Alpha Update!

We realize everyone is very excited about the Alpha release of Atom Universe; we are just as excited to bring Atom Universe to you! Over the next few days we will be sending out emails to those backers that qualify to participate in the Alpha; each backer will have the choice to participate either, on PC through Steam or on PS4 through the PlayStation Network. We will be releasing the Alpha in stages; the first stage will be the release of the PC version through Steam. The next stage will be the release of the PS4 version, which we expect to have ready soon. If you are a qualified backer, once you have replied to our email notifying us of your choice, you will receive a key code to allow you access. *Only one Key Code per backer donation.
If you are participating in this Alpha, we urge you to please keep in mind that an Alpha is a testing stage, not a fully working game, so there will be many issues, bugs and problems we will need to work through together. We just ask for your patience, and assistance in helping us improve Atom Universe by reporting any issues on our Atom Universe forums at www.atomuniverse.net.
We would like the community to understand that game development at this early stage is complicated and there can be unanticipated and unforeseen issues that lead to creating delays in the process. We are working hard to make AU a high quality game for the community.
Thank you all for your understanding. We’re all on this creative journey together and whilst there may be some unexpected bumps and delays, we cannot wait to show you how far we’ve come.

PhyroBomb On Atom Universe


PhyroBomb, out of Firenze, Italy is one example of many musicians around the globe that will have their music highlighted in Atom Universe. This young EDM band has an amazing sound, just listen to "Polarity" on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/dj-rol3x-…/polarity-ft-nathan-brumley, it is a favorite! Get your dancing shoes ready!



(We realize people enjoy different styles of music and there will be many genre's featured in Atom Universe. If you have suggestions for other musicians or genre's you would like to see featured, please post at AtomUniverse.net.)

When Will the Game Be Out? Why Not on PS4?

We know our community is excited for the Beta release of Atom Universe, and we are often being asked when Atom Universe will be out on PS4; and why is it being released on PC first, not PS4?
Let us try to explain the two (PS4 and PC) different methods of introduction; one requires release through a corporation with strict standards and a quality assurance process, and the other is through a mostly unregulated entity. In order to release a game through Steam on PC there has to be enough interest in the game for acceptance by Steam. On the other hand, when submitting a game to PSN for release it has to go through a rigorous quality assurance (QA) process before they will allow its release on PS4, which is often not a quick process. During the QA process, the game goes back-and-forth between Sony and the developer, and is ongoing until both parties are satisfied with the outcome. This can take an undetermined amount of time.
In addition, QA processing is independent for SCEA and SCEE, because each entity have different criteria for the QA process. Unfortunately, there is no set period for how long it will take to go through and finish the QA process, which in the end leaves us unable to provide a release date for the game on PS4.
We assure you we are working hard to get both the PC and PS4 version out to everyone as quickly as possible. Currently we are in alpha testing for the PC version of Atom Universe and we will have a closed beta on PC within the next few weeks. Our hopes are to get the game through the Sony QA process and do the same on PS4 at some point within the next few months. We should have the closed beta out very shortly on PC through Steam for those community members that have donated to us at the Atom Evangelist level that allows them to participate in the Beta for Atom Universe.
