Yar, maties,

The next week is non-stop focus for the Grapeshot team on preparations for the Early Access release!!! Sorry that we'll be rather uncommunicative here over the next 6 days, as we're going to be heads-down intensively focused on making sure everything is in place for the launch. After the initial launch, we'll be all over the Steam forums here and also on the official forums that will then launch at www.playatlas.com . We want to answer every question and idea you may have, most of what you're all talking about is in game already, and is so fun. I wish we could respond to it all right now, but then we wouldn't be getting the bits of work done on all the remaining pieces we want to pack in there before the launch. So in a week's time, we'll see you in the ATLAS and on the forums, and all your questions will be answered in-game and in-person. I'm super excited for it, I think we have something very special here and personally it's the game I've always wanted to make :-)

One question I'll leave you with at the moment: you gonna go with the hanging noose, the gibbet, or the guillotine?

Keep pirating,
Jeremy

P.S. Here are some screenshots, we'll be releasing a new one every day up to the launch:

I have to say, this looks genuinely incredible. I've played Ark recently, and it's very fun with friends - if this is like that at the start of Early Access, then you'll have one hell of a game on your hands at the end of it. Good luck!

And to answer your question - the hanging noose, of course...

[Naviss]

I'm excited to see where Atlas goes from the foundation of Ark. I bought and played Ark days after it's EA release.
Though that game changed greatly from what it originally was. I'll still support WildCard/Grapeseed? on this new adventure.

Still I sit here left with many questions. And worries.

its so good to see a developer in the discussions , please jeremy please make this game as you described it in the store page and in the trailers , low amount of bugs and crashes , and optimize it, i will gladly pay 60$ but for a decent game please man i always wanted a sea of thieves mmo

[SupaNinja]

Can't wait to see how massive this game really is, especially with everyone all in the same map!

How many Devs are working on this game directly?

Also are their no community managers? ZERO communication a week before launch is kind of weird and a little shady?

I think Jat has gone over to Grapeshot with Jeremy and Jesse. Looks like he's their lead community manager: https://twitter.com/Jatheish

i'm looking for loads of information on this dev team and the game.

Bringing a massive group from Dark and Light. Snail Games USA self sabotaged that game by having an incredibly small dev team and not investing. sort of jaded from that.

This is worrisome for many players including me, no communication and yet a new ambitious MMORPG announced for the upcoming week like WTF ? Not reassuring at all and similar on the form to most Early Access scams that I witnessed in the past few years.

I hope to be wrong because I also want a good and fresh MMO but the way things are handled here is just unprofessional at best.

Right, only one trailer and yet it's going to be sold next week with a huge lack of transparency.

I will dive right in. if it's cash grab that's on me because of the obvious signs of it possibly being that. No other games out there are interesting (RIP Dark and Light you will be missed)

Yeah, Snail hasn't really managed a lot with their ARK spin-offs, unfortunately.

Wild Card posted a bit more about the new-ish dev team:
"Jeremy and Jesse here! You might have noticed the announcement today of a new MMO game called ATLAS developed by a sister team of Studio Wildcard, named Grapeshot Games. Jesse and Jeremy together are now leading the development of ATLAS at Grapeshot, while continuing to creatively supervise the direction of ARK. Grapeshot itself is comprised of some original ARK team members as well as many new hires and operates as a separate dedicated dev team"

Here's the link: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/articles.html/a-message-from-studio-wildcard-r1047/

The announcement was rather sudden though...

[RΔY]

Dark and Light Team sucked at communication, let's see how these guys do.

I wish the best for this game I remember playing hours upon hours of gameplay on ark, i had gone through some rough patches on ark but I hope this new game brings as much fun as ark originally did and hopefully for longer also. best wishes.
