Work in Progress
Hello!
We hope all is well, commander. We’ll keep it brief in today’s round-up post, but many good things are coming to Steel Division 2, including the upcoming Steel Division 2: Men of Steel expansion.
So what are we working on?
[h2]Work in Progress[/h2]
Quite a few features are cooking in the Eugen’s kitchen. The following ones we are actively working on in Steel Division 2: Men of Steel.
Dialogue and Translations
We are recording the acknowledgments for the expansion, while some are already being done, such as the new U.S. and Canadian special forces dialogues. Others still need to go through the voice-acting pipeline.
As a matter of fact, we are checking suitable voice actors for French-Moroccan and “full” Moroccan (for Groupement Dody Montagnards and Goumiers troops specifically), as well as Dutch voice actors (both Axis Landstorm collaborators and Allied fighter pilots).
The following goes out to our players, but we need some help with Bulgarian dialogue due to the lack of a military-versed translator. We have a Bulgarian translation of the script, but we are looking for someone knowledgeable enough to proofread it. We want to ensure it’s 100% a-okay before we record it. If, by any chance, within the Steel Division 2 community, there is a Bulgarian native-speaker who would like to step up to give us a hand… the Eugen team would be most appreciative!
Models and Infantry
All the 3D models have been done and integrated (except for one unannounced unit, which we managed to add at the last minute). In the meantime, our artists are occupied with the painstaking job of reskinning all the existing models used by the Bulgaria battlegroup.
On top of this is another lengthy task: creating infantry profile pictures. This one is also ongoing, with much to be done still.
Traits
All the new Traits coming to Steel Division 2: Men of Steel are finished and being implemented as we speak. Traits will apply to all units, when and where applicable (so not only those brought new by the expansion).
The icons for Traits are also being completed, following the same format as those found in WARNO. A few of them are newly designed. This means there is more commonality, making it easier for players of either game to jump into the other title! The Traits themselves are being tested, fine-tuning their effects where needed (such as AoE range, optics values, etc.)
[h2]Action Against Hunger Charity Event[/h2]
Don’t forget, the Action Against Hunger charity event is happening this weekend! By playing Steel Division 2 and WARNO in a competitive setting, you’ll be able to support the funraise effort for the Action Against Hunger charity.
The charity tournament event will take place on the 27th and 28th of May. The first day, the 27th, will be dedicated to Steel Division 2, while the 28th of May will be all about WARNO.
You can sign up for the tournament by following this link: https://playsdl.com/tournament/4th-SDL-charity-tourney.
