@Derailious Initially, yea. But the project got sidelined pretty quickly as designers/builders/engineers got reprioitized onto other projects. I think another designer + dev took a swing at it for a couple of weeks in 2021 but there was some turnover so it didn't go very far.
@v1dd_1@ThirtyVirus@ixnoahlive More importantly, i think testing in a group of that size doesnt test updates at scale. Two updates that i can think of (crimson ilse and crystal hollows) didnt show any issues when tested in small groups but once we opened it to alpha we saw major performance issues.
@v1dd_1@ThirtyVirus@ixnoahlive I don't think NDAs are feasible as i dont think theres a way to easily track breaches of them. IRL trading is a real issue and my guess is that that there will always be atleast one bad actor who will try to sell or use the sensitive information for their own gain
@ThirtyVirus@ixnoahlive I mean one of the main usecases of alpha is to fix bugs with the new content. Every time we released a update without going alpha first there was massive issues. It sucks for hype but imo its way better for game stability.
@Nitroholic_ Yea this was something that was severely missing. Theres a lot of cool ways i think you will be able to play with this. Excited to see what you come up with!
