Hey Exanimates,
Everyone including Madoc is just working on getting the environments and items for the update release ready. This is all that's really left to do now so this won't change until the final insider test at least. We managed to solve our most pressing problems with character foot interactions, and while we'll almost certainly do more on this in future things are definitely improved.
Another feature we've added is embedding scripts in item descriptions. This means that for example an item's description might change to reflect the state of events or characters in the world or affect such changes, dialogue etc. For now this has very limited applications, but longer term they are many and important. In general we've been adding a lot of this sort of functionality and figuring out some details of the roles and related systems that will be the focus of the following update.
In other news, we're hiring a new programmer to join the Bare Mettle ranks. This has been in the works for a while, but we finally got all the paperwork sorted and it's official. He's been a member of the community for a long time, you might know him as Jimmini, and through various private exchanges Madoc determined he's got some impressive skills and the right drive to join the team. We've got some important work lined up for him and he should be able to contribute in many ways going forward.
Have a great week!
