Estamos muy emocionados por el reciente crecimiento en la cantidad de jugadores la cual se ha mas que doblado la semana pasada. Para compartir nuestra emoción con la comunidad queremos tomarnos un momento para actualizarlos en el contenido que se esta por venir para el juego.

Algunos de nuestros modelos originales tienen mas de 6 años y podrían gozar de algunos retoques. La “Guarnición” fue el primero en conseguir un cambio de imagen y se está usando desde la actualización 3.13c, Las Operaciones Especiales es la siguiente en línea para un remodelo. “Pouchyboy” y “Spok” han estado trabajando duro en estos modelos.

Modelo por “Pouchyboy” (Jason Havens) y texturas por “Spok”.

A través del ciclo de vida del juego hemos continuando diseñando y construyendo un portafolio variado de mapas. La vasta mayoría han sido centrados en el multijugador, pero sabemos que a muchos de ustedes les gustaría ver más interés en el modo de un solo jugador. Estamos felices de compartir que tenemos múltiples mapas de un solo jugador en producción.

Inteligencia ha demostrado que los rebeldes se han están escondiendo en algún lugar de este sector. Es momento para que las fuerzas de la Alianza obtengan mejor reconocimiento en la locación de la base rebelde y los erradique. Esta será la primera misión del juego teniendo a la Alianza como facción jugable.
En desarrollo por “Pandango”.

La joven Alice está en una misión muy importante: ¿Que a pasado con el centro de mando rebelde? La verdad podría ser peor de lo que ella se imagina. Como lo sugiere el titulo esta será la primera mini campaña multi nivel del juego.
En desarrollo por “BarraBarraTiger”.

Actualmente hay numerosas imágenes de fondo para las pantallas de carga hechas por la comunidad que están siendo usadas. Nos gustaría expandir esa colección de imágenes. Por favor contáctanos a través de Discord si quieres ayudarnos a extenderla.

El equipo esta viendo de organizar otro torneo. Es una oportunidad perfecta para los mejores jugadores de demostrar su verdadero potencial, además obtenemos más información sobre balance a un nivel de juego alto. Una publicación mas adelante ira en más detalle sobre esto.

Una cosa que siempre cambiará y se retocara es el balance. Un proceso muy delicado en el cual donde un cambio menor aquí impacta la efectividad en otro lugar. Los bugs son otra cosa que podrían tener un gran impacto en la jugabilidad. Para hacer el juego lo mas disfrutable y justo posible continuaremos corrigiendo bugs y retocando el balance.
