1 in thread Mission List [The Playability Lab]
You've seen this before... it's the mission list:



We've already got a lot of ideas on how to improve this, but to be sure, I want your thoughts on it!

We know some of the text is too small and that the colors could be better. You probably want more information about the missions, too... but what else? What specific information about missions would you want to see here?

You're right. The fact of the matter is that our dev staff is pretty small when it comes to the size of the project that we've built. We have a developer (Heidi) who is point person on graphics, but she also has other responsibilities on the project. Like everything, we do as much work as is needed on a particular piece, and then we stop and work on the next work item.

If this were a bigger project, she'd spend all her time on optimizations and the game would perform better. But that's true for everything. A year from now Crysis will run better than it does now. It's all a question of how much you have to spend, and where you spend it.

Ok, we got new drivers from Nvidia, and our preliminary testing shows the problem fixed on both XP and Vista. We're doing a final test, and then Nvidia will push the drivers as beta drivers. More info on timing when I get it.

That's a separate issue, but one which we're going to addressing asap, as well. You'll hear more about it in not too long.

Yes, that is fixed for v1.1. I overlooked that and will add it to my devlog. Thanks!

That's just Admiral Elbow's ship from the old player vs beta tester battles.

Hello all!

Due to popular request, we've added the Age of Piracy subforum! This is a perfect place to discuss all things nautical and piratical! Have questions about the history of the Age of Sail? Seen a great movie/tv show and want to share? Experience with visiting and/or sailing a real tall ship?

So, let's get on with the discussion!!!

Happy Sailing!
