Community9 Apr 20188.0 Progress - Build Update- Code Complete In PolishAdded a thread to the forums to keep a visual track of all the progress to keep things fairly transparent. Here it will be a lot easier to post updates and quick changes versus overloading the frontpage. For a quick update the code is 90% completed and fully operational as it really just requires the final polish once all the graphic changes are fully complete. Keep Track With Progress Here WIP…Community23 Mar 2018Build System Status UpdateJust a quick update as progress is continuing, all of the ship floor object placement code has now been completed, this not only includes the placement of floor objects and rooms in whatever way you want to lay them out but also all of the walk map data has now been completed and updated.

The plan was originally to show off the major change that was going to occur near the end of the month but in reality/personally I really want 7.3.5 to come out as there are a lot of things that I need in order to unblock me on several mechanics and overall feel…	—
30 Jan 2018, 07:04 UTC	Community	Thanks for your patience - Unstable Branch UI Bug Fixes Thank you all for your patience. Things are getting settled down again so more updates should be coming. Long story short kids were born, several other obligated work was completed and additional overall life/work shifts. So to kick things off several several UI fixes have been added to the unstable branch. The major focus right now is going to be cleaning up several deep rooted issues and spen…	—
17 Jun 2017, 07:39 UTC	Community	AI and Travel Progress One of the biggest points of confusion is the crew's wander AI ability. The confusion stems from the appearance of the crew appearing broken when standing in doorways. In many sim games this is pretty common with units standing in the open, twiddling their thumbs or generally just playing idle animations. However for the Sentient this is seen as them standing in door ways or randomly walking be…	—
11 Mar 2017, 06:18 UTC	Community	Hotfix Update 7.3.2 A new update has been pushed to resolve a weapon damage bug that was related to the Ark upgrade system. This basically resulted in the maximum hull damage getting completely overpowered later into the game. The ark leveling system gives you experience regardless of losing battles as you are constantly getting stronger throughout the game but this was a very bad rounding error. This update also…	—

The new build contains several of the systems being built out but not quite ready for consumption. Instead of forking code and wasting a lot of time some of the viability of these changes can be found on this build. For instance, you should now notice a new icon when near Earth as the ark leveling system…	—
