I reviewed some specs including the one for the UI for purchasing a ship and for all our visual effects. We also reviewed the spec I'd written for an in-game bug reporting tool and I updated the spec based on the review. I think what we've got planned will be incredibly helpful to us and to the beta testers. And I edited the next ship guide – it should be posted later this week. We're excited to have gotten the new models from Akella.
Then, as promised, I did some more combat testing. Chain-at-sail testing didn't take too long. Within a few shots, I knew we had multiple bugs. In the spirit of "a picture is worth a thousand words," here's my bug report:
Please note that everything with a black background you see on the screen is used for debugging purposes – they're not actually a part of the game that you will see. Rusty made me put the big "Debug UI" on there just in case someone went nuts & posted this on the web without noting that it's debug UI, not game UI.
