OPSUM: A review of the Western Sahara 1.1 Update



EVALUATION

Marhaba, and welcome, Arma 3 players!

My name is Stefan Keßner, and I am the project lead of The Rotators’ Western Sahara CDLC. As most of you are probably already aware, we have released our 1.1 content update on September 27, 2022. While offering a fair amount of tweaks and bug fixes, it also almost doubles the amount of playable content that came with our initial release back in November, 2021! Today I would like to offer a little insight on our thoughts and intentions when working on this update over the past couple months.

SITUATION
Wow, another year has flown by since we last provided an official status update on Arma 3's Live Ops development. And that also means we're celebrating the game's 9th anniversary this month. 9 years since the release of 1.0 "Gamma", let that sink in! Even more special is the fact that a lot of new players are still joining the ranks. Welcome to you all! We hope you enjoy the vast amount of content available to you, official and from the community alike. You may not know this, but we used to publish these blogs every single week during prime-time development. Things have slowed down, as we've discussed in our preview reports, but the platform is still supported by a small crew. There have continued to be platform updates and many experimental branch releases. And the Creator DLC program is still seeing plenty of activity too. In the broader Armaverse, much has happened of course. The Enfusion era of Arma was started with the early access release of Arma Reforger. Many of Bohemia's developers are working on those projects now, working very hard to stabilize and expand that young platform. In this report we will try to provide a status update on how Arma 3's development was influenced, if at all. Read on and see you in-game!
