The QA team has also been hard at work in cataloging bug reports for the developers to address, stemming from the player testing and automated testing that has been on-going during the year. Alongside all of that, they have also been preparing certain systems for scalability testing in the future Alpha One sessions. In addition, a strong focus has been made in optimizing server performance, download, and the patching process of the game client. On the engineering side, much of this last quarter revolved around fleshing out the functionality of key systems and mechanics that you have seen demonstrated in some of the gameplay videos released over the past few months. This process allows us to scale the amount of necessary assets with greater quality and efficiency in order to continue filling the very large world of Verra with a strong visual diversity of NPCs, biomes, and animation sets for a truly immersive experience. As you have likely seen in our last three Live Stream updates, copious amounts of beautiful artwork have been created by our incredibly talented Environment, Character, and Animation teams.Ĭurrently, our art teams are refining their pipelines based on the knowledge gathered during the march towards Alpha One. Production on the art side continues to move forward as the world of Verra comes more and more to life. ![]() Every re-post or shout-out helps potentially bring our project to the attention of some talented developers. However, we are working hard to perfect the at-home on-boarding experience, and we are ramping up our recruitment efforts! As always, if you are not connected with us on our social media platforms, please consider following, and helping to promote the studio and project. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not yet significantly impacted the development schedule of Ashes of Creation, it does present some difficulties in on-boarding additional team members. We have also successfully moved out of our old studio! It was a bittersweet moment as we prepare the move into our new studio pending the COVID-19 guidelines (which we hope will be sometime around a late August or early September time-frame.) I will say that our team has done phenomenally in the transition to a work-from-home environment, but many of us are ready to be back in the office together! Those of you who are Leader of Men pack holders will receive separate emails near the end of July with download links and instructions. I am happy to announce that we will be expanding the testing group starting in August to include Leader of Men pack holders as we begin to ramp up the testing of Alpha One.
