ALREADY COMPLETE AND IN 3.0.0 BRANCH:

GRAPHICS

• RenderTarget refactor
  • This saves over 50% of video memory usage.
• Area Lights with proper shadowing
• Shadow System refactor
  • This is more efficient and allows for planetary scale shadows.

DESIGN

• Crusader Converted to Object Container Setup
  • With the transition to Object Containers, the Crusader map was completely re-designed. Each Point of interest is now an object container laid out via the Solar System Editor. This is in preparation for Object Container streaming and seamless transitions from different POI’s and between Star Systems. Mission Flowgraphs are converted over to use Subsumption and the new Mission System
• Mega Map for Persistent Universe
  • Mega Map tech (also used in Crusader for seamless loading between different gamemodes) is now possible in the new PU map, which is setup in the solar system editor. This allows the utilization of Mega Map technology.
• Revamp of Power Plants / Shield Generators / Coolers and the Heat & Power System for improved gameplay and conversion to Item 2.0

ENVIRONMENT

• Modular Room System for procedural generation of planetary outposts
  • Official Outpost Spawning System ready for mission designers
  • Integrated Outpost distribution to PlanetEd
  • Single outpost Object Preset
  • Cluster of Outposts
  • Crash site mission

  • Entrance Room system working (stairs and ramps are now available as initial rooms)
  • Rooftop Prop system working for Solar panel
  • Wall prop system working for additional prop variations
  • Material Wear/Dirt on props using Layer Blend done and actually working
  • Developed Outpost “feet” system
  • Set random rotation and offset caps on planet editor
  • Start documenting 3 possible map layouts looping system (using 2 or 4 meters metrics * system; using connection additional corridor pieces; using spline skinned corridors)
  • Support Aircon/solar panel system on outposts
  • Added color tinting to Outposts
  • Added color tinting interface to Planet Ed
  • Created material distinction for interior / exteriors
  • Group elements offset in Planet Object Preset to be able to offset landing pads

TOOLS

• Solar System Editor
  • A tool that will layout entire solar system with their astral objects (sun, planets moons) as well as space stations, etc.

PERFORMANCE

  • Clean up LayerBlend Material Libraries, Resolution Adjustments, Renames to Lower Case
  • Follow-ups on list of unused textures and materials
• Massively improved LOD computation and average face sizes for ships
• Shared hair assets (instead of bespoke asset per head) for character creation
• Automated facial asset LODs, skinning algorithm per lod updated.
• Reworked mesh setup of facial assets for optimal performance and reduced drawcalls.
• Unified helmet and character mesh into singular render proxy for better performance and visuals.

[CC-Corp]

farther away then i thought it would be, lets hope they meet their dead line

[Puls0nic]

To be honest, I'm surprised they're aiming for June. But I also noticed they took out alot of stuff that was originally planned for 3.0, such as the Stanton planets (Hurston, Microtech etc) and ArcCorp is only coming later.

I also don't seen the Delta patcher listed anywhere.

But we do still get a whole new mission system, moon landings, further improved networking and I think this will add plenty of new life to the alpha game.

 

I noticed their approach originally was to have the entire Stanton area available, then release mechanics such as mining, exploration, science in the iterative patches.

Now it seems to release planets iteratively with each patch, along with updated mechanices, core tech, ships and FPS systems as they come online. It seems this was done to get "3.0" out sooner, which I can't argue with.

[Devil Khan]

hmm it is quicker than I have thought, but meh should be around mid-to-end june. Tbh that's optimist, but 2-3 weeks extra at most. Unfortunately no Idris . Heh, I expected it as much since it is the first PU system rather than several separate servers (with the aUEC linked across them all). 

Anyway Hoping to see 4.0 Next week!!!!!!! Heh

We won't be seeing the Idris until SQ42 releases. That's kind of the point of Episode 1  

[Devil Khan]

no, the ship is not sq42 specific any more long time. also they need to "test" out before sq42 on the system remember why that always online since day one.

[Donut]

It's not a debate, CIG has repeatedly stated they won't release the Idris for PU use or even as hangar ready, until after SQ42, so as to "preserve the experience of first encountering and exploring it in the story".

• Ongoing debate about the Idris because it’s essential to a lot of SQ42 scenes. It’d be like putting out the sets to a movie before the movie. Ongoing discussion.

http://imperialnews.network/2016/04/reverse-the-verse-episode-89-liveblog/

[Devil Khan]

yeah, they haven't shown us anything and didn't let us watch the vid on a tour over some of it. It was told us that he originally it was from the start, but it did change and as it stands it will be release on to PU.

[Victor Vector]

I just took a look at the production schedule for 3.0 and I was surprised to see the estimated 29th June release date. I thought it would be nearer to the end of the year to be honest. If they do indeed meet the June date with the same accuracy they exercised with the forum closure deadline I'll be well pleased.

Roll on 29th June and 3.0

Chris Roberts working his magic 

Published on Apr 14, 2017

With the release of the 3.0 Planetary Tech production schedule, we’re sharing an inside look at the complicated process behind creating a schedule for a game of Star Citizen's scope. See the 3.0 schedule details here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com

 

Below is the end of year timeline.....

Spoiler

 

[Zaib]

Great video VoA. Awesome insight about the inner workings of CIG's project management; 40+ MS Project master schedules among the 5 offices comprising 75000+ closed tasks/bugs and another 18000+ active. 

The scale of the development in action with this company is just awesome to see. It is so easy for a software company to take the quick path and cut corners in order to put something in front of customers, ignoring fundamental quality factors. This video really shows how committed CIG is to building SQ42 and SC the right way, laying the foundation for a game that will literally last for decades. 

I love this company so much.

[Boildown]

I think that's the first CIG video about game production that didn't put me to sleep.  Not that its riveting, but it was really well done, and had to be to attempt to explain an incredibly complex topic.  That video will be shown in college classrooms for the next 50 years.

As for 3.0, I mean on one hand I remember 5 months ago thinking about how I was starting to doubt their/my guess of March for 3.0.  Now its all the way back to late June, with months later than that being far more likely considering the showstoppers they don't even know about yet.  So on one hand that's disappointing, yet its encouraging on the other to know that they have a plan mapped out in this fine detail.  And that Chris Roberts wasn't in the video at all, at this point I only want to hear about development schedules from anyone else at CIG but him.

The only disconnect that I think really remains is the Squadron 42 factor.  They keep implying that that game could be released independently of the progress of 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, or the state of the PU in general.  But I find this hard to believe.  For one thing I have to believe S42 depends on too much of that tech, and for another I think when it comes down to it, Chris Roberts is going to make the long term call to do it right once instead of developing systems twice, once in a hacked on-rails form for S42 and then again for the PU.  He's never made the decision to use a shortcut before, why would he do it for Squadron 42?

So the question would then become, at what point in the development of the PU does it contain all (or a sufficient quantity of) the features that Squadron 42 is going to rely upon? 3.3? Later? Until I see that I won't be putting a date on my Squadron 42 expectations.

I think we will likely see a continued effort in the PU 3.x Beta towards completion of the features that are prerequisite to the 4.0 launch for the rest of this year while SQ42 nears completion. If that means that we have to wait until 2018 for SQ42 & the 4.0 PU launch to coincide, I am happy to wait for that. 

Then again I just came back to paying really close attention to this game and from what I have been reading on these forums, there are a LOT of people chomping at the bit, which I completely understand :D. 

[Black-Dahlia]

That RenderTarget refactor looks really nice. That should help a lot of citizens.

[Porcupine]

I'd note that the "end of June" is not the date by which we should expect 3.0 to launch, but rather the date before we should not expect it to. I reckon that based on previous performance, that means September-October in the absolute best possible scenario, end of December (only just) if things go as usual, next year if things go particularly badly (although they'd probably just cut two thirds of it and push it out earlier in that case). Everything beyond the three (basically completely barren except a modular outpost or two) moons being marked as a "stretch goal" essentially guarantees none of it will be in 3.0 except those moons. How many mechanics currently present in the schedule will suffer the same fate remains to be seen but I'm absolutely certain some of them will ultimately end up getting dropped from 3.0. All of this being meant not so much as a complaint, but as a pragmatic observation that we probably need to gear up for a long and distant winter of lack of new content, both figuratively and literally.

As for the "making of" video, I find all of it entertainingly familiar - it's essentially the good old "covering you ass 101" we all know and use, by explaining whoever you answer to why your task is practically impossible to fulfil when confronted with failure to deliver in a timely manner. It does a good job explaining why any game of substantial complexity cannot possibly exist, including the ones we already have. Paraphrasing Einstein ("Everybody knows that some things are simply impossible until somebody, who doesn't know that, makes them possible") I suppose we're lucky not everybody watched it...

[Scally]

best birthday present ever (if they keep to that date)

[Donut]

Spoiler

 

[GeraldEvans]

Yeah, the end of June would be the tentative PTU drop. And work as much material as 3.0 is expected to contain I can see a month of testing.

Either way, I'm happy to be seeing things move incrementally forward. That said, I'd like it if they actually pushed out the ships when each is done rather than dropping four new ones with 3.0 / .1, etc. I know that means the delta patcher would have to come before it, but still.

Make sure you have the ships you want. ..getting closer too somthing....if 3.0 proofs out and 3.1 july/aug.maybe sept.

All I can say  a song comes to mind   "a mining we will go a mining we will go hi how a dairerO  a mining we shall go"

Muhaha

 

 

[Devil Khan]

Don't judge anything beyond 3 month. Even then give them an extra month on top.

I can understand why he has cut down on the number of "cities". He just wanted to have 3.0 out at the next event and fixed any issues/bug that could be quick fixes. It's "delayed".

 

[Painmiester]

Siting in the harbor just got 5 bar and 3g   to watch 3.0   and the Banu Defender on tge phone took 2 hrs but it's done. Was a lot of info to absorb  all I can say it's progressing..... but the defender  referral code crap...sigh........
