Hello everyone…
So it turns out all of the old Arena code no longer existed so I had a bit more work bodging this into live than I expected, but hey we got there in the end. I did want to make it so going through the team portals set your outfit colour automatically, but decided that’s something that’d be easy with scripting and as live doesn’t have scripting support I figured it was probably better to expend that effort somewhere else.
- Isle of Conquest accessible from Emberton and Gilead
- Separate spawns for red / blue teams
- Spectator section in the middle for watching
- No penalties for being killed or killing other players in the Arena
This week I have been dealing with a bunch of RL stuff (namely surrounding getting a bunch of my posessions ready to sell) in an effort to position myself a bit better financially for the incoming cost-of-living apocalypse looming over the UK. For this reason I didn’t have as much time as I wanted to work, so I decided to spent the little time I had getting an Arena live as I had promised.
This update was pushed on Friday morning, but it has taken Google an absurd amount of time to verify ._.
As of next week I will be dedicating the vast majority of my time to the PTR, aiming to bring it in-line with the live game’s featureset as quickly as possible. We will be working in sprints, with fortnightly sprint review streams as per the start of the year. Yay 🙂
I’m also going to investigate setting up Patreon as a few people have expressed a desire in supporting me directly, and given the… sub-optimal financial situation in the UK I figure at this stage I would be wise to accept all the help I can get.
Apologies for the slow-down these last couple of weeks, the reality of not going back to work has resulted in some RL turbulance, be assured that my aim is to get back to the grind ASAP.
