Current Project Status

a new race always requires a lot of time, especially cause we have quite a fist full of ideas for the "old" ones too

Optec, are you guys still bumping your heads against the arbitrary six-race limit that the engine has (If I'm rememberimg correctly; it's been what, four years since it came up last?), or have you found a workaround?

the race limit still exists in the multiplayer game setup screen. i haven't invested too much time trying to solve that issue as there is currently a lot more important stuff to do.

Do you think that some form of campaign can be released soon?

soon? no the focus is still on multiplayer. we'd like to do a campaign at some point, but that has low priority.

On a related question, what things are high and low priority in general, and for 3.13 in particular? Dodeca rebalances, rework or warp-in, etc? Inquiring minds want to know

Balance is always very important - but you will most likely just have to wait until 3.1.3 to see what was most important   . Lots of things are worked on at one time, and what makes it in on a particular patch is a different story

I have a question, which of the three "Upcoming" races is closest to finish? Maybe we could have one of them pushed into distribution by 3.3.0.

Am I to naggy? I seem to be nagging a lot.

I don't think any of them are coming until 4.0, however I believe the noxter have the most work finished.  Atleast they have had the most updates.  I am not sure they have even started to put them ingame.

Most updates??? at the moment i believe that is one lol.

If no one else is updated, one is still the most.

At least they have the gameplay aspect down tbh that can be the most challenging part.

Any Updates? I thought you guys wanted to keep us informed more often

  C'mon, guys, throw us some bones. I don't care when is ready the next patch, I just wanna some newsposts from time to time.

i'd rather they spend their time making new patches instead of making posts about the new patches.

Well since i honestly dont think it takes that much time to do posts about what features are upcomming, i think some updates would be nice

Missed quite a few things there too  Of course, if anybody is ever interested in what Optec has said directly, that person can go directly through the post list
