A Small Progress Report
Due to recent criticism on the forums regarding a lack of updates to non-preorders Sykoi has given me the go ahead to release a small progress report concerning TLAW.
Jay who is our lead programmer is currently working on implementing a fully functional sky. This will allow us to continue forward into the weather aspects of the game. However its crunch time at his work, and so his progress hasn’t been as great as he wishes.
Wes who used to do programming for us in the past has returned, he is currently working on memory allocation.
I didn’t get to talk to Martian, who is our network programmer, but from what I know in previous conversations he’s currently fixing and updating our old server code.
Aidamina is currently focusing on college for the next few weeks (finals), though he has been researching cluster management systems, which is pretty much a network between multiple computers that will allow us to run different parts of the game on different computers.
The modeling team is currently working on a secret! We’ve modeled quite a few models that we’re withholding until the next beta where hopefully we’ll be able to add them in for some pretty impressive screenshots. In the mean time I’ve attached a small render. (It was going to be a different picture, but I deleted my copy and its 4am in Europe. So you'll have to do with this untextured render.)
Sykoi is currently on personal leave, but only for the next few days. When he returns we will be adding in some plug-in to the forums that will post a new news thread for every new update we put here on the site.
Most of the team is currently enrolled in college, April is generally finals week, so progress this month has been slightly slow (thus the lack of updates) but the summer should see a boost in activity.
And just because we are in need of programmers feel free to look at our help needed section.
Also favorite our youtube video!
So stay tuned.
