hrm... can yuou give me the full info? I haven't done anything w/ desura since july 24

Not really sure what to tell you. Opened Desura, Net Gain should it had an update available. I downloaded and installed it and then Desura threw errors trying to open the .exe.

hrm... what were the errors? what's your platform?

Just a generic Desura error that it couldn't find the .exe.

I'm on Win 7 Home.

Hrm.. try deleting the local content on your computer and redownloading... not sure why that'd happen, but it sounds like something on desura's end.

[nenjin]

Yeah that's what I ended up doing. v.0.4.1 works fine again. Damn you Desura, for getting my hopes up!

[Mictlantecuhtli]

I want this inside me. I thought I PTWd this forever ago and there wasn't any activity.

blaaAH..... this last week was crap. it'll just be this week, im trying to push out asap, but there's a lot of UI and start/stop bugs to deal with. so much base stuff changed, before missions were driven by the misison itself, now it's all executor(team/squad/operative) based, ansd the missions are just "registries" of the objectives to do, with the executor deciding what to do with the mission and their state driving things. the active mission menu is still awful since it's not really designed for this kinda async stuff. next step will come with the map view, it'll all make more sense, but I'm trying to put off as much UI stuff as possible until Unity's 4.x UI overhaul stuff is released. Once that's out things are gonna get alll sorts of fancy, but because of some things im using now it's pretty limited while I wait for those engine features.

Also, what's PTW?

"Posting to watch"

I hope you don't end up waiting too long on new Unity features. I've known a few development teams that ended up in limbo because they couldn't move forward/were antsy about going forward without the proposed changes.

[sparkbolt]

Oh, not at all, UI stuff just lost a few priority points, but it's still ranked. It's actually already top spot, going to get a ton of love next build because I need more pretty for public launch. and that upcoming article.

Also, not sure if cross site posting is kosher, but there's a /tg/ thread going.

[EuchreJack]

Cross site posting is fine, and often used.

Demo version?

[nenjin]

Demo version?

Not yet. Only backers have access to the Prototype. When Mobile Ops (I think it is), is finished, that will serve as a demo of sorts.

[ScriptWolf]

Spark how are things going ?

[sparkbolt]

Things go.
The core concept of what a mission was changed pretty drastically from prototype to "what I can actually build with the funds supplied", and that added complexity meant the thing i've been building on isn't the right one (mission driven instead of operative driven). I shoulda switched over a few months ago, but it was important for me to get out some playable content for you guys instead of just a boring framework.

in a nutshell: still squashin' bugs. latest (operatives not knowing what to do if suddenly killed in the middle of a test) was easy, still a few along those lines to squash.

No official Demo version for awhile, so I guess it's whenever some version gets pirated.

And new video is up, builds awaiting approval! http://youtu.be/_zhdzIYeDCg
Though I'm sure most of the world is busy playing GTAV right now.

[nenjin]

As always, I can't really comment on the thing until I have a chance to play through the changes and see how they flow. I love the re-branding option though.

Also like the sirens I could hear in the background of the video. It actually added to it somewhat.

I'll be starting my timer as soon as the build is approved on Desura. (I kid mostly, in truth I'm not too hot on arbitrary monthly deadlines unless you really feel you can make substantive changes in that time, ala Prison Architect.)
