[Deprecated] Forthcoming Updates

[Shadowood]

Wow! Thank you for that. I will put some more thought into and refine the post.

[Captain Jack]

Thanks Captain Jack. Is there going to be a list for the smaller updates being worked on?

It's difficult to assemble such a list. Mostly because we are speaking about a live world where needs change daily. If a big war breaks out tomorrow, new necessities will arise (War is the father of all, Heraclitus) which we will need to address immediately.

Or see how the sink chance change create a necessity for a mass upgrade feature which created a necessity for both a calculator and an automatic attributes calculator. You cannot always predict everything and prediction takes time. We got no time to spare with predictions and lists assembly. Only major parts where we also seek help are worth mentioning, at this point.

Once our suggestions thread is peaceful again, we can organize things more. Now, its clogged up and it creates a tremendous pressure on us daily.

Plus, if you have noticed, the more we develop, the more ideas are coming in. There is only one way out: We need to increase our speed. We need to see the end of the tunnel!

An update:
-We are currently still busy setting up the new server. Things like mail delivery is an issue that took a big chunk of our time. Yahoo proved to be a liability. We have not much more to do here for now.
-Today we will work on some of the update scripts. We need to check them for integrity as we have updated a large part of the code to work with a greater version of the programming language we use.
-In the following days there is more similar work to be done. We title it as maintenance work.
-There will not be releases of new features in February.
-February instead should be used to prioritize features and work on developing some of them.

At late February, we will announce which the next step will be. As things stand now, here is a possible schedule:

Version 1.9: Nation Diplomacy and Automatic Avonmora Herald OR Witch Hut
->If we got a list of about 20 Legendary Cards, Witch Hut will take the priority
->Nation diplomacy will be followed by Automatic Avonmora Herald. It is quite possible that Automatic Avonmora Herald will follow as a subversion of 1.9 although it might be pushed further back. Our willingness is to push it right after nation diplomacy.

Version 2.0: Ship Specialization
->It is quite clear that the IC extension cannot be forwarded yet. There are so many other things waiting in line. We are not deserting the idea though and might be Version 3.0 instead.
->Ship Specialization after all more than deserves to be the PG 2 feature. It is something we work on for such a long time and surely for someone that played before PG version 1, it will be a huge difference to play PG 2. There are so many subversions throughout all game versions from 1 to 2 that are related to ship specialization.

Version 2.1: Nation Diplomacy or Witch Hut (depending on what got implemented on 1.9)

Version 2.2: Ports Buildings

Timelines:

First, we are very bad in sketching out delivery times. We are always too optimistic. I will still share our plans and hopefully, this will be the first time to deliver sooner than promised:

Version 1.9: March (Hopefully, early March)
Version 2.0: April
Version 2.1: May
Version 2.2: June

Captain Jack, I am curious if the much anticipated Pirate Flagship is scheduled anywhere in here too or is that in a later version?

Thanks again for all the work you and your team is doing to improve the overall game experience.

[Captain Jack]

Pirate Flagship is part of Ship specialization. It's a finished feature in terms of development. Whether or not it will make it in v2.0 it remains to be seen. No special decisions have been taken for it.

I would love to see the Witch Hut sooner rather than later. We will be working hard to facilitate discussion on the Legendary Voodoo!

Bump!

Captain Jack - I know you have had some concerns regarding gold bars and some other things. I was curious if these updates are still coming next or are you working toward something to get gold bars moving again... Or combination of both?

Just curious where we stand. Thanks for any feedback. I know you all are busy.

[ChaIbaud]

I'm most excited for the IC Extension and something not on the list: the journal for the Captain's Log!

[Charles Vane]

Aye, as one eagerly awaiting the much anticipated Pirate Flagship i'd love to catch an update on game development!

(Time permitting of course)
