Gepan 1273 Posted September 24, 2023 Zenyte 2 - Blog #9 Revision Upgrade Hello All, I'd like to seize this opportunity to share some insights with the community regarding our plans for the revision upgrade and the thought process that led us to this decision. Let me take a moment to provide some context. In our gaming world, a "revision" is akin to a version of the game. Currently, we find ourselves at revision 179 (2019), while the live game, Old School Runescape, has advanced to revision 216, soon to reach 217 (2023). This substantial gap represents several years of continuous content updates. Just as we are sure you do, our development team envisions Zenyte flourishing as a game capable of offering the latest content, stepping out of the 2019 era. However, it's vital to understand that while we're upgrading the revision, the actual coding of new content remains a separate task. Think of this revision upgrade as enhancing our underlying infrastructure, enabling us to code fresh content rather than directly delivering it to you. Numerous hours will be dedicated by every member of our Development Team behind the scenes to ensure that once the revision upgrade is finalized, the game will continue to function as you've always experienced. Yet, this leads us to an exceptionally significant subject, quite possibly the most crucial aspect of this announcement. Mobile. Mobile functionality has played a crucial role in our game since its launch, with approximately 20% of our player base engaging with it in various ways. At present, there is no one providing the latest revisions with mobile capabilities that match the standards we've set, both in our game and in OSRS. While there have been whispers of upcoming releases that aim to emulate this functionality, it's worth noting that these versions may come with limitations on FPS (frames per second). Our intention is to proceed with the revision upgrade, even though the status of mobile integration may not be fully resolved. We plan to reassess this matter after the revision is complete. We've decided to dedicate a substantial amount of funds towards research and development for this endeavor. However, it's important to acknowledge that the exact timeframe for its completion remains uncertain at this point. In my estimation, a reasonable estimate would be a period of at least two months or more. I recognize that the initial loss of mobile functionality might seem disappointing, but I kindly urge each of you to take a moment to review the OSRS updates from 2019 up to the present and consider the myriad possibilities this upgrade will unlock for the entire game. Thanks, "This may be a game, but it's real people with real emotions.
