0.18 Preliminary Design: Quality of Life
🕑 Added 2018-10-25 19:34:51 +0000 UTC 0.17 is likely going to be released this weekend (adding slave proxies, a lot of interactions with faction leaders, and fixes for some features from 0.17b), and it's time to start planning for 0.18. This one is going to be a little different.There are about 70 tasks sitting in my "Polish and Procrastination" list. I'm going to address a chunk of those before I get into adding anything new (including the cutscene graphics overhaul, which I'm going to push out to 0.19). Note that the below is not necessarily all going to be included. I don't plan for this one to be another marathon like 0.17, and should be back to the normal cycle in a couple weeks.
