Dear Mechanics!

Welcome to our fifty-third Development Status update – the October summary
Let’s get straight to business.

Art Progress:

From art department we made huge step forward. From finished Warehouse1 level including more rooms to be unlocked to new panels in UI, as well as improvements in our own shaders we are using in the game. To support new features whom will come with Paint Room.

UI Concept for Paint Room

Code Progress:

The paint room has not yet been finished. We have a delay with this milestone.

We can successfully paint the tank in a special test scene, although implementation of this system in our game is taking us more time than expected.

We’re also working on how the game loads custom content, we want to integrate it with the Steam Workshop system.

What is the plan for the November:

• finishing the tasks from October
• adding doable suggestions to the game (we will present these suggestions in each next weekly summary)
• fixing bugs
• at the end of the month, demo

That would be all for this week and month. If you have any suggestions, ideas or questions, write to us at contact@degenerals.com or visit our Discord server (https://discord.gg/HPbJj9y).

Have a good weekend and see you next week!

Panzer III J Work in progress

Code Progress:

Paint room logic has been finished, now it is being implemented into the game.

How it’s going to work:

• player unlocks the paint room
• player sends the tank to the paint room
• there the player has options to sand blast, apply primer or paint manually (if player unlocks auto paint, this can be done automaticly)
• the player has option to apply camo, decals or decorators if the tank has been fully painted
• game should support custom camo, decals and decorators

Other than that, we’re pushing other tasks in October to other months, as we get very good suggestions that we want to add into the game first.

That would be all for this week. If you have any suggestions, ideas or questions, write to us at contact@degenerals.com or visit our Discord server (https://discord.gg/HPbJj9y).

Have a good weekend and see you next week!

Let’s get straight to business.

Texture work

Code Progress:

Player leveling system has been mostly finished.

Current status:

• Tools and vehicles are unlockable and the old logic has been connected with the system (so a tool won’t be available if the player has not unlocked and bought it firstly)
• Tools and vehicles can be bought from the inventory shop in in-game PC/Tablet desktop
• Passive skills are unlockable and have been implemented into the game (shop discounts, reputation bonuses, faster assembly/disassembly time etc.)

To do:

• Business upgrades (unlocking new rooms, for example, the paint room)
• Implementation of quad, magnetometer, drone (this is going to be added in few weeks, as those tasks might be time consuming to develop

That would be all for this week. If you have any suggestions, ideas or questions, write to us at contact@degenerals.com or visit our Discord server (https://discord.gg/HPbJj9y).

Dear Mechanics!

Welcome to our fiftieth Development Status update.
Let’s get straight to business.

Code Progress:

We’ve begun working on few new features, let’s list them below and how we plan to develop them:

1. Paint Room – place where player can apply camouflages, insygnias etc. where ever he likes. This is done with help of Paint in 3D system by Carlos Wilkes. Nice to have: custom stuff
2. Player leveling system – 3 main branches of the player leveling tree:
   1. Tools/Inventory – stuff like flashlights, metal detectors but also quad, magnetometer etc.
   2. Business – extended Warehouse, Paint Room, extended Museum etc.
   3. Passives – bonus to money gained, reputation, discount at shops etc.

Paint room prototype should be ready by the end of next week. Player leveling system requires more time, as some of features the player can unlock in the tree is still not yet in the game (for instance, quad controller, drone controller).

That would be all for this week. If you have any suggestions, ideas or questions, write to us at contact@degenerals.com or visit our Discord server (https://discord.gg/HPbJj9y).
