Hi Everyone!
It's been a a couple of weeks since the last dev blog post, so I thought I'd make a quite update to share the latest progress on ESS and its related projects.
First up--the ESS 4.0 release. I'm hoping that this will occur mid-March, everything is pulling together nicely. As you've hopefully all noticed by now, some really big changes have been happening with planets and solar systems in SR2 recently. This has been really brilliant but it has also made the development of this patch a bit more difficult than I expected. I'm currently working to make sure that the new material in 4.0 is kept up to date with these changes so it will be a stable release.
Episode one of the Planet Studio tutorial is now out, there are a few issues with sound but I'm overall pleased with it, for a first episode. It covers the UI for the planet and system editing modes in detail. Pedro has been really helpful with this, reviewing the script and giving advice on some of the newest features.
Lore is also progressing well, a teaser will be releasing on the 1st March followed by regular chapter releases. I have to thank ParallelMayhem and Ardee for their help over the last couple of weeks, their enthusiasm has really kept me motivated to keep working on this side project.
Hype!
