Weekly Update (Mar 5, 2016)
-
Hi guys,
We've been quite busy last week. @Alex has started working on creating armor for the game, really excited about seeing it in game! @Aztar has been pushing the limits with the visuals, adding more customization parameters for the lighting and particle effects, and I've been mostly busy with server and back end handling, all paving the way towards rocket travel.
