Greetings citizens!
This week's Progress Watch will be shorter than usual, as I'm on holidays. Let's start with CIG's statement for this update :
The team has been making steady progress in completing the various systems. Some of the larger systems like Render to Texture, which contributes to our screens and mobiGlas and will ultimately contribute to ship to ship comms, have been implemented enough for the teams to start using them, that extensive use has been exposing some of the bugs which has caused some additional delays. On the plus side, the delayed proposed release date has allowed some of the ship and weapon refactors that were intended for a future release to be added to the 3.0.0.
3.0.0 Progress Watch
This week, there is a lot of discrepancies between the texts and the images, and even between sections. I did my best to merge what I could, but expect some inconsistencies.
We start with gameplay. The "Inventory System Gamecode Engineering" is still waiting on UI and follows its delays.
In Core Tech, the Entity Owner Manager has been delayed by another week.
UI as usual has the most of the delay, with an additionnal week for 3 features : Item 2.0 MFDs, Cargo Manifest App and Inventory System App.
The "Mission System AI" is still getting worked on to include more mission possibilities and therefore is delayed by another week too.
The "Render to Texture" system from the Graphics team is under heavy debugging, as it's now used everywhere in the game and therefore showing a few problems. This adds another 2 weeks to the 4 added in the previous update. It's now the critical path's head with a deadline at 2017-08-10.
As CIG stated, new content has been added to 3.0.0 that was originally planned for 3.1.0 :
- RSI Aurora Rework, due for 2017-07-21
- Arclight Pistol Rework, already completed
- L86 Pistol Rework, due for 2017-07-28
- Behring P4-AR Rework, due for 2017-07-19
This reopens the "Ships & Weapons" category which was the first to be closed.
Finally, we have 3 completed tasks this week.
- Rover and Dragonfly in Ships (Gameplay) - Check out this week's ATV to see what it looks like!
- Personal Manager App (UI)
- Arclight Pistol Rework (Ships & Weapons)
Global Progress Watch : on sunday (probably)
See you next week!
PSA : I'm still on holidays next week, so the update may also be delayed.
