Greetings Everyone,
Dual bug fix updates this weekend. First, Classic GearCity received update v2.0.0.13. This is a small update that contains fixes for a pair of exploits, edge cases, a medium-sized bug, and a few little bugs.
GearCity: 2nd Gear received a much bigger update. It addresses several issues with the new systems added with the last update. It also has a few downstream fixes from Classic GC.
With GearCity: 2nd Gear Milestone #5 approaching in a few days, I plan on working on some engine issues that came from our engine library upgrades from Milestone #3. There are also several long-time micro issues with the game which have been sitting on my to-do list for years. If time permits, I'll address those.
I plan to complete GearCity: 2nd Gear Milestone #5, then pause GC work and the FBS system for a few months while I work on AeroMogul exclusively. How long of a pause depends on how long it takes to complete Milestone #5. But I figure it won't be until Spring/Summer of next year before we're fundraising again.
I think in the long term, until Serhey can regularly produce artwork for GC again, I will limit the FBS to 1 Big Milestone per year. As it is now, it is taking away too much of my time from working on AeroMogul. That is my tentative plan anyway. We'll see when we get there.
