Hey everyone!
Welcome back and Happy New Year! This year will be a very exciting year for Planet S as we will try to reach version 1.0 in the first half of this year! We dont have a lot of new stuff to talk about but we do want to give you an update on the roadmap.
Roadmap:
Here is a look at the current roadmap:
The important and sad news is that we have to delay the military update to the end of this month. The main reason for that is that we just didnt get as much done as we thought we would during the last two weeks and we are very sorry for that. The core features of the update are already working really well but we want to do more testing, balancing and implement additional quality of life features related to the new features.
Tldr: We are a bit behind schedule.
Current state:
QoL and Bug fixes from last SotG:
Not much has changed since the last SotG as we have focused on working on the next update (and because of the holidays):
- FOV slider in the options menu - Shipped with 0.3.6
- Part 2 of 3 of our transition to a new and improved text system - Shipped with 0.3.7
Big TODOs:
- New text system - Currently in the works.
- Rework and upgrade of the Tutorial system - We plan to ship this either with the Military Update or in a seperate update after that
- Modding support (No ETA for that yet)
- Terraforming (No ETA for that yet)
- (Multiple star systems) - Maybe after Early Access
Quality of life:
Here is a list of QoL changes that are in the works or on our TODO list:
- Markers or other visual improvements to help identify the poles of the planet you are on
- Spaceships that are constructed by the spaceship yard spawn in each other
- Ability to click hold and drag a building to a different location to make moving a building easier
Bugs:
- There are still a couple types of desyncs that can happen and we are continuing to investigate and fixing those
That is it for this months SotG! Let us know your thoughts on all the stuff we talked about and sorry again for the delay of the next update.
Thanks for playing!
