Commander,
The week of February 2-6 brought a major milestone as we welcomed our first wave of alpha testers from the community.
Mission Development
Unity Developer Dustin Weitkunat continued polishing the single-player campaign demo this week, though time was limited due to other duties. He addressed numerous graphical bugs and thanks to this effort, we successfully onboarded 10+ alpha testers from our Discord server. Community testing has officially begun.
Ship Construction & Media Production
The art team continued full speed ahead. Nyx completed all modeling activities on his current ship… UV unwrapping and textures await next week. Brian continued building out lore videos and artwork as needed for the demo push.
Literary Progress & Alpha Coordination
Daniel reached 55,000 words on Decision Point, the final novel in The Iron Fleet (on which SCOS is based). He also supported testing efforts by bringing in the first wave of alpha testers. He will now coordinates these efforts with the team to ensure the highest priority bugs are tackled first and perform triage on all incoming bug reports/feature requests.
Community Testing Live
Your fellow commanders are now testing the demo. Their feedback will help us polish and prepare as we push forward.
SCOS continues onward to demo release. We can’t wait to get it into your hands.
