A couple of hard working days have passed (careful observers might have noticed many version changes since 0.86 3 days ago). The network engine was partially rewriten, and so, more testing was possible. I’m very happy i must say. All the team members liked the game, including myself . My biggest concern was that the new economical system will kill the game’s fun. But it didn’t. Sure, it requires a bit different approach than original game’s, but it is fun on its own. The list of bugs discovered is pretty long, but a lot of the real severe bugs were fixed. Today we’ve been playing the game in multiplayer since 12:00 in the morning, untill 20:00. Some crashes did occure, but we were able, through save and reload, to proceed quite far into the game, noting bugs that occured, as well as doing some balancing tweaks. Game will require quite some more work to really shine, but i believe it’s on a good way.
