Conclusion

Hello, friends! Our work on the Project Genom continues. Today we have good news for all the players. During the upcoming week, we plan to transfer the PTS version of the game to a separate branch of the main servers. We do this to ensure that the project’s PTS version will be smoothly moved to the main servers and the main branch. Everything will be set up exactly as the test servers before: all players with access to Project Genom will be able to enter a parallel branch in Steam using the following password:. No website registrations, additional marks to check, authorizations, phone calls and messages. Anyone who wants to see the PTS version in its current form will be able to give it a try in the coming days.We will certainly notify you once the parallel server branch is open.At the moment, our priority is to prepare the project and transfer it to the main servers. As part of this task, our team continues to expand all the quest-related features, adjust the in-game balance and fix all found bugs.We also have good news for all players who’ve been waiting for the French localization: more than 71% of the game texts have been already translated into French. Our good friend and constant project supporter Yury Kirylka also known as Yukinochi, helps us with this strenuous task. We express our special gratitude for such help and contribution to the overall development. Thank you!In addition, this week we’ve:Last week our team has successfully implemented the updated world map.We’ve also set up the landscape LODs and added them into the game.Last week we started working on the 3D maps for different dungeons.

Finally, we came close to updating the main servers — an event we’ve been waiting for more than a year due to the complete and revision of the project. Further development of the game will be entirely aimed at expanding the gaming capabilities so that in the shortest time possible, Project Genom could enter the Beta phase and become a full-fledged MMORPG.We’d also like to remind you that at the moment the main work on the project is done on the PTS servers. We’ll transfer the updated project to the main server. Now all players who want to see that the project is moving forward have an opportunity to take part in PTS testing. To take part in the test, you must have an activated copy of the game and follow the registration as described on this page:And, once again, we want to remind everyone considering purchasing the game that it’s still in itsstage, and weit if you expect a full-fledged finished project. By purchasing the game now, you support the development and have an opportunity to see its early stages. If you want to enjoy a full game experience with the maximum number of game mechanics and no critical errors, we advise you to wait until the project enters the beta testing phase or even later.
