(11/07 13:41:25) Ami Renee Glessad: other team leads include Ametist, and Tweek,
(11/07 13:41:42) Ami Renee Glessad: Tweek just recently, as of this week, handed control of the site back over to myself and Ametist,
(11/07 13:42:00) Ami Renee Glessad: his teams work is complete, and we believe that the railings in the main shaft for the elevators are fully secure,
(11/07 13:42:06) ShilohOBrien cheers
(11/07 13:42:11) Ami Renee Glessad: though we'll keep hammering away at them to make sure nothing comes loose...

(11/07 13:42:35) Ami Renee Glessad: Assuming that we don't run into any more issues with the main floor elevator at the base of the Shaft,
(11/07 13:42:38) TOOO keeps Relto book handy!
(11/07 13:42:57) Ami Renee Glessad: im hoping that we'll have Descent ready to visit along with any other projects slated to come forwards by the end of the year/start of the next,
(11/07 13:43:01) ShilohOBrien makes note to bring a sledgehammer with her next time.
(11/07 13:43:02) Ami Renee Glessad: im not sure what the timing is there, heh.

(11/07 13:43:42) Korov'ev: sooner than later, or later than sooner
(11/07 13:43:53) Cyion claps his hands
(11/07 13:43:55) Ami Renee Glessad: we have a temporary fix in place for the moment that we're hoping will hold out for the Phase 1 release to be sometime this year.
(11/07 13:44:05) Ami Renee Glessad: if it doesn't hold out, I'm sure Calum will update you on that.
(11/07 13:44:06) TOOO cheers
(11/07 13:44:15) IndigoMoon cheers
(11/07 13:44:28) Prad: that why IwonKs feet hurt - the little damage on the floor elevator forced her to walk the spiral by foot
(11/07 13:44:31) Cyion cheers
(11/07 13:44:43) IndigoMoon: ouch
(11/07 13:44:49) Ami Renee Glessad: um. beyond that, we're looking forwards to setting up a full release party, but we're not going to announce a date until we're certain the fix is holding.
(11/07 13:44:52) TOOO: Next tim,e, wear shoes
(11/07 13:45:23) Ami Renee Glessad: ah, oh, and I'll apologize for one thing, we've had to replace the hanging tapestries over the main floor. due to their age and some wear and tear the last decade from frequent floor operations, they've shone signs of fraying dangerously,
(11/07 13:45:39) Ami Renee Glessad: we've replaced the rugs with, unfortunately, shorter copies we found in the storage room,
(11/07 13:45:52) Ami Renee Glessad: we're hoping to restore the original rugs but that's a tricky process given how large they are
(11/07 13:46:00) Calum Traveler: you can blame me on this one
(11/07 13:46:04) Calum Traveler: i was the one that noticed the fraying.
(11/07 13:46:06) Calum Traveler starts to laugh
(11/07 13:46:23) Ami Renee Glessad: yes, it was quite the shock to see the damage...
(11/07 13:46:41) Ami Renee Glessad: anyways, um. i think that's all I have? may I...?
(11/07 13:46:43) Calum Traveler: sure
(11/07 13:46:45) Ami Renee Glessad bows

(11/07 13:47:05) Calum Traveler: Descent isnt the only project with updates
(11/07 13:47:14) Calum Traveler: For Certain I can Announce:
(11/07 13:47:19) philipgr claps his hands
(11/07 13:47:26) TOOO cheers
(11/07 13:47:28) Calum Traveler: MahrnGestoy and one other project are quite close to being released
(11/07 13:47:38) Calum Traveler: if Descent is delayed, you can rest assured these two arent
(11/07 13:47:54) Calum Traveler: on that other project however, i do have to issue a correction
(11/07 13:47:58) TOOO woo-hoos!
(11/07 13:48:00) ShilohOBrien cheers
(11/07 13:48:06) Calum Traveler: what we were calling "Pod 9 - Rigilahs" is not that pod.
(11/07 13:48:25) Calum Traveler: due to noticable conflicts with the solar positioning of the sun and the day night cycle compared to where we expected the pod would be
(11/07 13:48:43) Calum Traveler: we've deduced that the Pod is actually on the other side of the *planet* from where we expected it to be if it were Pod 9, Rigilahs.
(11/07 13:49:03) TOOO: As long as it's noit Karn Evil 9
(11/07 13:49:07) Calum Traveler: it's thanks to a fortuitous discovery of a burried sign, as well as countless math calucations
(11/07 13:49:20) Calum Traveler: that we now know what we were calling "Rigilahs" is infact Pod *10*
(11/07 13:50:00) Calum Traveler: so, i apologize for the databases that need updating, but, well, better to be accurate than inaccurate, yes?
(11/07 13:50:27) Calum Traveler: as for update timing, rarified?
(11/07 13:50:37) Calum Traveler: i believe we're planning to lock things down for Q4 in short order?
(11/07 13:50:46) Prad: it's seven units off the guessed position ... as seven off nine ...
(11/07 13:50:54) rarified: I'm going to put out a call shortly to freeze development for Q4
(11/07 13:51:00) Calum Traveler:
(11/07 13:51:01) TOOO: *Rimshot!*
(11/07 13:51:13) IndigoMoon: heh
(11/07 13:51:17) rarified: Unfortunately I needed to update the Foundry server today with security fixes
(11/07 13:51:28) Calum Traveler: descent should be included in there once youre done with those.
(11/07 13:51:32) rarified: which have broken things for the test servers.
(11/07 13:51:44) Calum Traveler: but, well, we will have to test that floor elevator for certain.
(11/07 13:52:09) rarified: So the announcement will happen after I restore the whole cave infrastructure. Not restore, but
(11/07 13:52:12) rarified: get it working again.
(11/07 13:52:17) Calum Traveler nods his head
(11/07 13:52:20) Calum Traveler: makes sense
(11/07 13:52:40) Calum Traveler: but yeah, we should be locking things down this weekend, bare minimum
(11/07 13:52:47) rarified: We **do** have a lot to push for Q4 and hope to do so this month, before the
(11/07 13:53:09) rarified: holiday season so we don't throw a wrench in Minisunda's plans.
(11/07 13:53:30) Calum Traveler: im certain if MahrnGestoy gets released before the holidays, MInasunda is going to take full advantage XD
(11/07 13:53:39) Thumbs up from rarified
(11/07 13:53:45) Calum Traveler: right then, any questions?
(11/07 13:53:51) Calum Traveler: ill only take a few since we went on for a bit
(11/07 13:54:10) PodHopper: No questions in the queue.
(11/07 13:54:14) Calum Traveler: any from audience?
(11/07 13:54:17) Calum Traveler: going once.....
(11/07 13:54:22) ural: apha decent opening date
(11/07 13:54:29) Calum Traveler: Ah, right
(11/07 13:54:38) ScottMiller: Aew beta testers needed?
(11/07 13:54:44) Calum Traveler: well, as far as *Alpha* goes, id wager as soon as rarified gets things updatd.
(11/07 13:55:06) rarified: Descent's first phase is already in the repository.
(11/07 13:55:12) TOOO cheers
(11/07 13:55:19) Es.Ster cheers
(11/07 13:55:20) Calum Traveler: ScottMiller, ill be pinging the testers role once everythings up to make sure we're not going to deal with any problems
(11/07 13:55:33) Calum Traveler: if youre in the OpenUru discord, and a member of the testers group, youll get the notif.
(11/07 13:55:55) Thumbs up from IndigoMoon
(11/07 13:55:58) Calum Traveler: i AM going to be looking for a group test of a few things,
(11/07 13:56:15) Calum Traveler: so expect some co-op testing goals for Prime
(11/07 13:56:33) Calum Traveler: any more questions?
(11/07 13:56:54) TOOO is psyched for Descent!
(11/07 13:57:05) Calum Traveler: going once...
