New hire & new beta
After a diligent search for cost efficient talent, I've hired on a programmer who's now diving into the code headfirst! It will definitely take some time for him to get situated within the over 120,000 lines of code, but having some help is going to make a big difference!
I am still negotiating with a few other developers for other tasks, likely more short term, but this has brought up a lot of important new things for me to work on to make sure that our team can work together efficiently, how every many are working on the game at any given point, now that it's no longer a solo endeavor.
I am very much having us focus on bug fixes and performance for the foreseeable future. We want to make sure this ship is running as smooth as possible before we get back into expanding on both current systems and new.
I've also finished upgrading Mirror, the network solution that Solace Crafting uses, to the latest and greatest version. There were some bumps in a couple of beta patches over the past few days, but I think I've got everything sorted out.
More news to come shortly!
The latest beta patch notes are as follows:
v 1.0.0.9 2022.10.04
- Fixed static network objects not always positioning properly on clients past 8192m
v 1.0.0.8 2022.10.03
- Upgraded Mirror (network solution)
You may need to restart Steam for the update to begin, or you can verify file integrity to trigger it.
To opt into Beta you only need to go to your Steam Library, right-click on Solace Crafting, select Properties, click on the Beta tab, and opt-in to the beta.
