Hi all, just giving some advance notice that in preparation for the 1.0 release of the game I'm transferring to a new, bigger server.

I'm aiming to have minimal - if any - downtime, but I figured I'd let you know that it's coming soon, just in case at some point you experience connectivity issues with either the game, the website or the forum!

In terms of the update, the test team have been working away amazingly making sure it's all ok now since just after Christmas, and they're almost done, so it won't be far off!

I've been paying attention to the Steam reviews and the exception reports flowing into my inbox, and have been compiling a list of crashes and related stability issues to address. I haven't been able to get to them yet because I'm a leettle bit desperate to get multithreading out of the way, but upon my oath: as soon as 0.12.0 is released, there will be a reckoning.

Ever seen The Purge? I haven't, but it's like that, except with a lot more bugfixing and slightly less murder.



Part of said reckoning will be a change to more robust coding practices. Currently, when the game encounters a bug it fails immediately. Great for me as a coder trying to identify problems: terrible for you as someone trying to play a game.

Instead of doing that awful thing, I will adjust the code to absorb the error, log it to the bug report and kill off the creature responsible out of spite before attempting to continue. This will give us the best of both worlds, at the cost of creatures dying instead of losing their anchor to the third dimension and ascending into the space between worlds, or whatever actually happens to you when your position become NaN ("Not A Number"). Thinking about it now, killing them when that happens is probably a mercy.



As far as Multithreading 0.12.0 goes...it's aliiiive! (by specific definitions of the word "alive") The Species development build now has a "Multithreaded mode" and it doesn't crash when you switch to it! All my evil schemes are coming to fruition. Except the one with the dinosaur soldiers. I'm thinking it's probably best to cut my losses on that one at this point.

Multithreaded mode currently utilizes quite a bit more of the CPU than before (up to ~40% from ~15% on my laptop, which has a quad core processor) and provides a very noticeable performance boost at high creature counts. There's still a combination of refactoring, optimizing and bugfixing to do (if I can get that percentage up to 80% or more I'll be very happy), and I've somehow managed to turn delicious meat into an inedible object (whoops), but we're definitely getting there.



For science!

Quasar

• Vsync implementation has been improved

Had to sneak a few more in, sorry friends!

-Fixed dinos getting stuck on fences
-Fixed some buildings not removing their footprint upon moving
-Fixed egg pane displaying sex when it shouldn't be
-Fixed some sounds that keep playing after the day ends

Reverted new inputs that were causing issues with Blackwater.

I posted Early Access Build 20190128 of Allspace. This build includes additional netcode improvements. Ships will appear a lot smoother regardless of the enemy player's framerate and the targeting box is more accurate now.

Our lead developer made a wonderful in-depth explanation both in technical details and gameplay features.

If you come up with unique behavior on your design, as developers we would be very fascinated to see what you came up with as we have seen occasionally very unique behaviors coming out of the Ai.

Hello everyone!

We are working away on the next update of Executive Hockey, targeted for late February. This update will improve contract handling and make it much easier to see what's going on with the contract status of players on your roster. It's a fairly big update, so we are going to make sure it's working well before putting it out there, hence the lack of a recent smaller update.

Once again, if you are interested and able to write a review, please do so. Or if you would like to tweet or post anything to Facebook or Reddit or whichever social media site you prefer about Executive Hockey, please do so. Thank you for your support!
