addedDear Space Explorers , We are aware that we neglected you in the last couple of months and for this we apologize from the bottom of our hearts; we really did a terrible job at communicating with all of you. Please believe it was because we have put maximum effort into the development of Jumpdrive. Luckily, now we are back to tell you that we do remember about you and we are going to make up for the silence with regular updates! We have expanded our company which enables core team members to completely focus on the development of the game. Other team members will be solely responsible for staying in touch with our community - you absolutely deserve it! We also know that you have questions and from now on we are going to answer all of them, as we should always have. We are happy to confirm that Jumpdrive is still in development and it is becoming bigger and better than ever. Over the last several months we have been rewriting the whole codebase which was extremely time-consuming and did not leave us time for actual updates. Nevertheless, it was worth it as now improving the game and implementing new features will be easier than ever! What new features can you expect in Jumpdrive in the near future? Take a look:
addedAlpha 12 (ETA: this month):Completely overhauled physics system which should improve spaceflight reliability and feel and remove multiple problems that existed within the older system. - Improvements to HUD, including new ship contact list readout. - Massive art overhaul, new ships and stations as well as remodels and re-textures of many current ships and stations.
addedAlpha 13 (ETA: June):New physics system activated for AI ships as well as the player ship. - New physics system activated for autopilot, fixing all current bugs in the autopilot system and making it significantly more reliable. - New AI system with ships much more reliable and less buggy. Base AI system includes general AI ships, but expansibility will allow the development of more interesting role specialized AI in the future (traders, navy, miners, pirates, etc). We are going to stay in close touch with every single one of you from this point on and do our best to give you all new features as soon as possible. Please be excited – there is much more coming later on! Join our newsletter at our website so that you can stay up to date with regular e-mails! Also, do not hesitate to contact us at info@meteoricgames.com, we will gladly answer all your questions and carefully listen to your feedback.
