We can now dynamically add and remove swarmers to control how many are on the screen:

We are down today. Switching to fiber internet and a hard line connection. This should fix streaming for Chief Chats.

Okay internet is back, and MUCH faster for uploads. Streaming should be much better now. We had to get some additional ethernet and wifi run, but the main streaming PC is now wired instead of wifi.

Spent today studying blender for rigging. It's kind of a mess compared to Maya.

Fixed some issues I had with blended weight painting, it’s still clunky feeling but I can get it to work now. Might just stick to Maya.

Had a lot to catch up on today with the start of school for kids.

Harry is looking at networking the swarmers using a simple spline based path as a test. Looking forward to connecting with him soon to follow up on this.

We also have a test build of the swarmers that is nearly ready for you all to try. I’ll be reviewing it tomorrow.

Mostly prep for the big hurricane.

Did some more blender work, moving on to testing some plug-ins for live booleans and chamfers for mechanical modeling of mechs.

It's time to stream again. I think we should do AC6 on Thursday and get people's impression on the new Armored Core. Good test of the new internet connection too.

Today I started reviewing art files that still need to be finished before sending them out to the artists. Very excited to get the new Geesuit rigged with the helmet.

I'd like to make this the standard one we use in our promotion videos and screenshots.

Okay should be all set up to stream. See you tomorrow at 11am!

Armored Core won't be available to me until 3pm, so instead we will stream it on Friday at 11am [PT]. Sorry for the mixup!

It's Armored Core today. Then we can discuss on Chief Chat tomorrow!

Oookay. Spoke with Randi about getting a new beastie concepted up.

Also looking at sprucing up the terrain for the upcoming swarmer technical test. Hoping to get this running on AMD hardware tomorrow to see how it performs. So far we've only run it on nVidia.

When the technical test ships out we want to get everyone's feedback on a) if it works on their system and b) performance and bugs. (soon).

Demo drops tomorrow. Getting everything arranged. This will be the swarmer tech demo and you can load up as many as you like and see how your PC handles it.

This demo will be available to both backers and non-backers.

Sales advertising flyer created and sent. Believe it or not, this takes all day to do.

Also got feedback from community about Swarmer issues with AMD cards. Will be taking this up with AMD engineers next week.

DATE: 02-SEP-2023

Okay, we worked on the AMD swarmer bug based on the feedback we got (thank you!). Need AMD's help on this one and will reach out on Tuesday.

Also worked on a new unified font set for the game and promotional materials today. Eyes are blurry from looking at so many fonts for hours.

Increased sale to 50% too and refunded those that bought at 35% the difference.
