probably in a few weaks I honestly don't know but its coming out soon that's for sure.

 

[triggerhappyspaceman]

Yeah, there is this weird shadow bug with the tetras and pentas, is that being fixed? If not, could you look into it for a few minutes? I would really appreciate it.

be happy

 

[flpsantoss]

Almost 3 weeks now, can someone talk about what happened in this time of the development?

agreed what is going on with development!

At this exact moment we're doing lots of work ironing out huge masses of bugs and crashes from our [REDACTED] that we got just a few days ago. I'm sure that when they become stable enough to actually use normally they'll be out on the next public build.
The [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] is my favorite.

you know that the "REDACTED" bit almost of no importance right now? but schema says to much in another post that answer some of my questions already

Personally, my favorite is the cone-fire cannon... Sure it's weak, but it can scare the heck out of people who don't know the game well. It can also serve as a really nice doom weapon against swarmers, at a large scale. I'm excited for the Beam w/ Cannon combo (which apparently works like a phaser) colorable weapons too, though I have no idea when that's coming.

Wait, what? Where?

About the planets, would this shape : http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/polyhedron-models.html?m=Rhombicuboctahedron

be easier to implement, with squares and edges, instead of the pentagonal Dodecahedron?

I really don't know, I'm just curious ^^

Lol, that has a nice-looking net (and looks kinda fun to fold), but... no thanks. I'd rather keep the pentagons we have. :P

Do you work at the SCP Foundation or something? Also, is it going to be days, weeks or months? Or hard to tell, just SOON®?

It's not Soon(tm)... As best I can tell, it's "soon," without any trademark symbol.

Does that mean it's actually 'soon' or just...ah fuhgeddaboudit.

 

[Neon_42]

It's now been over a month since the last release. Anybody got news on progress being made?

Soon...without the trademark.

(the planets are done I think, but the dev wants to release the whole thing, weapons logic etc)

Oh it was just a honest question out of curiosity.

You've tried the dodeca-planets ? How big are they? :D

Kind of small, but they're supposed to (eventually >.>) be configurable in size. Which probably means that it won't happen for another two years. :p

Week or two? Perhaps three, if Schema randomly decides to stick in another feature again?

Have you checked the server.cfg?

Ugh... Sorry about the a$$hole assumption. It's just that I'm used to seeing features go to a point, then not quite get the "last thing on the list" (The NPC update comes to mind (General Lua scripting and the Fleet tab specifically)) that I stupidly assumed that the planets were't going to become configurable when this update comes around, and that it will take another "cycle" before Schema comes back around to making them that way... Either way, once I'm on my home computer I'll see how that setting works.


EDIT: Aside from strange border generation, doubling planet size works really nicely... The planets looks really nice at 350 mean size. The only problem is that the atmosphere doesn't scale, but I assume that visual work is the next thing on the list for the weapons and the planets.
