Devlog update (2014-05-12) Development continues

[Shoozza]

Hello Soldaters!

Ok so I thought I should try to keep writing the devlogs

Last week the development for the next version started.
There are some big features planned but I don't want to spoil them before they are done.

The current plan is to release 1.6.8 before 1.7 if it takes too long.
I cannot promise that it will include MSAC (Soldats anticheat). It should be in 1.7 though.

Big changes will go into 1.7 and bugfixes into 1.6.8.
Which means we will for the first time work on two versions at once. I'm curious how well that will work with SVN.

Fryer agreed to help me with some of the big stuff for 1.7.
Besides that not much happened.

I'm currently not sure how to write the devlogs so that 1.7 will be a surprise

And that's it for now. Unit next time!

Fryer, my body is ready!

[Mittsu]

you got me excited

The ''big thing'' is the super sercret stuff that Fryer showed us in the last blog, right ?
I don't know what is the big stuff in 1.7, hope AUG has damage + 3
I think you guys should focus in 1.7, don't need to release 1.6.8, we can wait

Why do game devs' plans always have to be secret?

That would be a reason:
"Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them."

I'm a bit missing the MM enthusiasm he is showing for all of his projects: 'building the best game in the world', 'the most powerful map maker in the world ' the most amazing...'
But yeah, maybe reveal a few plans you have  Don't make it too exciting!

& Good Luck & Fun!

yeah, this best game and powerful map maker is sooooo good... Wonder why this game have about 12 years and still its works like beta, and Devs still need to fix bugs and its F disaster to add something new to this game :]

"Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them."

I don't thinks so. When you say what you are doing YOU HAVE MORE motivated to make it, because everyone know what you want to do and look at your work, and you can get more support when you find problems.

I hope anticheat, fix hits and +1 dmg for AUG

I think a more optimized Soldat would benefit everyone. Would probably even make up for the netcode. Nope, not a chance. But good updates as always
