HullBreach Progress Report 2007-10-14
By geekrecon. Sunday, 14. October 2007, 19:00:09
Several functional updates have been made today to HullBreach, each of which is a major step toward the limited beta release. Without further ado, here they are:
Scanning
All locations can now be scanned when the ship is docked at them, revealing different levels of information based on the power of the ship's sensors. This will eventually be worked into missions were data need to be collected to progress.
Shipyards
The shipyard menu allows players to browse ships available for sale at certain locations. Eventually these will be purchasable by earning credits from missions; ship upgrades will be made available as well.
Missions
The mission menu allows players to select missions to take-on from most locations. Mission population is in progress. There will be many types of missions with tasks as simple as transporting goods to very complex scripted missions like infiltrating an enemy planet that can take numerous steps to complete.
Much of the code has also been cleaned up for quicker loading, less memory footprint, and easier future expansion. These backend changes will allow HullBreach to be updated while players are in the game, adding augmentations in real-time. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!
