DEVELOPMENT BLOG #8
Development blog #8 has turned up.
There has happened quite a lot in the past 2 weeks. One of those changes is a really big one which will impact the development and everything else what we do from now on. That is related to our company Chronobyte Interactive which we announced quite some time ago. We have taken a great leap forward and at last, registered it as an official company. Party time

!
This should now give us an ability to start asking for donations in the near future, to help the development and hopefully reduce the strain on our wallets to upkeep all of this (It is not cheap to upkeep the servers and afford other things what we need). Donations are also something which many of you have been asking about for a long time now. There will, of course, be in-game rewards and other things for pre-early access donators to show our gratitude for the help. Everything related to donations, donation rewards, donation amounts and etc. will all be properly documented, then when we decide to open up our donations page.
There have also been some changes in the team due to the registering of the company. We now have 3 main team leaders.
- Maron will be in charge of the Art related items. (3D modeling, textures, main game art style etc.)
- Sridutt will be in charge of everything related to Game programming.
- Vincent will be in charge of everything backend and assist Sridutt on the game programming side too. (Mainly server upkeep, creating APIs and making sure all of it works flawlessly etc.)
Otherwise, we are making good progress on creating 3D models for our alpha map called "Alaska". And we have also started doing some proper small detail blackouts on the map too. We are trying to implement features into the map to make the level design more interesting. Instead of quite a flat terrain with a few high hills, we will now have a lot of terrain height fluctuation going on everywhere. Pictures of this progress will be released in a future development blog.
