- Forsaken Universe Announcement 3/5/2023 - 6 March 2023
Forsaken Universe Announcement 3/5/2023 What's the holdup! Hey everyone! First off I am going to personally apologize for disappearing for the last three months. College got a little bit hard. So with that, I am very sorry! Buttttttt, that doesn't mean I haven't been working on Forsaken Universe! The new update, Early Access 1.0, is coming along very smoothly!

- Forsaken Universe Announcement 12/29/2022 - 29 December 2022
Forsaken Universe Announcement 12/29/2022 Let's Begin Hey there everyone! Just wanted to say thank you for your time and patience. With Christmas just happening and the new year coming about, I personally wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Now, Forsaken Universe hasn't seen an update in well, over a year and that is something I don't like. I got very busy with sports and college and had a hard time my first few semesters. My third semester came along and I finally found time to work on the game as I became acclimated to college life. With that being said, I wanted to make this announcement to inform you all about the new update! The Update With no update to the game in over a year, I am very excited to say that the update will be happening in Early or Mid January! There is still a lot of work to do for the game to prepare for it! I am very excited to bring this update…
- Forsaken Universe Update 11/17/2022 - 17 November 2022
Hey there you all! With college and now basketball taking up a lot of my time, I haven't had much to work on Forsaken Universe. However, that shouldn't be a problem anymore. I have freed up a lot of my time with schooling as I have finished up 2 out of my 4 classes already. This will leave time to start working harder on the game! We have a lot of different things planned for this new release of Forsaken Universe, here is just a small list of what to be expected. - 5 above-ground biomes. - 3 below-ground biomes. - Over 40 crafting recipes. - Over 30 character upgrades. - 10 unique weapons to defend yourself from the monsters. - 8 unique creatures with custom AI. Sounds like just a basic survival game but after that release, there will be constant updates. We will release a dev branch of the game for everyone to play. Those dev branches can contain either weekly or every other week updat…
- Forsaken Universe Update 4/28/2022 - 28 April 2022
Hello everyone! We would just like to create this small announcement. I'm a college student developing this game in my free time. However, the college classes have taken up a LOT of my time. I have been working on Forsaken Universe for about an hour every week with college classes. I get done with my semester in about two weeks and will start to work more on the game! As of now, Forsaken Universe uses Unreal Engine 4 as of right now. I am going to be upgrading the game engine to Unreal Engine 5. This will allow me to have a lot more optimization as well as a bigger open world. The next update that Forsaken Universe has will not be told as it's unknown. We hope in at least 1-2 months but could be longer. Hopefully, you all understand that college is taking up most of my time. But, we thank you for playing and being a part of this community!
- Forsaken Universe is Coming Back! - 11 August 2021
Hello everyone! We have this huge announcement that a lot of you may not have expected! Forsaken Universe is coming back! We have found an old save that fully works and just doesn't have that many updates. We have been updating that old save to get it back to its updated state! The game is back up for sale! However, what you download will be the old game. We are still working on the new one and are very excited to bring it to you! There will be a future announcement once it is updated! We are glad to be back and hope to see a lot of you in the game!
- Forsaken Universe News 4/21/2021 - 21 April 2021
Forsaken Universe News 4/21/2021 This is a quick announcement on what is happening. Unfortunately, I have lost all data to the game while upgrading my game engine. I have no idea why this has happened as it didn't happen to anyone else before. 9-10 months of development down the drain. I started this project to give those players a fun and unique survival game to play. I also wanted to learn a lot more about other things than just game development. This includes sound, graphical design, creatures, etc etc. As I am the only developer of this game. I have requested to retire the game as I won't be able to spend 10 more months coding a new game with college starting up soon. I just won't have time. With this being said. Refunds will be possible. Thank you for coming on this journey with us! We are sorry to bring you the news.
- Announcement! Early Access 1.0.7 - 18 February 2021
Announcement! First thing, the announcement. Multiplayer will NOT be coming to the game for a while! There is localhost multiplayer which you can play the story or the regular map. If you play the story, there will be bugs with it! We will not test the story on multiplayer until we have got most of the story created. Maybe, once the official release is out, there will be official servers, but that won't be for a while. We want to focus on the story and a lot of game mechanics. This update took a while due to all the bug fixes that we have added, as well as got the background for dedicated servers working. Thank you all for playing Forsaken Universe!

Thank you all for playing Forsaken Universe! Let's continue to grow as a community! This update is all over, added, removed, updates, and fixed things. Overall, very successful with this update. I will no longer provide updates every day! Instead. I will update every week on the default playable branch. However, there is a developmental branch you can access on steam! That is where we will provide updates when we think it's suited(most likely every day or every other day). This is so that we and the community can test things and leave feedback about them. As you can see, the story is starting to be developed. The story is partially fully complete in a separate document. However, since this is early access, the story can and most likely will change!
