Hey guys,
I'm sure some of you have heard of the bushfire crisis in Australia, it's been ravaging for months with no real end in sight and it has now gotten to the point where I have been personally affected too. I've been moving around a bit too and trying my best to keep in contact with relatives as I am deeply concerned about them.
I have no doubt though that this will just be another challenge on my development journey, a challenge that I'll overcome but I am just writing this to let you guys know of the current situation.
As an obligation to remain transparent to all my fellow players, if for some reason you guys don't hear from me just assume that I have been evacuated and that I do not have stable access to the internet. I understand that it is these types of situations that make players wary of solo developers but rest assured that I am still 100% committed to the development of my game.
With the release of the world map update to the public build there has been an influx of feedback and activity on the forums and I am extremely grateful for all the support. I am going to let it stew for a couple weeks and continue to gather more feedback, so please let me know what you think and what can be improved as I am taking it all down.
Right now the majority of my time is spent on weapon modelling with the freelance modeler. I know this might not make sense initially but please remember that freelancers come and go so I need to prioritize the work with them when they are available. Work with this particular freelancer has been extremely challenging but I am determined to see it through.
The goal for these next couple of months is to continue working on the world map, overhauling the armor system and to start implementing the weapon models into the game. Thanks again for all the support in 2019 and looking forward to 2020.
Cheers,
Kevin.
