DEVBLOG 027 - Welcome to Mission EVO!
Hello again! I am Zed, head of the Mission EVO Dev Team. Today I am very excited to share some important news and progress about Mission EVO, which will interest many of you.
Mission EVO
Yes, it is not a typo, it is the new official name of EVO. Originally, "Project EVO" was a temporary code name for the game in the Closed Beta stage. The reason we called it "EVO" is based on the idea of EVOlution. Players start with nothing and keep evolving during the session. Additionally, we hope our game keeps evolving with players' preferences as well. With Open Beta starting, our game is moving to the last stage before Global Launch. Therefore, we decided to activate our official name from today, which is "Mission EVO: Survivor’s Battlegrounds". However, you can still call it "Mission EVO".
Mission EVO isn't a random name that we just came up with. "Mission EVO" actually stands for the mission that every player takes in the game, which is to get as much Ember as you can in Emberland. We do have a lot of options for the mission name, but we all agree Mission EVO is the best. Since we believe community is the most important part of our game and "EVO" is our common memory with the community.
What's the future plan of Mission EVO
After over 6 months of Closed Beta, we have developed Mission EVO into a more stable state that can accommodate more players. However, as I mentioned last year, Mission EVO is a game with a very deep level of gameplay, and optimizing it to the best state is not an easy task. Currently, we still have several bugs that need to be fixed and gameplay tweaks that need to be made. Therefore, we will continue to polish and test the game in an Open Beta state on Android. We will try our best to polish Mission EVO and conduct a Global Launch within 2023, in order to embrace more players from all over the world.
Recently, I have noticed that many players are concerned about our iOS version development progress. Actually, we have a completed iOS development schedule, but currently, all developers are developing the new patch content and fixing bugs. When the Android version satisfies the Global Launch requirement, we will start the iOS development plan immediately. You have my word, you will play Mission EVO on both Android and iOS for Global Launch.
By the way, we will update Beta 2.0 on 10th May, which is a big update. You will challenge the new roaming boss called Armored Chopper, start a new journey in solo mode and there is a lot of new gameplay to try. Please keep following up with our socials. We will release more details about Beta 2.0 soon.
It's time to announce our global publisher - Nuverse
With the start of Open Beta, I think it is a good opportunity to introduce our global publisher - Nuverse to you. Actually, we have worked with them for a while already.
Nuverse is a global mobile game publisher that is highly professional and reliable. Last year, their cooperation with Second Dinner and Marvel Entertainment was impressive. Marvel SNAP won the Best Mobile Game of the Year at The Game Awards. It is a good sign as winning the award is one of our goals as well XD.
Many thanks to our community
The date we first showed Project EVO to players was 27th April 2022. We have received over 1 million players' love within a year. From Alpha to Open Beta, we have witnessed many milestones for EVO. We have built a warm and strong EVO community together.
Special thanks to our Volunteer Translators (L10N Heroes), Fandom Wiki Team, Regional Socials Mod Team, Discord Mod Team, all CEP Members, and all Beta Testers. The community can't get this milestone without all of you. You are the heroes of the Mission EVO community.
Many thanks for your love and support to the Mission EVO community. See you in Beta 2.0!
With Much Love,
Mission EVO Dev Team Lead

But i think 1 week session is not enough for exploring and crafting as casual player. It cinsumes too much time to loot and craft. Only basic items can be easily crafted, And other stuff needs a lot of loot and different kind of loot. Just completed my new versions session, it took me whole week to collect essential things but unfortunately, its gone. After a lot of boring looting on same place again and again. Well, you can get good loot at level 2 places or port tackson. But single handedly people cant loot that much. I dont think this game shows much promising as battleground plus survive in deserted land among rottens. Yeah, graphics are pretty amazing with environment sound.
