Weekly Update (community made)

[Schmonzo]

Hi everyone,

since Damion didn't give us an update or a stream, I thought we might collect what happend last week. If you have anything to add just post it here and I'll update the opening post.

25.04.'13

The team is back at work on 0.20 and everything seems to go smoothly. Mu is still working on the database with C7 helping him, while C7 is also working on a new loading scene, that should shorten the initial loading time of the game about 10%. After he is finished with that he plans to return to upgrading part modules and systems.

Harvester is working on map filters:

but states that this picture is very much work in progress still. A feature that has been asked for a lot in the suggestions forum since persistency was integrated in the game. He also stated that this feature could be easily integrated into the map screen. But he has not worked on that yet.

He is also working on flags.

A Kerbal will have one of these with him on EVA to place on a planets surface. The flags will be like any other vessel, so you can focus on them in mapview of example. The flags will also get a timestamp so you can see when they have been planted. Harvester also said he would want the texture of the flag to be changeble by the user and would want us to have the possibility to change and read text on the flag once our kerbals are close enough.

That's all I got for now, of course this data is collected only by me so this thread is in no way official and everything is subject to change!

Have a nice day!

Edit: added source links

Are you going to add C7's post?

I thought I did... it's the first two lines. I thought I wouldn't go into too much detail, the main thing he is talking about are the shortened loading times, aren't they? If I missed an important point in his blog please tell me though, I am quite busy doing playtest on another game and only read the posts quickly.

I'll add the links to the blogposts I used, so you guys know (and can read) the sources.

Have a nice day!
