Novark

I found a couple of interesting ones in the last year:-
 
* Wolf and Spice: The economic discussions are fun. The Wolf character: First the translation is ve to English is very good as the articulation is very strong and the voice-actress is sincerely superlative conveying the wit, poise and sass of the character. I usually prefer listening in Japanese with English subtitles so this says quite a lot about how much I enjoyed the language in this one.
* Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below: The animation quality mainly an the imagery are all very arresting amd very high quality.
* Wolf Children: The story is charming about kids obviously with a fantasy twist, simple tales like this often work best I find.
* The Girl Who Leapt Through Time: Again the every-day-setting with solid animation of ordinary things, very satisfying.
* The Garden of Words: Felt the most satisfying visually and in terms of temp and pace: A small vignette of a story that could be one of those invisible stories that happens all the time.
 
I often find most anime tends to lose it's form and structure either story and/or aesthetic rules. So these above felt a bit like shining stars by comparison.
 
Alone or Lonely? One would tend to choose to be alone as opposed to ending up lonely. I prefer to be alone for example after dealing with large number of people, in a day!

Not today Mr.Mods

Chill bro, it's only 2 persons

Hi everyone,
 
The email with the link to download the client will be sent as soon as possible.
We will keep you informed on this topic. We know you are all eager to test the game.
We apologize for the delay.
  If you are worried about whether or not your account is set for the Pre-Alpha, here are the three possible situations:
  If your gold backer status (or above) isn't displayed on your profile page on the community portal: 
This means you are a Kickstarter backer and you might have forgot to fill the Kickstarter survey form or something went wrong with the information you gave in the survey. If you are in this case, please contact the support and state your email address linked to your Dual Universe account and  that your backer status isn't displayed on your profile page on the Community Portal. You can join the support here:
https://support.dualthegame.com/hc/en-us
  If your gold backer status (or above) is displayed on your profile page on the community portal, but not on the forum:
Your account is already set to download the client. However, you don't have access to the Pre-Alpha forum section yet.
This means you have to log at least once on the forum, or sign off / sign in again. After that, you will have to wait the next update transferring eligible accounts from the group "Member" to the group "Pre-Alpha tester". We will run several updates today to leave nobody behind, but you will probably have to wait a bit.
  If your gold backer status (or above) is displayed on your profile page on the community portal and on the forum:
Your account is all set. You should be able to download the client, as well as having access to the Pre-Alpha forum section (if you have logged on the forum before this topic has been posted.)
  Reminder: this is a Pre-Alpha. See it as a preliminary test for massively multiplayer interaction (first time with potentially more than 2,500 players) and not as a representative final game experience yet. There is a high chance that no progress will be saved and Blueprint mechanics are deactivated for the time being as they are being reworked. Thank you for your understanding.  
Best Regards,
The Novaquark team.

Due to i have some spare time to write, so here we go 
 
It's been a year since i discovered Dual Universe from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016. NovaQuark used a very simple teaser for their game debut.
 
 
There are some people that starting to express their scepticism about it, & at some point my self also feel the same ... just trying to be honest, the teaser looks a bit dull & i expect more information from it.
But i realize that NQ just started their debut which is quite reasonable for me. Even though the said trailer looks pretty half baked, but it said this game will be a fully editable world with single shard server.
That is actually a pretty damn interesting thing, i feel like i wanted to know more about DU and then i came to the forum.
 
I kinda surprised that there was not so many dudes here at that time. It only have few sub forums, but the discussion runs pretty well.
One thing that i found was the dedication of the developer to make all of this happen. Suddenly i changed my mind, my scepticism was gone, the only thing that left was "okay, i will be part of this"
 
Few months later they added new features, the Organizations. Everything grow so fast, there are more people came into DU and starting to build their own Organization, which is awesome.
Few moment later they announced their Kickstarter Campaign, at some point the scepticism came back because of what happened on the other game with the same genre. But it didn't enough to stop me to both support & taking the risk by became Backer.
 
After the Kickstarter campaign ends, they expand the crowdfunding program via the community page following by a constant updated that they showed to us every month about the development progress.
& They started to expand the forums by adding more sub. More people started to pop out here at forums even though the game is kinda still under the radar, i see a lot's of excitement from each of them both developers & the players. I love to read all of their question & ideas about this game.
 

 
It's been a year since the Kickstarter campaign start, and DU succeed to collect funds & survived from black hole that hit the space genre very hard.
Big thanks to everyone for the contribution. At this moment, the only thing that i can say is "Can't wait to see you guys at the Pre-Alpha!"
 
I hope the next year will be even better and so on 

Can't believe that the ship texture become more more more polished !
I just kinda hard to believe, this is too awesome
Looks like the kickstarter funds really go into the right place, worth it !
 
Can't wait to meet you guys in-game !

Hi everyone,
 
As some participants are quite new on the forum, I'm going to make a reminder (I didn't have enough time yesterday and I apologize for that).

The forum shouldn't be used for public accusations (even if they are true). It's clearly stated in the forum rules here (III-e).
If you have a problem with some other community members, you can:
 
Contact the Novaquark team (contact either the CMs by private message or the Customer Support team by mail at support@novaquark.com) if you think someone has broken some rules on the forum or the Community Poral (Community Portal rules can be found here).
  If some rules have been broken on another platform, please discuss with the Admin/moderators of this platform, instead of using the official forum.
  Starting throwing insults at each other is not ok. Some posts have been archived yesterday without giving any warning points but if this escalates, we will start to give some. Again the forum rules ask you to remain polite (even toward people you don't like) if you want to use the official forum.  
As this thread contains nothing constructive, it's going to be locked.
Thank you for your understanding.
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.
 

Hi ZipSnipe and welcome on the official Dual Universe forum!

You haven't anything to pay for that.
It's just that you can't reply to any topic until your account has been validated (it has just been done, so you should be able to reply to any topic now).
 
Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

Same here !
Also welcome 

Hi everyone, 
 
Well, it seems some people never learn.
Thinking that it's now ok to generate trouble on the forum after being refund is exactly the kind of toxic behavior that we won't let slide.
We gave a last chance that has gone to waste, obviously.
Please don't feed the troll when you see one.

Best Regards,
Nyzaltar.

Don't worry i will want with patient! 

Don't worry i will want with patient! 

Came across this interview posted on JC's Twitter this morning:
 
 
 
 
Currently working on getting a transcription/translation together, but it won't be ready for a day or so. 
 
 
 
 

Hi everyone,
 
Just a short message here to emphasis/remind the fact that using fake accounts on a big scale to inflate artificially the size (hence the visibility) of an Organization, especially when the Organization founder(s) is/are aware of this and let it go (or is a part of the problem), this can lead to the Organization deletion. This won't prevent the involved people to recreate their organization, but if this abuse (use of fake accounts) is done by the same person(s) again, the sanction will escalate.
 
Best Regards
Nyzaltar.
 

Yup, i also think the same
The Dev diary will continue even the game already released, because NQ still developing the game for the future
 
Also, can't wait for the next diary! i need more space flight videos 

Hi everyone,
 
A reminder seems needed on this topic:
 
- An account is strictly personal.
- You can only use the accounts for which you are the rightful owner.
- You can't lend or share your account(s) with anyone else (even a friend or a member of your family). No exception will be taken into account.
- Accessing to an account that isn't rightfully yours is strictly prohibited.
- If someone asks or harasses you to give your authentication information to him/her, do not comply to his/her request.
- If someone harass you for such a thing, please inform the CMs by private message and/or contact the support team at support@novaquark.com.
 
The consequences of sharing an account:
- The security of your account is breached and if something wrong happens on your account, you lose the right to ask the help of the support team.
- If the person with which you have shared your account has committed infractions, the sanctions can be applied to your account as well, even if you didn't commited the infraction yourself but your account has helped in anyway to commit the infraction.
 
Please keep in mind these very important points.
Thank you for your understanding.
 
Best Regards,
The Novaquark Team.
 

I'm not an active user at reddit since that page was blocked here in Indonesia, but i still barely give some visit by using VPN.
Just realized that there was a big problem in the DU subreddit, i can't say much about it but i hope the communities can solve this as soon as possible, because the community itself is the most important thing !
 
I will take a look at the r/dualthegame next time  

The last time I brought this up, the person in question was quick to show up here to try and defend themselves for leaving the subreddit in such a poor shape, but as of now that person has been suspended from Reddit and the subreddit has once again become neglected (could have predicted that...)
 
So, again, I am posting this to point people towards the better subreddit -> https://www.reddit.com/r/dualthegame/  (I'm not a mod there)
 
The other one was seemingly completely abandoned, with a 10-day old Reddit account currently "in charge" of it and a bot account put in to keep people from trying to request it from /r/redditrequest. 
 
 
 
Why am I bringing this up, again?
 
Because the success of Dual Universe depends entirely on the community and the way that it is reflected in various forms around the gaming world. It's hard to argue that Reddit doesn't have an impact on games, and there are plenty of vibrant Reddit Gaming communities out there that interact back and forth with devs and give the impression that their games are healthy (full of players) and still active.
 
If a random user were to come across /r/dualuniverse, they'd see months old posts sitting around, a completely unresponsive mod team, and a sidebar that to this day is full of incorrect information (the old mod refused to remove No Man's Sky as a related subreddit, for example). 
 
That's a disappointment because of the work that the /r/dualthegame mods put into making their subreddit active and accurate, yet because one person buried their head in the sand and refused to lift a finger for their subreddit, /r/dualuniverse is going to continue to get more traffic and subscribers regardless of how bad it is. 
 
 
So why post this? 
 
Because if we want DU to survive into the future, and to continue growing and be seen as an active community, we should do our part to continue directing people to what is the best reflection on it (and /r/dualuniverse is not it).
 
So if you're on Reddit, or you know Redditors who are into Dual Universe, point them towards /r/dualthegame. 
 
 
 
And to the person responsible for the mess that is /r/dualuniverse, you should feel ashamed of yourself for leaving this stain on the community. Plenty of people reached out to you asking you to fix the subreddit, instead you wanted to feel this imaginary power over the community, refused to do anything about the mess you left, spread a bunch of misinformation about me on the subreddit and discord, and then got yourself suspended from Reddit leaving the subreddit in the condition that it's in now. 
 
 
 
 

This is a bit random, but I just discovered it tonight.
 
Turns out that animated gifs work as profile pictures, and as profile backgrounds!
 
There's still the file size limit, which excludes a lot of options, but I found one I liked. 

I want to watch the uncut version when space traveling from the moon to planet Alioth 

I would love to interact with Aliens on both Primitive and Modern culture and also i'd like some of them are Friendly and some are Hostile
