    But fellpec is talking about the biweekly work updates that @jables was doing. They seemed to have stopped. Probably because we got a ton of new features. Still, it was pretty neat to see what was going on. I liked them. :)

    These work updates were nice, I wanna have more of them!

    Anyways, I hope they just got delayed because they are designing a new Kickstarter; cause we definitly need a new Uber-Kickstarter! Why? Because Uber has to update their engine to Vulkan. Engine is still not capable of delivering 60 FPS when having 10.000 Boom Bots on Screen. (tested yesterday) Wait, this isn´t something to measure a game engine?! Sure, but it would be AWESOME to have fluently moving 10000 Boom Bots, wouldn´t it? :D

    Oh, and of course Human Resources was a great concept, so I´m hoping for that one to get a revival!

    I guess with the delays in save/load, they didn't really have any clear plan on what and when things will be happening other than "finish this first"

    I'll write something up in more detail, but the basics follow.

    Currently we are working on stablity, save/load for playfab games, save/load for galactic war, and server lag.

    Also balance things, planets, and some other stuff :p

    Can we get @tvinita give an update on the balance forums? I'm sure most people would love to hear more about what he's doing in the near-future.

    We tend to hold off on most balance things until they hit PTE so we get actual feedback from playtesting. Balance just in writing turns into theorycrafting most of the time :(

    question (out of curiosity, not out of demand) will the pick "up a replay from any point and play" and "replay, savefile, same thing" goals from the past still be happening?

    Well I think a lot of people on here enjoy a bit of theory crafting- to the point have you considered posting an idea with a 'theory crafting what does the community think' thread? It would keep plenty of people occupied for ages ;) I also think it *could* (potentially) lead to some novel ideas... I duno, probably a bad plan actually... wait I think I'm theory crafting about theory crafting, is that a thing now?

    *ok now I'm just confused*

    /post.

    Edit: Sorry I just couldn't resist :p

    no, technically theory crafting on theory crafting around the idea of theory crafting ;)

    What about a post-PTE patch text wall, like he has done in the past? Those were awesome!

    I very much doubt Uber have time to do the old style livestreams. The PA team is limited in size and the rest are likely working on something else - time is of the essence ;)
