A Chorus Has Risen (SaintSovereign Journal)

We’re in the final stages of development. But don’t expect the first full fledged title any time soon. We’re going to take it slow. We haven’t decided on the first full fledged ZPU title, but I’m personally eyeballing GLM, since I’ve done some incredible work on it thus far.

Simple, focused but yet very powerful and foundational title. Sounds perfect for a first ZPU upgrade especially with the talk of eliminating recon, a title like GLM should be perfect

GLM has shaped up to be a fav of mine lately! Ever since I built it name-embedded with At the Top. I’ll be doing a GLM-only custom sometime with a few choice modules to help beef it up.

Personally, GLM and The beast within & the beast unleashed would be my top two choices for ZPU. Imagine the beast it would be.

You guys are going to love the new GLM. The biggest issue we’ve had with it is: “Why use GLM over something like Emperor?” Well, where we’re going with it is unprecedented, and it’s direction will immediately bleed into GLM: The Commander. One unified philosophy, yet two distinct expressions.

Also, with the new ZPU scripting, we could technically push Daredevil: True Social down to 10 - 12 minute loops. We MIGHT test it with the experimental, but if we see people trying to overexpose due to the lower time, we’ll have to push it back up to 15.

So at one point, our concern will only be overload. Recon will just be a small side effect at worst.
Exciting.

Will GLM be out in this season?

Fingers crossed people won’t be stupid.

You’re asking for the impossible.

Yeah, the murphy’s law is bound to happen, lol.
I hope not as many people will overexpose then.

@SaintSovereign who’s ever idea was it to come up with the Singularity’s Paradox custom module, is a genius and tell them I buying them dinner one day.

Jokes aside, glad to see you more active again.

I don’t know if this season will continue much longer. We’ve gotten what we needed from the experiment and are ready to return to the old method and start developing ZPU in earnest. But, GLM in some form will be out this year and if it isn’t in full ZPU, it’ll be released with a ZPU experimental.

Take a bow.

Does this mean that some of the future other upgrades will be in ZPU/ZPU experimental?

Oh new question: I know this is getting annoying but how’s the Competition vs. Theft stuff going? Has everything started to settle?

It does. :slight_smile:

Not every title. With this new “eureka,” it’s going to require some serious reconfiguration of the scripts, meaning if we did EVERY title with it, development time would increase by a large amount. With Daredevil: True Social, I had already planned on releasing an experimental with it, so now I just have to add the “eureka” scripting.

They canceled their launch. I’m not saying that’s an indicator of guilt, though, just stating a fact. Forgot to close the thread.

Ay! Let’s go. That’s good news. If they’ve cancelled their launch, are they still active on any form of creation? Hopefully not.

Damn how do you make me patient and impatient at the same damn time with upgrades :joy:

I could see the “Eureka” scripting being really good for foundational titles since eliminating recon at the very beginning should make the whole journey easier. Lol but I dont think any of us would be surprised if the big hitters like Khan, Emperor, Stark, Wanted got the upgrade, or even custom sub options

I would first like to finalize it before putting it in one of those. Stark and Wanted? … it’s a possibility. Wanted is probably a definite. But let’s not get too excited yet, remember – while we have the entire concept designed, we still need to nail the actual implementation. It does take ZPU in a slightly different direction as before, which means having to create new playbooks and the such.

However, I do want to point out that since I think we can filter this scripting through the NSE, that means any title that DOESN’T contain this scripting will perform as if it did, since the NSE operates like that.
