Team and Development News

The team has been working very well, mainly it has been just coding, as the networking hasent added any new features to the game other then the option to play online which is also a massive task in itself. Currently, Music and Audio ambience sounds are in development and we are testing new styles which will suit Spacebit best. Thomas, the 2D artist, who  works on concept, background art and some texture art has had a injury. We hope we gets better soon and wish him the best during his recovery. And with Jeno being busy with his assignments, this update is mainly all programming, many reported bug fixes and heaps more GUI improvements.
