Development Update! Last week, we managed to get personal “Floats” up and running. This was a challenging milestone for RoS, but the results were well worth it.

Floats are the type of housing used in RoS. Much like the town of Nidaria, Floats reside in the upper atmosphere of Skystone, safe from the haze below. Floats are then grouped together into small Clusters.

Each Cluster represents a shared interest, or specific group of friends. All Floats of a specific Cluster are tethered to the Cluster’s hub, a sort of town square. You wont have to worry about Navigating around to different floats on your own, just use your map menu to browse or search for a specific float or cluster hub.

You can deck out your Float with furniture and spoils that you have accumulated over time. Although your Float initially only has one floor, additional floors can be added with the help of Cypress at the Housing Department. Each floor’s wallpaper, flooring, trim, can be customized. When adding a floor, you will have multiple footprints to choose from.

If you’re in your own float (and you have no visitors), you can click the “Edit Floor” button to take you to the easy-to-use Float Editor. You will have options to lock/unlock your doors, only allow friends, and/or kick out unwelcome guests. Your visitors will be able to rate your float based on your design skills, and at the end of the week, the player with the most popular float will be awarded with a traveling trophy.

We could go on and on about all the details on the Floats, but we will save that for later. Plus, we have to get back to work!
