As we prepare for our summer release, the team is madly running around trying to finish stuff up. Given the recent outburst of forum posts about the game's progress, here's a quick summary of the work that's left to do.
Artwork: 87% done Level 3 animations and marine animations, one or two marine Structures, shotgun skin, welder skin, some weapon world models.
Business & legal: 90% done Purchase a few licenses, finalize trademark.
Coding: 92% done Many bug fixes, nicer projectiles, better software and D3D compatibility, record game, server performance, tutorial/help.
Design and balance: 95% done This will continue to evolve, but is essentially good enough as it is.
Maps: 93% done Level 5 alien movement issues, some lighting issues.
PR and community: 91% done Ability to handle increased traffic on site and forums, PR blitz, potential trailer.
Sound design: 95% done Voice-overs needed, a few minor sound tweaks.
World and manual: 80% done Online manual needs to be finished, and layed out.
Website: 85% done Update screenshots section, add a new introduction or other cinematic piece, potential facelift.
If you notice a lack of updates or screenshots, this is the reason. Please be patient as the team buckles down and tries to finish making the game you always wanted to play...
