I know we have limited information. Does anyone know if Eric and Team matrix are ok? Its one thing to not have any information due to work/family and lack of time its another if you are laid up sick. Does anyone know if the Devs are ok healthwise?

If they have to sit home and can not work alone on DW2, they could sit down and write some text, just as we do.

Even with a flu, they could write some text and post pics.


Meanwhile, I play of course DW1.
But I am in an age, where I am close to need glasses... and DW1 is a pain regarding clear typo

They're seeing heart, lung, kidney damage and now blood clots in young people with no cholesterol problems that have caused fatal strokes.

By the way:
What I really would love to see is the way Roger Bacon implemented Battle Stats!
Use the Bacon Mod and press Ctrl+S to see how the Ship has done so far.


What would be even better is a list showing what ships it has fought against and where.

Right now I just read Mission accomplished and it is missing even the info what mission it has accomplished...

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The pandemic has disrupted things a bit in our company as all our staff have been working remotely for a couple of months now, but Elliot and I are both well and so far our other team members are staying well too. I hope you and yours have been able to stay safe and well. We've been in crunch mode getting some final features squared away to start external testing and this has pushed back other priorities. It's taken longer than we expected, but we're very close. Once we hit that milestone, more information will be coming your way very soon.

Regards,

-Erik

Thank you for your work.

DWU already supports this. I often use kanji in my ship names. I'm sure DW2 will as well.

Status: offline 		Yes, there will be a game editor as in DW1.

Just a quick note to let you all know that a small initial alpha test has begun, organized from our veteran DW1 tester group. When we're ready for a beta test, that will be posted here and we'll be recruiting publicly.
