Weekly Update (Aug 20, 2016)
-
Hi guys,
Busy week for us, as always, tying up planet generation system to enable competition of ocean data structures, started working on mob placement system, tweaked website pages a little, attempted forum nodebb update again, but several plugins are still not functioning correctly, so we are still holding back on that.
Unreal Engine 4.13 preview is out so we started identifying any possible challenges that upgrade may present, so far it appears like it will be quite straight forward. Project is still based on 4.12.3 version. This work is on a separate branch and we don't pick up those commits here.
