What’s next after Heartstrong? RM in October and A Stark Reality in November? @SaintSovereign
We’ll try to let everyone know later this week after planning. @Fire has completed much of Khan Black, so that’s probably coming in October. Renaissance Man was my next priority. @Fire is also developing the plan for the Q Module Upgrade project.
Do you think we’re likely to see A Stark Reality this year or most likely next year? Would be a dream if it’s this year as I’ve been waiting for it for 4 years now haha @SaintSovereign
We want to upgrade all the older modules on the Q store, as well as get all the ESSENCES out. Since @Fire has always led the development of the modules, it will be his choice how this plays out.
Lemme get back to you. A Stark Reality is one of those titles that must hit the mark. An incredible amount of precision is necessary. We have multiple idea threads – which we have tracked, but we’re going to make a new official one in a bit, as these threads are extremely helpful, especially since people have started to become accustomed to ZPU.
Will Diamond be in the next badge?
Free upgrades of titles and modules, Q builder, qOS, New Support, and on and on we get these excellent services. I want to say thank you!
I suspect so. Easy upgrade.
I think. That’s why we have to do the planning sessions.
how’s the new LABS coming along?
@Fire is working on it. But keep in mind that he is dealing with the sudden loss of his father. It is a testament to the strength of his character that he has continued to work through all of this, while taking on a leadership role within his family, handling pretty much everything. I am not going to rush him for anything.
Is Khan slated for an upgrade or at least a tech upgarde anytime soon?
The more I run Khan, the more I see the value of a revamp and/or 5th stage or a reforged Khan.
Wowww this is new and really cool. How will this work once it’s all upgraded and I want my QTKS custom and my normal custom to have the upgraded versions. Would it be like a discounted rebuild or something? @SaintSovereign
@Fire will let everyone know. We gotta plan, lol. It’s in about an hour, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to give distinctive answers [EDIT: afterwards, we may need a few sessions.]
With regular customs, you can use the discounted rebuilds as always. With QTKS, we are still working on the upgrade pipeline.
Sounds good! Feel free to message me anytime if you want me to give feedback on what I hope A Stark Reality would have similar to what we did for EoG: True Sell. I have a whole bucket list lol @SaintSovereign
Sounds like a plan. I will rebuild both once the option becomes available. Probably do the QTKS when A Stark Reality is out tho.
Upgrade how exactly? To ZPU? Modifying the script and/or copy?
To ZPU standards, yes.
How’s the tech? We had any new advancements? Thunder mask etc?
UPDATE: The first of our big planning sessions is complete. The following details may change. We know everyone is waiting for their favorite title to be upgraded, and ZPU is quite stable. Because of this, we’ve shifted out of constant research mode (which we were in for years) and dedicating ourselves to upgrade. We’re going to try to maintain a pace of a minimum of two upgrades a month – one title led by myself, another led by @Fire.
That immediate lineup is:
- Heartsong (@SaintSovereign)
- Khan Black (@Fire)
- Renaissance Man (@SaintSovereign) – Idea Thread
- Ascended Mogul (@Fire) * – Idea Thread
- DIAMOND (@SaintSovereign) – Idea Thread
- Emperor Fitness (@Fire) – Idea Thread
- Emperor (@SaintSovereign) – Idea Thread
Regarding Ascended Mogul, we know Mogul hasn’t been updated yet to ZPU. @Fire chose to develop Ascended Mogul first for research and creative purposes – we want Ascended Mogul to be more than just “Ascension and Mogul” mashed together, and given the way he does his research, this works better for him.
I know people are going to ask about A Stark Reality and the such – those titles use Emperor as a base, and with Emperor Fitness, @Fire is going to really work hard on the physical shifting tech, which will go into the rest of the alpha titles, along with titles like Legacy of the Spartan. Emperor Fitness will also support the development of titles like Muay Thai Mastery X, Boxing Mastery X, etc.
This is why we are prioritizing those titles. DIAMOND’s development will support SMX, S&SX, all of those titles.
As for custom modules, we will try to give as much advance notification as we can, but yes – we are going to slow down on making new modules (other than the ESSENCES) and move toward upgrading modules to ZPU standards. You will be able to use the Discounted Rebuilds service to get those upgrades.
This will conclude Into the Wonder: The Road to Union (as ZPU is now here) and lead into Season 5, which is currently unnamed, but consider it “Into the Wonder, Part 2,” where will shift into the titles that best explores the theme – RoS, RoM, RoD, etc. as we finally have the tech ready to really do these titles justice. We will also schedule ASBR, etc.
The next planning meeting is next week, where we will focus solely on things like the official QTKS launch, QTKS rebuild service, the upgrade to the build forms on the Q site, LABS, additional masks (like the Thunder mask).
We know some will be happy, others will be frustrated – but we are dedicated to maximizing the value of your purchases and your stacks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, idea threads for all these titles are about to pop-up. Please contribute if you are interested in that title (outside of HS and KB). They are VERY, VERY helpful. We thank everyone who contributes to them on the regular.
