from Xsyon update thread

May 23 2011

Hello Xsyon Citizens!

We are on track for an update this Wednesday. This update will include our new tree and plant data system which will allow us to start implementing tree planting and agriculture. With this update all trees will be respawned.

We are currently making some changes to the website and our back end systems.

– Reorganizing the Developer Zone and FAQ list. This is explained here:
http://www.xsyon.com/forum/showthrea…and-FAQ-How-to…

– Questions will be answered weekly. At the end of each month we will check through the FAQ and revise answers if necessary. As Xsyon will be continously evolving, some details are bound to change.

– The Developer Zone will soon include direct Requests for Feedback. These requests will focus on new features such as combat revisions. GuideRaguel will be running the request threads and is the main person to go to with your suggestions and balance issues.

– We’ve added a Suggestion tracker for player suggestions. I will announce when this is ready for public use.

– We are cleaning out the Bug Tracker and copying issues to a new private system used by the development team. The Bug Tracker will be checked daily and updated with fixed or resolved issues once a week.

– We are adding the ability to purchase pre-paid time through the accounts page. This can be done with a credit or paypal accounts with or without credit cards and will allow players to purchase game time without a recurring subscription.

Most of this will be wrapped up this week.

We are also close to showing some of our combat revisions to the public on the test server. We need to sort out and recreate some animations and this should be ready for feedback by the end of the week.

That’s all for now!
