Nescio Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Development has been largely frozen at least since March in anticipation of the next alpha (A23), which was released in May. A quick re-release was announced but so far has failed to materialize. It's now September and as far as I'm aware development is still largely frozen. Between the release of A22 (July 2017) and A23 (May 2018) there were c. 2000 commits, i.e. about 200 per month. Between the release of A23 (May) and now (September) there have been 56 commits, i.e. only 14 per month. This is getting increasingly worrisome. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just my 2 cents. The main issue which held back the release even after all the bugs got fixed was GDPR. And it still is. And AFAIK, there isnt any lawyer here. It took a while to write a patch and even longer to review it. Since its a legal thing and GDPR is quite complex it is neither easy to understand let alone review. And unfortunately it coincided with vacation season, so theres that as well. The lack of progress is also due to not working on A24 development until WFG is gdpr compliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just as smiley said, the big issue was GDPR and the bad timing with holidays. It was difficult to work around an issue that needed an expertise nobody had at first. But we're getting there, and we fixed more things than we originally planned in the re-release. Thanks for your patience 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 You could look at https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1598 And https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1590 And tell us if we forgot any requirement of the GDPR or if there are any loophole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) To jumpstart gameplay (and annoy all of the top-tier players) you could merge DE into the dev branch (well, minus all the new menu backgrounds and stuff like that).   Gotta get the art all-stars back in the game too, @LordGood @wackyserious @Alexandermb New music from @OmriLahav would definitely be encouraging!  Edited October 1, 2018 by wowgetoffyourcellphone 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I'm just waiting for that new Design_Document so atleast the community has a heading. Had been a rough release and even rougher months after that. Alpha24 would be released after an even longer wait than Alpha23.

Stan` Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Well the Roman looks a lot like the one in Rome total war. Some Icons are also under copyright. My main concern on the merging aside from the amount of work it would be is that I'm pretty sure there is a lot of broken stuff in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much would be "broken" per se since you're just overwriting a bunch of stuff. The most broken thing would be the AI. Mostly facetious anyway since you'd have 2 dozen highly ranked players coming to the forum to loudly complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 To be fair, development had picked up pace. A month back Phabricator was dead. At least, now there is something new on the feed everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, now there is something new on the feed everyday. I've discussed with Itms IRL and we are trying to make things go better. We will have another talk in Toulouse on the 17th and 18th of November at the Capitole du Libre. As always there is stuff going on behind the scenes, and communication could have been better. 17 minutes ago, Nescio said: ++Month; Sorry for the inconvenience. 3 minutes ago, fatherbushido said: U+1F648 U+1F649 U+1F64A Meh.
