The past 2 months have been very busy. Obviously, I went on vacation for a bit in December, and much of this month has been dominated by work.

The primary issue has been getting Gundam compatible with the latest build of the spring engine. As many of you know, you cannot use the public server to play Gundam if you don't upgrade and you cannot run gundam(YET) in the latest build.

Much of the delay had to do with changes in the way the engine handled many things. Things which break the controlling game logic behind Gundam RTS. It has been quite the hassle to get these issues resolved. On top of this there is the new research code which I am still doing ui elements for.

The biggest change this past month has been the resolution of the upgrade bug. In gundam when you ugraded a unit, it was switched out for another unit that you have now upgraded to. This caused a lot of issues! Namely, in Spring Engine 84 & 85 your factory would brick and become useless forcing you to sell it. I have fixed this issue but it has a few details I want to put out in the open.

if a unit is building and is upgraded, the unit's construction is reset and the upgraded unit will start building.

I know this is an inconvenience for many of you especially on units with long build times. I can fix the issue but it would add a few more weeks to grts as I already have several other issues I am resolving right now. Eventually I am moving away from the current factory system as well.

So I suppose I am wondering if this 1 issue is really all that big a deal to you guys. It doesn't really bother me all that much and since I plan on replacing the build system anyway, I am reluctant to spend more time on the build queue stuff. What do you guys feel? lose a few weeks that you can be playing for a feature that will eventually be replaced anyway? Or just leave it and get out a playable version since I am going to replace the build system all the same?

depends on how I feel when i get past my current list, it is a pretty extensive one. To say that I like zeta would be an understatement but honestly, I am not sure I will have it left in me to do 0087-0096

hello i am a big fan of gundam and rts games and so i downloaded the game i install it fine but when i start the shortcut created on desktop it crashes so i go to the spring engine and start the game from there and when i do it works fine up until the part where it says finalizing at the end of loading and stays like that even though i have left it for a half a hour help would be greatly appreciated as i really want to play this game. also i have a idea/request for a unit the quadruped mobile suit/mech as seen in the opening scenes of gundam seed the one that looks like a dog with two cannons on its back

Your machine might not be able to handle the game, is it a laptop with intel video card?

As for your request: No, I will not add seed units arbitrarily into the game.

really really busy IRL.

Fixed one of the MAJOR bugs with my first weekend off in months.

I don't feel comfortable touching the UC stories as I don't want to step on any of Bandai's toes. If I did a story, I would revolve it around events in the Zeon American front. So maybe there would be cameos or references to events but nothing where I would effect major story events. It is lower on priority as I want to focus purely on as blue admiral said, getting a good sized roster of MS available.
