I've been working on Beta 3 quite a bit lately, and if things proceed at the current rate, I'm looking to release it sometime on Friday the 25th of this month.
STUFF THAT'S DONE:
- New RGB Sabers that allow you to adjust the color in-game through the player setup menu, complete with real-time preview graphics.
- Sabers have new artwork that makes them resemble the sabers from Episode 2.
- All bugs from the previous version have been fixed.
- New Saber Stance Trumping system gives each stance an advantage against one of the other stances, but a penalty versus the other. Blue trumps Yellow trumps Red trumps Blue. This will make it advantageous to switch stances often.
- 45-degree attack-chaining requirement for Red stance has been removed. This gives the Red stance a much-needed combat effectiveness boost. You can chain any three Red swings together now.
- Bonus meters are super-crisp and clear now at any detail level.
- Duel spectators' comments can now be seen by both duellists. Spectators can also call votes.
- other little stuff...
LEFT TO DO:
- Saber vs. Guns balance system - god, this is gonna be complicated for me to write, but easy for you guys to use. :]
- New Neutral Force Power - I hope I'll have time to get this into the game before the release. I just don't know for sure yet.
Not going to be getting much sleep for a while...
