In the gameplay overview, JC Baillie showcased areas of the game developed entirely by players within the beta;Dual Universeis set in a continuous single-shard universe which allows players to fully edit the environment and “sculpt matter the way you want,” as Baillie said. The presentation included space stations and gigantic spaceships custom-made by players, and Baillie explained that not only are such structures craftable, but players can make blueprints and sell them using in-game currency to other players who wish to make them as well.
The presentation also included a brief look atDual Universe’s PvP mode, as well as methods of repairing damage to structures when PvP mode takes its toll on them. Customization inDual Universehas become so intricate that players have actually built playable mini-gamesintotheir structures, including pool tables that can be interacted with.
