Hello commanders, we hope you are well.
This particular DevBlog will be short and sweet, as the Eugen team is very hard at work at dotting WARNO - Tropic Storm’s i’s and crossing its t’s. We are almost there.
Read on!
Some Minor Delays
We originally meant to release WARNO - Tropic Storm in early September, but as you have guessed by now, we need a little bit more time.
Way back, when we decided to expand WARNO - Tropic Storm from a division-only Tribute-style DLC to a full-fledged Army General campaign-inclusive expansion, the scope shifted significantly.
This meant much more work. Such as?
Models
Not only did we have to create said Cuba Libre! campaign (which takes a lot of time), but also the maps, and quite a few extra models for the Army General content.
Our 3D artists have risen to the challenge and produced everything needed by the end of this summer. However, this created a new bottleneck: now with plenty of models (both for the divisions and the Army General battlegroups), they still needed to be polished in textures, gun and engine VFX, their picture shot, etc.
That is why we are finalizing the models division by division and allowing finished ones to be streamed by the Strike Team. Brazil will be shown this weekend, along with some of the new maps.
Cuba is taking a little bit more time (as there are quite a few Army General-exclusive models associated with our communist island nation).
Maps
WARNO - Tropic Storm’s maps have been finished and are currently being tested for balance. Some might have to be reworked a bit to fix some last-minute issues.
Misc
The usual translation and voice-acting, especially for the Army General campaign, are among the last things we can do, as they depend on tests and general feedback. They are implemented as we speak.
Until Next Time
We are doing our utmost to get WARNO - Tropic Storm into your hands as soon as possible. But that’s not all. We have plenty of other cool stuff on the WARNO timeline, including WARNO - Black Birds expansion. And after that? We are working on a new roadmap which we’ll reveal as soon as WARNO - Tropic Storm is released!
