Dawn of Coalescence is no longer on hold!
Interanlly, work is slowly resuming!
However it remains irresponsible to try and offer a concrete timeframe.
Slowly the ancient DoC machine-spirit is re-awakening;
However first i must insure that all of it's cogitators (AI) are in working order
While the means for effecting the most basic of AI functionality have been well established there are still many finer points to DoC gameplay i must attempt to address with the AI somehow or another such as:
starting with no hq building as such,
strategizing hq location based on a given map/opposition etc,
managing units operating at different elevations (orbital, bomber, flyer and strafing units)
not to mention managing map structures the AI gains control of during the course of a battle....and so on.
So that is the current first order of business
When the first "properly" functioning AI is finished and tested i will post footage. No timeframe.
When every armies AI is finished and tested there will be a full release but again it would be irresponsible of me to try and offer a timeline.
Considering a more private but also more regular DoC Discord chat for those interested enough to want to at least attempt to offer constructive insight...
DoC is NO LONGER on hold! Expect news and updates to once again be posted here. INTERNAL production has resumed and anyone wishing to help or barter with...

WHAT ?
Not dead?
Why won't they just release it in what ever state it is in now? At this point, I'll gladly take it at any quality.
bugs.bugs.glitches.
missing units.bugs.glitches.
bugs.lags.glitches.
Better than never seeing it at all though.
Actually it have already be done, 44Go, of hard work, but well, it's still unfinished, so yeah you think the mods is awesome when you see manticore, deathstrikes, ... but when you're inside it's so broken and unfinished that it CAN'T be fun.
It's not because they are bad, they are not bad at all, it's our fault, to expect them to release it so early.
A game is meant to be fun, so if the actual state of the mod don't allow it to be fun, there is no reason to release it unless as a modders ressource.
The eagerness of people concerning this mod is what killed it ( at least it put it to a halt ( no way to know, if the mod is still on hold, but it was after the release of the Alpha version, from the words of the team ), every body wanted to see huge things, and so when the huge things where released just for demonstration purpose, everybody started to complain about how broken it was and completely missed the point, it have dimoralized the team ( perhaps even a little bit of anger, after 10 years of hard work ... ).
So, I don't thinkthat they would anymore release anything before they are sure that it is pretty much flawless, and for a huge mod like that it can take a long time ( it have already been there for 10 years after all).
