ComPet Release Schedule and Prioritisation

ComPet Release Schedule and Prioritisation

Cross-platform Trading
A major part of ComPet concept is the “cross-platform” trading aspect that makes ComPet so unique. This feature is currently in development both in Entropia Universe and ComPet. Until this feature has been fully implemented, it is not economically practical to engage in our planned full- scale marketing campaign to promote ComPet.

iOS Release
Release of ComPet on iOS is in its final phase and should be available shortly.

Affiliate/Referral System
Together with the upcoming marketing campaign, an affiliate/referral system will be available for ComPet account holders to promote ComPet themselves. This is another important stage to complete in order to maximise the impact of ComPet marketing.

Language Support
It is essential for us to add additional language support for our worldwide users.

eSports and Tournaments
Tournament and eSports functionality is currently in development which should widen the audience and appeal of ComPet.

Additional Development
Here are some additional key development tasks that must be implemented in order to create an exciting worldwide battle app game with cross-platform trading connected to the Entropia Universe real-cash economy:

General conversion and retention optimization
Daily tasks/missions
Discounts and offers
Strongboxes
Trinkets/buff items
Balance fine tuning

ComPet Revenue System
The revenue payment system will be implemented after the most important of the tasks detailed above have been completed and their associated processes are working correctly. Deed revenues are currently being accumulated and payments will begin once ComPet is fully functional.

Compet Bulletin #7

In the previous ComPet bulletin we talked about player versus player pet battles. While the PVP pet battles are a central feature of ComPet, there are also many other cool features! In this ComPet bulletin we will take a look at the City Management feature.

Concept of the stables, which allow you to view and manage your pets.

City Management

Every ComPet player will have their own city to manage, where various useful structures can be built. The structures will for example offer the ability to recruit new pets, train existing pets, generate resources, and gain access to various other features and content.

The city itself and the buildings within can be upgraded in order to access new functions and pet bonuses. The city is also the main user interface from which most of your activities in ComPet originate.

ComPet will offer an exciting raid feature, where players can attack the cities of other ComPet players and pet battle them for their resources. Of course, this means defending your own city from attacks will be an important part of a successful strategy in ComPet!

Olivia, the ComPet app guide.

We are also very happy to introduce Olivia, the ComPet in-game assistant!

When ComPet is launched, Olivia will guide you through the game, providing you with information and advice when you need it.

You and your pet screenshot contest awards

The "You and your pet screenshot contest" has received many exciting contributions from places all over Entropia Universe and we would like to start with sending a big Thank You to all participants for their individual contributions.

The job of the jury was to single out 4 images based on creativity and overall aesthetics and we are glad that we have found 4 contributions that not only matches these criteria but also shows the diversity of Entropia Universe with very different avatar styles and from four distinct locations.

Here are the winners in place 1-4:

1:st place goes to avatar Magnus Svarog Henriksen for his exotic screenshot from the Corinth area in the northwest part of Eudoria. The image manages to capture the close affection between the avatar and his ancient Exarosaur pet on a sunset beach in a way that simply made our jaws drop.

2:nd place is awarded to avatar Roslyn Kaz Farstar for the lava-hot picture of her flame throwing Chirin Dragon pet and a spectacularly well timed sci-fi fashionista-look swordplay pose.

3:rd place takes us to a jungle setting where avatar Alaina Bonnie Knight at first might see a bit out of place in her not so khaki colored and outback-fitted clothing. The image composition with a dancing Eudorian Devil pet and high contrasts in color still manages to capture the feeling that your Avatar can be anything you want inside Entropia and that your pet of choice really can enhance that experience.

From exotic to lava-hot and jungle settings, 4:th place takes us to the rocky mountains of Thule where avatar SpikE SpikE Odets is playing with his Corinthian Kanin in the snow on a mountain peak as the sun paints the landscape in a spectacularly warm and welcoming color scheme. The extra rabbit ears also gives this image a subtle and yet playful tone.

We wish all the winners the very best and hope that you will have much fun with your new rare pets.

As we have received many more talented, fun and exciting contributions that is worthy of notice 6 additional runner-up prizes in the form of Pet name-tags will be awarded. The avatars that will receive these honorary Pet name-tags are:

Una Griph Alconbury

True slimpek Hunter

Ea Aia Nou

Lola Ulpuana Lola

David Hoek Liode

Milton Osga Hastings

Interplanetary Pet Selling Business

With pets coming back into Entropia Universe I have new idea for business in the game. Not that there aren’t shops that sell pets in the game, but my idea is to have shop on every planet and sell pets from every planet, different rarities and 2 or 3 levels. Probably lvl 1, lvl 7 (you can spawn it on foreign planets at lvl 7) and lvl 20 or something.

I won’t get rich but I will make few dollars that way and also have reason to travel to every planet. I can play a month on planet Calypso taming and training pets then Planet Arkadia then planet Cyrene. That way I will get fresh animals for sale and also restock my shop while I am on the planet.

And with that travel I can also do some of the new space transport missions when they are implemented in the game. Killing 2 rabbits with 1 shot as they say.

In the shop I can also sale whips needed to tame new pets, brushes to make them happy, nutrio bars to feed them and petting outfits if you want to look as an animal tamer. Last month I probably gave more than 100$ for food for my pets, so there are money to be made selling nutrio bars.

3 new pets on Planet Calypso

I was just preparing myself to go to planet Cyrene to train my Arret pet when planet Calypso introduced 3 new pets that look very cool, so I had to fly there, buy them and train them at least to level 7, so I can use them on every planet. Eudorian Devil is probably my new favorite pet. But lets see how he behaves first.

Eudorian Devil

Chirin Dragon

Corinthian Kanin

And can you believe it there are also rare version of the pets. For Example Rare Sapphire Chirin Dragon:
