Commander,

The week of September 8-12 saw major progress on multiple fronts across the game by all team members.

Mission Development

Unity Developer Dustin Weitkunat continued his code base refactor, which has grown into something much larger than initially planned. The expanded scope is worth it: numerous bugs squashed and performance significantly improved across all systems. We’re targeting another internal QA testing build for next week with these foundational improvements.

Ship Construction & Media Production

The art team focused firepower on that classified project… modeling complete, moving to texturing phase. Meanwhile, our TikTok channel launched with new promotional media showcasing combat and development footage. Responding to Discord community requests, the team is creating a series of ship wallpapers featuring game vessels. Expect those downloads soon.

Script & Voice Acting Milestone

Daniel Gibbs maintained peak productivity at 3500 words daily on his latest novel, Check Fire, while achieving a major project milestone: all voice casting is finalized. Recording sessions are being scheduled for the end of September. He also recorded a Command Briefing that you will all receive in the coming weeks.

Community Response

The Discord community continues driving content requests, from wallpapers to behind-the-scenes footage. Your engagement shapes what we create and share.
