Monthly Development Update November 2024

November has been an incredible month for Warped Games and the future of the Warped Universe. We’ve had major updates on all sides, from business to branding and game development.

Officially partnering with Mysten Labs, the organization behind the Sui network, means we’ll have full access to their massive suite of development tools as well as direct communication with engineering and marketing support. We will be working closely with their teams to make sure that we utilize the advantages offered by the Sui network for both our game and community.

Huge leaps in progress have been made on the game development front with the team setting their focus on designing and integrating original assets into procedurally generated maps and missions.

Another highlight for us was to have an exclusive trailer shown during the 2024 GAM3S.GG GAM3Awards, seen by over 200,000 people around the world!
