-THE PAST:

ZolarKeth and I accomplished a LOT over the summer, and we developed Apocalypse Rising into an awesome game for the Roblox community to enjoy.

Toward the end of the summer, we reached Roblox's limit by expanding the universe of Apocalypse Rising. Many players were unable to load the massive map, and crashed upon joining. (This still happens with some players) In response, we reduced the size of the map so that these players could enjoy the game again.



-THE PRESENT:

Essentially, Apocalypse Rising isn't even in it's full form at the moment. About 30% of the original "v3.0.0" map has been removed, and since ZolarKeth and I focused on making it playable again, we were unable to implement a LOT of features we originally wanted to. Thing like Journal pages and wall writings that would have shed some light on who Trinity Corp is, were never implemented.



-THE FUTURE

However, the learning season is upon us.

We do not currently have the time to fully focus on Apocalypse Rising. Despite the fact that every journal page and scrap of lore we planned to add isn't even in the game, we just can't do it right now.

In the future, we WILL add more features to the game, and there WILL be updates. We even plan to return that 30% of the map back... But Roblox's limitations are preventing us from doing this at the moment.

So, the plan is to start tackling new features and content AFTER Roblox makes a few updates. It's confirmed that the brick limit for games will increase exponentially over the next month or so. By the time it does, we will have time to add lots of features that our fans have been dying for.


Some features we plan to add in the future include:

Vehicles (And the ability to repair and use them)
Foliage (Bushes, logs, and other natural forms of cover)
Rubble (Car wrecks, scrap, garbage, and other man-made forms of debris)
Journals (Pages, storylines, and wall writing that explain some things within the game)
More Weapons (New guns and variants of current guns)


So, it's only a matter of time before ZolarKeth and I can sit down and start working on these great features. But first, Roblox needs to do their part. We're excited to be responsible for Apocalypse Rising and it's success, and we plan to exceed expectations in the approaching future.

Thanks,
Gus

I look forward to more debris and "terrain" to make the map feel more life-like and have that actual feeling of apocalypse.

I would also like to see:
Elevation changes.
Some sort of "mountain" type of terrain feature on the map.

I am glad that apocalypse rising would be taking a step into epicness, I would love to see some leaked images or maybe a part of the map that you allow players to roam even if its for a amount of time. Either way i am glad that you have posted this information up, and for the vehicles. It will be great to have better ways of transport! But thing is will there be restrictions? For example do oyu have to stick to roads? Can oyu run people over? Or do oyu have ot get out and shoot? We as players need to know these things! Not demandingly but, I believe we have to know a bit more about the things we are using. As for the map, 30% will be back, HOORAH! BUT, will it be the same 30% we lost? Us that have high powered computers already know that land, will it be an advantage? Maybe not, can it be used as an advantage? YES! Maybe a different 30%? Or the same map with new areas? Another thing I want to suggest, More underground areas! The bunker was AMAZING! Due to the fact you can go underground was phenominal people roared with amazement at it! Maybe we can add sewers or tunnels? Instead of roads or foilage you can travel in narrow passages, that may be safer, OR more dangerous than the surface. That is all I have to comment for now, I will try to keep in touch with Zolarketh because I know Gus may be getting alot of attention since he is the place "owner" as ROBLOX claims. I will be talking about the updates to come and maybe suggestions I believe you might like, but I would like more ways for travel, cars or tunnels it would be a great idea!

I am sorry for the double post, but will the cars have a passenger limit? If so what is the average, assuming oyu have different cars, muscle cars, trucks, SUV's. it will bring variety. And the foliage would be better for bandits, keeping oyur more pvp promise? That is all I can think of in a 3-10 minute span, expect more, I am a big fan.

A more real transportation will be a Bike. And Journals. Please. Make Writable Books to keep track of your days. Like you could skip days of what you've done like. You start writing on Day 1 and do not write again until Day 4. Also make it to where you can sleep. You can still be killed but it's better if you could sleep in the game. That'll make Teammates more common.











For now Rock on!-OddXman

What will the sleep offer? Surely it wouldnt be food gain? And dont even speak of energy, it would be a horrible idea, I liek the idea of sleeping, more realistic but get your facts straight! What will it offer the players? "Umm what should we add to the game?", Gus says,"how about a sleep option that makes you vulnerable and does nothing!", says Zolarketh. That would be HORRIBLE!

Sounds good, sounds good.

My first thought about this game was,

:/. Its kind of like a baseplate with houses on it.
It was missing the detail, but was still fun. This oughta make it a much better experience.

these plans sound perfect! maybe some stronger zombies and some slower ones so they dont ALL look and act the same as for terrain i do think there should be some mountains/hills and (as a small plan) maybe at the airfeilds some driveable planes so we could use them some helicopters or even plane crashes thisgame has gotten me back into the building/survival spirit it has actualy made me make more games... all post-appocalypse games have the same thing i am currently maing "Last stand:Day 1-Jan. 13th 2013" as a small what we thought would happen game...the game does not mean that i think this will happen or it willl not happen...in fact i doubt that the appocalypse will come within my lifetime...

It'd add more speed. Say that your Sleep limit is low. Your walkspeed slowly decreases. And by the time you find it you start to pass out. Basically it adds your stamina more. I'd think that being faster besides the cardio perk would be better. Well that's basically it.

I hope he plans on making the vehicles require everything it does in the actual game, including fueling them, repairing them [Wheels, Engine, Windshield, etc.] And different variants. I also want to see the helicopter, that would just make my day.

also make trinity like umbrella from resident evil. Then u could also make the bunker bugger like under ground have 5 rooms in stead of 3 and have journals spawn there also maybe like hero skin. or like a hero thing like if u kill 3 bandits u get a base ball cap and a blue shirt or add a base ball cap to the spawn. that is all i have to add also THE ROCKET LUANCHER.
