Major Update Status
Hello Pilots & Commanders!
Just a quick status update on the upcoming Major update - The Marshall's End: All new features and important reworks are done and we are now in the process of balancing the difficulty and game progress along with some more bugfixing and minor changes.
Update preview should be deployed to the devbranch within 2 weeks, where it should stay at least for 1/2 weeks to test things out and fix all the issues we may find before its official release on the main branch. As always, we are looking forward to your feedback.
New features and reworks include (some of these already available on the devbranch):
P.S. We understand that updates haven't been going out as fast as both you and we would have hoped, for which we apologize. The simple reason is that due to the rather complex nature of the game (Cockpit part, Tacview RTS part, and now the Large Ship 3d-person part), we had to revisit fundamental inner workings of the project for everything to run smoothly.
However, as stated before, once this update comes out, all core systems that needed reworking will be done, which will allow us to make new content updates more frequently.
Thanks a lot for your patience and continuous support.
Daniel & Adam
