Game Translation

Translation of Vendetta Online into other languages has been a constant request for many years, and we're now much closer to reaching that goal.

We recently debuted a new "Beta" translation of the game client, along with most early missions, into nineteen languages. This translation drastically expands on our previous releases.

Support includes: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Hindi, Bengali and Arabic.

This is still an "imperfect" Beta, and it does not yet include all missions. We have around 350,000 words of content, much of which has to continue being updated as the game evolves. This is a huge undertaking, but with this milestone we've come a bit closer to global accessibility.

Persistent Events

"Persistent Events" are a new form of in-game "Mission" that is slowly beginning to appear in the game. This is probably the most significant gameplay advancement in many years.

These are constructed in the PCC mission editor, just like regular missions, but will instead "spawn" at a particular place and time and have no associated player, only the NPCs or content they create. They do not appear in the regular Mission System.

These Events can spawn other Events, allowing large and complex content to be spawned dynamically, and reactively based on player activity. This can be anything from a single rare NPC taking a few minutes, to a galaxy-wide invasion spanning months.

They can also appear on the Nav map, including advertising where they can be found in advance. This is still an active area of development, and while currently rare in the production game, will begin to appear more commonly in the coming year.

This system underpins our plans for areas of next-generation gameplay that have been our goal for a very long time. We're very excited for what it will deliver.

Other Changes

We've released 44 major patches over the past year, with far more updates that can be easily put in this newsletter. But here are a few high spots..

TV Support: You can now play on a Chromecast or GoogleTV device with only a remote control. We don't claim it's a fully-featured experience, but it was intensely requested. (Using a game controller is still a better idea).

VR Improvements: We now support Meta (Oculus) Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro. More information on the Meta Store.

Capship Enhancements: Improved "Follow" mode, improved missile turret aim, turrets can be added to weapon groups with other weapons, and more.

New User Experience: This is still in testing on limited platforms, but we're working on a streamlined and simplified onboarding experience for new players. Expect it more broadly in the coming year.

On a Related Note.. The Cargo Tractor Beam has been improved, HUD now shows the contents of crates picked up, docking is easier under high-ping scenarios, etc.

Mobile Improvements: A new "Third Person Improved" camera mode has been added. It will become the default on mobile soon, after further testing, due to high demand.

Emerging Hardware: Improved support for Nintendo Switch Pro controllers, as well as Razer Chroma and Razer Sensa HD Haptics.

Networking Enhancements: We spent a lot of time on this, improving game synchronization under difficult network conditions, it should make things better for everyone.

Linux Updates: XRandR resolution detection improvements, fixes for other issues. Steam Deck support is still in Beta, but development is on-going.

PvP: Duelling players are now automatically marked as enemies for the duration of the duel.

Missions: Dozens of new and updated, custom-made missions.
