0.3 Final Stages!
quote and reply
Already announced semi-officially on #warsow, 0.3 has
reached Release Candidate status. Basically this means we're
putting all the 0.3 media in packages, comparable to what will be
the final release (means everything arranged, pk3ed etc. nicely,
unlike the in-between builds which are mostly uncompressed, and
messy). Currently we are on RC2, with the 3rd one due soon (which
will start the next round of report-the-bug).
For us this means we have called a full stop on any new feature requests, and we're basically spending our final time squashing all the bugs present in the release candidates, and finishing up the missing media stuff, also the final chances for the mappers to get their final builds in. Both exciting and stressy, we hope to finalize the package soon, so we'll be able to kick back and relax for a while (hopefully after some minor tweaks post 0.30, it's not uncommon for unknown bugs to pop up after release). Next to this, we have some other minor jobs to arrange before releasing, such as a proper press-pack (like the outdated 0.1 press pack; a package containing some up-to-date and pretty screenshots, a small introduction text, stuff like that), and fixing up the changelog completely (which should give a good overview of the changes).
For you, this should mean 0.3 is sooner than before (heh, can't be careful enough with the words here :P), still, no deadline announcement, no official ETA/releasedate, keep track of the main page for that. In the meantime, keep posting cats, we can't have enough cats!
And now for some more technical info for you sowians to discuss; We're currently using a ranged EB, instant on strong like you're used to, with a slightly lower reloadtime (1300ms instead of 1350ms), lowered damage (60dmg for both weak and strong), high knockback (115, it packs quite a punch). The weak EB's projectile has increased speed, from 5000 to 7500. Basically this means a bit weaker EB, but with the increased kb, it is a usefull weapon for breaking players speed or movement, and avoiding people to reach places from a distance.
So there you go, thanks to all warsowians for your patience, having reached the latest stages of testing and packaging... Nothing left to do but wait and post cats. No ETA yet, we could ofcourse assume it will take us a week to finalize everything, but it might as well be longer, so best be safe and shut up! There's plenty of unused cat pictures on google images anyway for you guys to enjoy...! ;)
Now finally, a couple of screenshots of three of the new maps for you to enjoy:
