PACE Progress Report: -Dev10 and on to Nexus 1.0
🕑 Added 2021-05-10 16:08:13 +0000 UTCSorry for not getting any new videos out lately. Between the demands of real life, coding time, coding fatigue, general distractions and the like, I mostly haven't had the time to do a proper shoot/review/edit/rewatch/upload session. It's not you, it's me.
Progress is being made, however. PACE 1.0 -dev10 is available on the GreslinGames Discord, and I'd say that we're currently at around 90-95% of Nexus 1.0. It's quite playable, works mostly as intended, and most of what's left is detail work and minor bug stomping.
Looking back at how PANPC happened, starting in early 2018, my major regret in all that was not letting it mature and stabilize a bit more before its first Nexus release. I shipped it initially as a small experiment that I thought would maybe attract a very small but interested player base, in line with my experiences on my prior mods. I wasn't really prepared for the impact that PANPC had, and I think both the mod and I suffered a bit for that. So I want to spend a little more time on detail work before an initial Nexus 1.0 ship of PACE.
My current thinking is that PACE will ship in another two weeks or so. I have a few minor but persistent bugs to deal with, and the AI's interior cell game needs work. Expect another -dev or two on Discord before 1.0 is ready.
In the meantime, I've resumed work on PANPC 1.99 (-devs also available on Discord) and plan to ship it to Nexus at the same time as PACE 1.0.
PANPC 1.99 will be a major performance upgrade. I am backporting the upgraded systems and redesigns from PACE into the PANPC AIs, and have already done so with the Base AI script that handles Raiders, Gunners, COA and the like. This has been released on Discord as PANPC 1.99 -dev2. I'm working on the Synth script now.
So we're getting there. Stay tuned and please be patient. Good stuff is coming!
