Future Release Plans

Where are we with everything left to be completed for 0.3.2?

  • CPA update : Move/rewrite a lot of the code for the CPA processes.
  • Temporary text tutorial : Either making the help panel more helpful, or adding in scripted text boxes that explain the features.
  • Performance improvements : Fixing the stuttering that the microbe experiences while swimming.
  • Updated flagellum model : A flagellum that moves with helical motion.
  • Options menu : In-game ability to change graphics, audio, etc.
  • Sound effects overhaul : Update some of the SFX in-game.

Other than fixing the GUI panels, the tutorial looks finished. I can get the sound effects updates done in a couple of days when I have the time, and I’d imagine a new flagellum model isn’t too difficult to add (correct me if I’m wrong).

Other than that, it’s three more big programming updates. In my opinion the performance improvements (fixing the stuttering on loading new microbes) should take priority.

Hopefully all of this can be completed by mid-April, which would be a good time to release. If it’s before then, even better.
