Weekly Update #26

 

source link

 

Posted by I-NovaeKeith CEO & Cofounder

 

Hey everybody it's time for another weekly update. Over the last week we've primarily been fixing bugs that have popped up since the release of the last patch. There is an ongoing issue with our game server regularly crashing, which seems to be caused by our overhaul of physics, as well as some issues with the new patching system and launcher. We expect most of these to be sorted out soon. Aside from that Flavien has started working on the improvements we need to make to our networking code and I have started building our pledge upgrade platform along with some additional website improvements. Those of you who are regulars on our forums have probably noticed that we also upgraded our forums software to the latest version.

WIP texturing the bomber cockpit

On the art side we're happy to announce that texturing the interceptor cockpit has been more or less completed. There's some polish that will need to be added later on once we have time to address some graphics improvements. We also need to spend more time defining the functionality of the cockpits such as what gets rendered on the multi-function displays. In the meantime work has moved onto the bomber cockpit which as you can see is coming along nicely.

There's also a lot of work going on with station geometry and the NPC hauler. We hope to have some new screen shots within a couple of weeks. Along with numerous bug fixes our next patch, which is probably at least another week away from release, should include the land base placeholders and the new cockpits.

Weekly Update #27

Posted by I-NovaeKeith CEO & Cofounder

 

Time for that weekly update! For those of you who haven't noticed we updated our company website today (https://inovaestudios.com). This was the first step in building our new pledging platform. The biggest changes are in how logging in/out are handled as well as a skeleton framework for account management - which is where you'll go to upgrade your pledge(s) among other things. Login/logout on the Battlescape page is still using the old system which may not even work. It'll be properly updated soon.

In other news we're working on releasing another patch at the end of this next week. It'll primarily contain bug fixes but we're also planning on including the land base placeholders and possibly the factories as well. A small number of people are reporting issues with the new installer and another update for that will be forthcoming.

On the art front we're finishing up the materials for the bomber cockpit and the NPC hauler. Major gameplay iteration is still scheduled to begin early next month - the exact start date will depend on how quickly we finish the networking code improvements.

If they raise around another $200 K then another programmer might be added, and things like volumetric clouds will be added as per the original KS stretch goal, and more. More pledges between now and end of next year will mean more features at launch and soon after launch. Until that becomes possible the game needs more pledges. The dev's are working now on bringing pledges to the https://inovaestudios.com website soon. (Paypal support is planned)

Weekly Update #28

Posted by I-NovaeKeith CEO & Cofounder

 

Hey all time for another weekly update. When I announced last weekend that we were hoping to release the next patch this week I didn't realize that Flavien's new computer was arriving soon and it took him a couple of days to reinstall everything and transfer all of his data. Needless to say that meant we weren't able to finish everything for the patch but it's nearly ready. Alongside that our pledge upgrade system is coming along nicely. Accepting payments via credit card and/or Bitcoin is completed and all that remains is integrating PayPal. This also lays the foundation for being able to accept new pledges for the game directly from our website later on.

Initial material pass on the NPC hauler

 

c7bf611d6bc2cdc5a079750b11da4af0a11d6243

 

 

 

On the art side the big news is the release of new screen shots showing the initial material pass on the NPC hauler. There's still quite a bit of polish left to do but so far we're pretty pleased with the results. This is the first ship we're getting production ready so it's taken a bit longer as we've experimented with some new techniques and built up a library of reusable textures. Aside from that the finishing touches are getting put on the bomber cockpit and we'll be moving onto the corvette cockpit within a few days.

After the new pledging system is complete I'll be getting back to finishing up some outstanding issues with the launcher and new installer as well as adding support for incremental patching. Once the next patch is out Flavien will finish up his networking improvements and, as we've mentioned before, sometime next month the both of us should be hopping back onto iterating on core gameplay. That's all for this week!

Weekly Update #29

Posted by I-NovaeKeith CEO & Cofounder

 

Hey all it’s peanut butter weekly update time. During the last week work continued on what is quickly becoming Forever Patch 2.0. The reason for that is due to running into some unexpected problems with networking. Our networking code was originally conceived back in 2007 for the Infinity Combat Prototype. It has been left largely untouched since then whereas the rest of the engine has evolved quite a bit. For our Kickstarter, due to a lack of time, we threw everything together pretty quickly which meant a lot of our game logic ended up running on the client and we knew we’d have to pay a price for that later on. We figured it was a good tradeoff since we had no idea if our Kickstarter would succeed. Needless to say that bill has come due.

For those of you who either don’t know or don’t care about game networking allow me to summarize client-side game logic as being really, really bad. It makes the game easy for hackers to, well, hack and cause general unpleasantness for everyone but themselves. Obviously for a multiplayer game like Infinity: Battlescape this would be catastrophic so it’s of the utmost importance that we spend however much time is necessary to properly update our networking code.

Our pledge upgrade system is coming along nicely. Credit card, bitcoin, and PayPal payment integration is now complete. We have some additional work to do for processing chargebacks followed by a legal review of our pledge upgrade Terms of Service but after that we’ll be ready to roll it out. On the art side the bomber cockpit is finished and work has begun on the corvette cockpit. The NPC hauler continues to come together nicely and we should have some more screen shots of it over the coming weeks!

Weekly Update #30

 

source link

 

Posted by I-NovaeKeith CEO & Cofounder

 

Hey everyone time for another weekly update. This week we want to take some time to talk about scheduling. Our next release is Alpha which is currently scheduled for October 29th, 2016. The Alpha release is supposed to contain rough implementations for all major gameplay systems which includes networking, distribution, patching, UI, weapons, small-ship flight mechanics, capital ship flight mechanics, radar, intra-solar jumping, and resource management. At this moment in time many of these are partially implemented however a few of them haven’t been started yet.

You may recall that our deliverable to Developer Access backers at the beginning of the year was delayed by 2 months. If you go back through our January/February 2016 weekly updates you can read why. Full production started on February 1st and the Developer Access milestone was announced on February 28th. Back in February people were asking if the delay would affect the timeline for our Alpha release and while we knew it obviously would one way or another we decided to stick with the original timeline until we were absolutely sure we couldn’t hit it. Well, we now know we won’t be able to stick to our original timeline and release the Alpha on October 29th as we had planned. Instead we expect to release it sometime in early 2017.

The delay is primarily due to a lack of programmers and being unable to get as much gameplay implemented over the summer as we had hoped due to fixing up core systems like physics, networking, distribution, patching, and pledge upgrading. Fortunately, the work on those systems, which are all very important for providing a polished experience in the final game, is nearly complete and we’ll be getting back to iterating on gameplay soon. Our art team is also still on schedule cranking out quality content.

Let’s talk a little bit about financials. Our Kickstarter campaign raised $332,620 which is $32,620 over our minimum goal of $300k. After paying fees to Kickstarter of ~10% that left us with ~$300k to build the game – or exactly our minimum which meant that building the game was going to be a hard slog – something we were expecting when we launched the Kickstarter. Full production started on February 1st so we didn’t really spend much of anything until then. Since our Kickstarter completed we’ve also raised an additional $21,830 through our IndieGoGo InDemand campaign (before paying ~10% in fees).

Due to additional sacrifices made by the members of the team we’ve been spending money a little bit less than we had budgeted for so financially we’re in pretty good shape. Since the art team is currently on-schedule we expect that the majority of additional costs caused by delays beyond our target retail ship date of September 2017 will primarily go toward programmers. At the moment Flavien is the only programmer getting paid so as long as we can raise an additional ~$25k between now and September 2017 we should be able to cover a 6-month delay without any problems.

So where does this leave us right now? Well, if you’re a Developer Access+ backer then congratulations, you get longer exclusivity. If you’re not a Developer Access backer and you don’t want to wait our pledge upgrade system will be finished soon and you will be able to upgrade to get immediate access to the game. If you don’t want to upgrade then please accept our sincerest apologies for the delay. While it may not be going as fast as we would prefer we’re making steady progress (see our weekly updates), the artwork is coming together great, the game is going to get finished and we can’t wait to play it with all of you!

Weekly Update #31

 

source link

 

Posted by I-NovaeFlavien CTO / President & Cofounder

 

Hi everybody, Flavien here. I'm doing the news update as Keith is out from town for a few days. This week we've been working on bug fixes for the I-Novae installer & launcher ( for those of you dev-tier backers that have access to the game ). Some problems with third-party dependencies have been addressed and better logging / messages has been added for the future. Unfortunately we ran out of time to test the new build before Keith had to leave, so our plan is to push that new build when he's back in around a week.

 

6c8b9d53dbdb8f255e56240a486acfd4432fd9a0

 

Military base Layout A

 

6c8b9d53dbdb8f255e56240a486acfd4432fd9a0

 

 

 

We've also been working on the new game patch including factories and military land bases. We've developped those assets to be modular, so that we can easily create entire new layouts & variations. Keep in mind that the final solar system in which the game will take place will have at least a dozen planets ( only 4 are currently included in the pre-alpha ), and on each of these planets there might be 3-4 factories and bases. With enough layout variations, we are hoping that every base will be slightly different ( some bases will have more defenses, others will have weak points such as an energy reactor you can damage ) however since they're created from a set of common modules it allows us to minimize the amount of work & cost required per asset.

 

f74808bcacfd8b414f3c5dccb16049a036d819f7

 

Military base Layout B

 

f74808bcacfd8b414f3c5dccb16049a036d819f7

 

 

 

At the moment all those assets are placeholders for design purposes. The final assets will have around x4 more geometry and details. Dan has already started to work on the detailed modelling phase for the space station modules and has produced around 20 of them ( out of 50 ) in the past weeks. While we're testing the placeholders we're also generated level-of-details for them which allows us to tune performance and keep the average polycount in check, and test the limits ( in terms of complexity ) of what we can achieve for "huge" military bases, factories or stations.

 

1f900ff3a2bd7aae7b961f054285dfc373789e8e

 

Huge factory - extreme layout test + LODs

 

1f900ff3a2bd7aae7b961f054285dfc373789e8e

 

 

 

Jan and Kristian have been working on finalizing the hauler, including ambient occlusion maps, detail textures/materials and placing dozens of small lights to make it come alive. We are hoping to include the hauler ( at least as a static object, since we don't have any A.I. yet ) in the game by the next patch so that testers can have a look and provide feedback for it.

 

And that is all for now, see you next week !
