Team weekly breakdown after the jump
Howard:
Supporting players and posted part 3 of the post-mortem.
Alex:
Prototyping a “cargo barge” that you can drag around for certain co-op game modes. The same code might hypothetically find use in Skirmish mode as either 1) an improved harpoon or 2) a capture-the-flag mode.
Also server maintenance and monitoring in the face of our new record of 4000 concurrent players.
Nathan:
Prototype of new engineer tool went well, now making a version for internal testing.
Eric:
Evaluating/testing old and new ammos. Co-op features.
George:
Working on automated client side performance testing tools
Emily:
Working on the welcome screen.
George:
Working on automated performance testing. Getting a tool that will help save us time when looking for performance bottlenecks.
Jerry:
Kept on matchmaking system – the new algorithm should cover low pop situations much better. Other than that was current server stability fix / monitoring.
Tom
Improved new movement for Bomber and Gatling planes.
Matthew:
Player support and competitive updates.
