The Repopulation is a work in progress and the team has posted a new article detailing what is currently in the works and what is coming further down the road both from a technical and developmental standpoint.
The first thing covered is the Vision of the team, so here is the quick bullet points and below you will see an explanation of a couple points.
- Core vision has not changed from JC's original vision in 2013/14
- We are working on consolidating and unifying in game storyline
- Will be expanding the game to include multiple play styles
- Will not deter from the current core of the game
- Will not become pay to win for any play style
- Will be focused on clean and simple code/scripts
- Will be focused on systems that we can build upon for future expansions
The update heading to the game in the near future is one called "Condorslug" and players will immediately notice differences in the game world through heightmaps and shaders as well as new textures, a revamped tutorial as well as a server wipe.
Post-Condorslug, the team will continue to overhaul the world in two major pieces. Art and design will work on "remaking" the world, something that should come out in a single patch. The second piece will be the more intensive on spearheaded by the design and programming teams. All major systems will be checked and revamped and will undoubtedly take more time than the first part.
