A new build… oh my!

Lots going on with Ground Branch these days and as we get ready for Early Access we will be releasing more frequent builds to get the most testing possible. So build 1020 for client and server is available now. We also are down to our last 70 crowd funding pre-order keys and once they are gone you won’t be able to play Ground Branch until the official Early Access release. So tell all your friends and lets get then sold!

So, for the new build there are a few very important items to cover……

1018 is finally here!

Go to Steam to get the latest update of Ground Branch.

We continue to improve the overall usability and player experience with Ground Branch. Online stability has been greatly improved as we are now starting to refine the gamemode systems that will allow us to polish up existing gamemodes and more rapidly introduce new ones to try. As with the previous public build, the overall Ground Branch experience continues to improve greatly.

1017 Ground Branch update is ready!

Go to Steam to get the latest update of Ground Branch.

ps

The main focus of this release is stability and performance and therefore a lot of “under the hood” non visual work has been done. While still a work in progress, the online experience has gotten some much needed love and is now much more stable and reliable. Overall performance increases have been achieved with the move to Unreal Engine 4.15.2 combined with reworking some core game systems. Still lots of work to do in these areas, but the current Ground Branch gaming experience feels much better than previous builds.

This build has been a long time coming, but its finally here. We continue to fix and rework features from proof of concepts and half done ideas to full featured game systems. Please make use of the ingame bug tracking feature to report issues that you find. It really helps us out!

While we have been spending a lot of effort on making sure Ground Branch is stable and performs well before heading into the final push for Early Access, there are a few connectivity issues with this build. We really wanted to get them sorted before putting a new build out, but given family time over Christmas and some personal challenges some of us are currently facing (Please see previous news post), we decided to put one out now instead of holding off any longer. With people being off work or out of school our hope is the added testing will help us work through the problem. We will also be doing a follow up build with more fixes and some new stuff that wasn’t quite ready very shortly after the new year.
