Today, here at the 22cans Tower work on the story mode continues today as our Design and the Programming team was in an epic battle with the Japanese translations trying to get the text to appear correctly.
Design
- Worked with Pavle on the story system tutorial
- Made some last minute changes to how the story is delivered for existing games (then fled as Pavle went elbow deep in code)
- Fought an epic battle with the Japanese translation of the story, trying to get the text to appear correctly.
- Further design work on the combat system, exploring unit types and what kind of controls the player will need over them and how to implement them
Production
- Pestering Programming to the PC build working along with the story mode tutorial
- Writing and reviewing various responses to press related things
- Investigating a network issue, which is causing our Jenkins (Build Machine) to play up
Programming
- Assisted with Konrad in his epic battle with the Japanese translation of the story
- Swatted a bug that caused a bizarre effect when trying to sculpt land underwater.
- Worked on the delivery of story mode for existing games.

- Fixing a start-up crash that sneaked into the Android and iOS builds
QA
- Triaging the bugs which came in from test overnight
- Getting Pavle to fix the start-up crash which had crept into the Android and iOS builds
- Regressing the startup crash fix
- Checking which sections of the test plan were completed, and looking into any fails (of which there weren’t any yet)
- Getting a build ready for tonight’s round of testing
- Writing the direction for testers to follow during their testing shift
Support

So, Lord Ba'al we can now post here? So it would seem. If FuriousMoo is no longer talking or collaborating with the supporters and players on this forum under the orders of PM, I must have missed the announcement on this forum? Normally civilized, polite people don't just walk away in the middle of a conversation, let alone a collaboration, so I'm assuming I overlooked it. Maybe someone can direct me to the announcement by 22Cans on this forum? I certainly don't believe that Konrad would walk away without a word intentionally. Please excuse me if I'm confused about this. Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions or being impatient. If so I sincerely apologize. It's nice that Raspofabs is back anyway. |

Where did you get that impression from? Yeah, I don't think he's been asked to keep quiet. I'll ask him, and confirm your assumption if I'm wrong, but I think it's more likely he had his head in his hands for 20% of yesterday, and 80% was spent fixing issues and finishing off the story feature. |

Konrad's been through a lot in the last few days, so he can take all the time he needs. Tell him to take a deep breath, and a deeper pint, and don't even think about work this weekend. |

It's fine, I'm still here. I haven't been punished or told to shut up or anything like that, it's just been super hectic with this media flurry. I'm not going anywhere and nothing has changed in terms of my involvement, if anything I'm feeling more positive.

I think it's great that you've been reaching out for the feedback of supporters and players and I have been very appreciative of your communications FuriousMooi've been wrong often enough in life. This time I'm glad I was wrong. Don't forget I'm still just an "apprentice." Oh, "senior apprentice" now. |

Hopefully things get sorted out, and the furor subsides enough that you all can get back to concentrating on the task at hand; though a little pressure to perform and produce keeps our minds on point and our eyes on the target. Also, ya'll take care of Peter, I think he needs to be reasurred that people do still care about his wellness. |

mrdrpink I just want to say thank you for doing these. I know you have not gotten a lot of "love the Dev" post from us about this kind of thing. But I for one am thankful for this kind of thing and I am sure others are too.

That would have been an unintentional happenstance. furor : [ ˈfyo͝orˌôr, -ər ], NOUN; an outbreak of public anger or excitement. |
