Hello once again everybody!
It is no secret we had actually planned to release the new patch today/tomorrow. However it's honestly just not ready for release yet, and we don't want to release something that's not working properly.
We have got the system working and we're right now working on adjusting it which sadly is quite time consuming! The reason for this is that before everything was built and integrated with the UNET networking (even the singleplayer campaign). Which means when changing to the dedicated server even the most fundamental things had to be changed.
At this point the first 3 campaign maps work, the matchmaking itself and the whole mechanic behind is also almost done. However the custom games don't since we have to program our own serverlist and a lot of other functionality.
We've been thinking of releasing a patch without the last campaign maps and the custom games and then add them shortly after (1-2 weeks). And would love to hear if you it that way.
The networking part won't of course be the only new thing to come with this patch! And we're happy to say that the in-game UI has been totally remade as well as the in-game menu and options:
Besides for our matchmaking we've added the posibility for the different armies to fight against each other across the different maps. This will hopefully lead to some engaging and fun matches!
At last as earlier stated we really want to hear you guys opinion about if we should release the "cut down" version with matchmaking and progression earlier or if you want to see a more complete patch with everything in it.
