark imho

Example the mention of "the chosen ones"well i would expect to see this incoming of transportation ships unloading tons of players.Then i want to see communication with the mother land,likely travel to and from ,a new trade route setup between this colonization and the planet that sent them.
In other words,i don't want to some fake story,i want to SEE IT.
Tools,yes that is a solid step that most games are missing,what becomes of them and their use remains to be seen.
Voxels..hmm now that could be sketchy in several ways.I don't like the way building is usually done,magically you are laying down tiles or some odd animation for harvesting.In the end ,Voxel gaming usually looks a bit low end to fake but again ,i can wait and see.
I look for a bigger picture,what exactly am i doing as a player entering the game?Am i to wander around exploring and talking to npc's,am i to hunt animals/creatures or do i auto land in some spot beside a npc with a big yellow marker over his head holding my hand?These first few minutes are make it or break it for me,i am not into hand holding nor connect the dots gaming and i expect ideas to make sense and look decent,i expect to feel like the story says,some chosen one sent here to inhabit the land.
Now the sketchy news...
I have always mistrusted gaming developers,with the new era of KS/CFunding it is very easy to exploit people even if they have their own private investors.OR the whole intent was to secure enough interest to use as bait in getting investors,either way the gamer is being exploited.How would any gamer know if these devs had a secure investor right from day 1 but chose to take advantage of KS'rs and get some free money?
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
there wont really be npc maybe some animals down the road its all player driven they are providing the tools
Suzie and the gang actually fake all these crowdfunded MMORPGs to create news stories to generate clicks. Chris Roberts died 7 years ago, Mark Jacobs works at your local TJ Maxx, and all the screenshots and hype videos shared around here are painstakingly hand-crafted by Bill and Tim Eisen for the "news" articles on the site.
What is it really, besides an attempt to build a better EVE?
I'm fine with.it, but most people don't care for open universe PvP games, not fantasy based either.
