February 2023 Report — Unreal Engine 5

Development highlights for the months of September 2022 -- February 2023.

2023 Development Update.

Greetings everyone! The February report is here, loaded with updates. This report will provide information on the latest enhancements added to the game and give you a glimpse into what we have been working on over the past few months.

Unreal Engine 4 --> UE5 Upgrade

We are pleased to announce that our latest update is set to be released on February 22nd and will be available for public testing. We have been working hard to deliver a superior gaming experience using the latest Unreal Engine 5 technology. Unfortunately, our server provider, GameSparks, discontinued their servers last year, causing some setbacks in our progress. However, we are making great strides and are almost there. This is the biggest update the game has experienced in over a year, and porting a game from UE4 to UE5 is a complex process. But it's a necessary step that will allow us to leverage the latest engine technology to our advantage. In addition to rebuilding our servers, we are thrilled to announce the integration of Two New Game Modes and a host of fresh features.

PVP Cave Mining Operation Gamemode

In this New Game Mode, two teams will fight to gather as much crystal energy as possible, but they must be prepared as their opponents will stop at nothing to come out on top.

Join forces with your friends in teams of three, either on PC or VR, and embark on a thrilling adventure deep inside a crystal-filled cave. The first team to mine their set of crystals wins, but be prepared for intense combat as both teams race to gather the valuable gems. Explore the cave and discover the lost technology of the Dwarves, left behind after a goblin invasion. Use the powerful Dwarven laser mining cart to defend your team and emerge victorious.

Bongo Competitive Gamemode

Up next, we introduce Bongo - In this game mode, up to 4 PC players and 1 VR player join forces to reach the top of the leaderboard in an unending spiraling tower.

In Bongo VR players take the lead from the center of the map, collecting valuable items, battling foes, and supporting their PC teammates. Meanwhile, PC players navigate through never-ending platforming challenges, gathering loot and fighting enemies as they progress up the tower. The Platform System in Bongo is unique, with randomized effects that can help or harm your progress, the difficulty increases as you survive, with new obstacles and enemies appearing along the way. Death is not the end in Bongo; use the coins you've collected to upgrade your weapons, armor, skills, and abilities in the lobby above the tournament tower and see how you stack up against other players on the global leaderboard.

The Architect Campaign

This is our special Singleplayer/CO-OP experience that will come with the game, geared towards a more casual audience of VR enthusiasts. We will release more information about this in the coming months.

Youtube Development Vlogs & More Game Content

We plan to release some CradleofSins Development Vlogs to give our audience an in-depth look into the development process.

Game Environment Development Process.

As we get closer to launch, we will release more marketing materials to promote the project. Right now, it's more important to polish the game as much as possible before releasing a lot of marketing material.

$COS Presale & Launch

We have always said that our plan is to launch the game very close to the coin itself, for the best launch possible for both. Our goal is to finish both in Q2 2023, and we have no plans to change this. However, the Presale & Launch Date is not yet announced as we want to make sure the game is ready before committing to an official date.
