Cybrex Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This is more directed to Nyz, our fearless community manager. While myself, and everyone else here understands that DU is very early in its development, is there any chance we can receive a bi-weekly, if not monthly development update? Can be formal or informal if you ask me, it would just be neat to be able to track where DUs development is. - Lego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NQ-Nyzaltar Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Haha, we hear you (not just me, but the team too! ). Well... Here are one good and one bad news on the topic: First the bad news. Okay, probably not as bad as it could be, but not the best you can expect either: While we make constant and regular progress there are still too many low-level features we can't discuss in detail for now. And if it's just to say - for example - "Hey! we are working on the planetary engine, including spherical gravitational field and procedural generation of landscape right now!" for several months, this is not enough content to call it "Community Updates". At some point, yes, we definitely want to make community updates. But this won't be any time soon (don't expect next month). Now the good news. We don't want to keep the community completely in the dark, even this early in the project. What we are currently working on is to publish a list of all suggestions/ideas posted on the forum since its opening, and give a clear answer from the team for each of them. The status for each suggestion/idea will be either: Already done Already in progress Planned for Alpha phase Planned for Beta phase Planned for official release Planned for post-release Still unsure to plan it at some point Not planned at all for specific reasons (which will be explained if necessary) Expect this list to be published either in September or October Best regards, Nyzaltar.

This makes me moist. Works for me! Not like anyone has any room to complain regardless. Anything we get is great by itself, considering how early the development is period. The fact you guys keep such steady contact with your current community is applause worthy anyways. - Lego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hello Nyzaltar, Maybe, you could keep a bullet point list (on the forum or on the site) with core/extra functionnalities you have planned and theire status : done, ongoing, todo (or your status list was even better) ? Regards, Shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQ-Nyzaltar Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hello Nyzaltar, Maybe, you could keep a bullet point list (on the forum or on the site) with core/extra functionnalities you have planned and theire status : done, ongoing, todo (or your status list was even better) ? Regards, Shadow This is more or less what was planned: Having a topic on the forum, under the form of a bullet point list or a table, to keep things clear for everyone. It should be released next week or the one after Best regards, Nyzaltar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
