We've been quiet for a while on Cortex as a huge amount of stuff is happening behind the scenes.
Here's what we're currently working on:
- Main bug list
- Making and implementing GUI assets for single player
- Additional "hologram" player armour
- Variable player faces
- Single player story mode narrative content
- In-game character-specific text content
We've recently completed:
- Single player "story mode" structure, gameplay implementation and early balance pass
- Single and multiplayer league mode structure, options and GUI stuff (this was a mammoth task)
A lot of this stuff will be wrapped up into a large update for the beta: no specific timeframe on that yet.
Here's a sneaky bit of concept art which gives away some team and character names in the single player: http://imgur.com/8lQu28Z
Also a screenshot showing off randomly generated "greebles" and circuits on blocks, plus block combination that makes the playfield look a lot nicer: http://i.imgur.com/istETnQ.jpg
Thanks for sticking with the game - we like to update slowly and in big chunks which I know can be annoying. There's a lot happening though and I hope you like this new stuff when it's released into the beta.
