Development Highlights for the Week of 10/15/06
(A highlight of all that occured over the past week)
Hello to all in our fantastic Ascension community and welcome to our very first weekly highlight! The Ascension highlights is something that we are planning to do weekly, per your request. What we'll be doing in the highlights are mentioning some of the threads we've been paying particular attention to (and think you should, too!), and let you all know what's been going on with Ascension. It's something that's been requested for a while, and we're sorry it's taken so long to bring that to you – but we're certainly happen we can start to do so now. We plan to evolve our weekly highlights as things progress, and we may also announce some things that are time sensitive in here, so be sure to keep up or you might miss out ;-) Welcomes We're always getting a steady influx of relatively new people as well as lurkers. Sometimes those lurkers end up finally giving in and take a more active role within the Ascension community... and we love it when that happens. Since this is the first week, our welcome list would be far too long, but we'd like to specifically welcome some people who recently joined our community and have been active, such as HardDrive (whoring it up in IRC, nice, very nice), Axelay, Decoy, Danderson, nappingcracker, and dargonkingme (in IRC). We hope that all of you in the community will continue to give us feedback, comments, suggestions, and most of all help us grow our community to make Ascension as great as can be. Community Threads What threads have we been watching over? What threads have we been discussing? What threads are 'hot hot hot'? Repair Kits Client Scripts Solution Graphical Detail on Player Models The Game This week our engine coders spent a lot of time merging a recent onslaught of bug fixes into our engine. We also have the initial version of our command map currently working in game now. While it's no where near the quality we want, we've got it functional in game and will now be able to perfect accordingly. There's been a slew of cleanup that's been going on on the script front that's been helping to squash some bugs found in this past weeks test night. In addition, we've now got another one of our vehicles in game! The Graphics Here are a few screen shots for the week (one, two, and three), oh, and a really snazzy wallpaper that looks fantastic as the wallpaper for my laptop. We also made an improvement to an earlier released one. Note: The wallpapers will be updated with the high-res versions within the day. If you have any suggestions of things we could add, or comments on how to make our weekly highlights better, don't hesitate to let us know either by private message through the forums, or through chatting it up with us on IRC. Actually, you should come chat with us on IRC anyways

Excellent guys. This is a great idea. The weekly highlight format looks good so far.
I remember when i was watching the T:V developement they had a "percentage complete" displayed in the screenshots. Is there any way something like that can be incorporated into the weekly highlight? Not a big deal, just wondering.

But seriously, we have discussed this somewhat - you can see some numbers and make guesses from those, but it is very hard for us to give a percentage because it wouldn't necessarily relate to time-to-finish. Another problem is that we keep changing stuff when better ideas come along - hence no % progress (though there is progress). Keep firing away with ideas for this as we will be trying to improve it.

Thanks for the Update. This will be very nice indeed.
How about a set of Ascension IM Icons! Not that I use IM (other than X-Fire), but it might be nice for people that do and a way to get the word out a bit more. Thanks again for all the work you guys are doing to make this game. Faithful

seriously, I think the current format is great, a podcast would be perfect it seems *hey, maybe you should date your screenshots, so people can at least know which images are recent and which ones are years old etc.

Could you make the wallpaper in different sizes, say 800x600 or 1024x768 etc.

an update and Im mentioned
 a podcast would be really cool but I know that those can be difficult to maintain personally Im just happy to see that your doing some kind of update, Im one of those "lurkers" you mentioned who had been on the sidelines for several months before getting involved in the forums. I didnt see any updates for over a month and I wondered if you were even still working on the game. Even if you dont show any new media its nice to post somewhere other than the forums to show people that your still working I know what the answer is going to be before I even ask it but it would be really nice to get some sort of timeline for the release. Next 3 months? Next 6 months? Next year? It would be nice to know

Consiquently to the podcast comment. EWo is currently working on starting a podcast. They're going to have their first ep up soon, of which RWX will also be in. As things progress here, we will certainly see about trying to be a regular on their podcast- especially if you are all that interested. What kind of stuff would you want to hear?

Nice guys, I have been really busy lately and haven't stopped by in awhile, so this was just the type of thread I needed to catch back up. The game is looking sweeter every time you post new screenies!
