Topic: Status update
Puh, loads of work is being down behind the scenes. Here comes a little status update on whats going on.
Next version, 0.4.0
I've done a serious effort to make the server and client more secure to various attacks. This doesn't just make it more secure, it makes it more stable as well. After this is finished (this weekend) there are loads of smaller tasks that needs to be fixed. I will also host an event to balance the game as well during one weekend. I will personally invite people to this event, don't ask to get invited.
My plan was to release 0.4.0 before I turn 25 (3rd of March) but the security stuff took longer then I thought so I'm aiming to release it when easter starts on the 21st of March. Then I will have the weekend to fix imminent problems and perhaps do a 0.4.1 release on the 24th of March. Remember that this is what I aim for, not final dates when the releases will happen.
The new server
The server is installed and ready. We have several options right now on where to place the server, but we are still exploring to make sure we get the best possible solution.
The community
The community is growing larger slowly, just the way we like it. Still, it's getting harder and harder to keepup with the forums and still have time to do actual coding. I've stopped trying to keepup with community forums and concentrate only on the official onces. I read everything there, but I don't always have time to answer. The idea is to bring in a couple of more moderators to help out. These moderators will eventually get access to trac to add tickets etc to track problems more efficently. Also we must have a better way to document important stuff. I see a lot of stuff being repeated on the forums over and over again. Perhaps it's time for a wiki.
Well, that is all for now. Over and out!
