Progress, in the open

NFS is closed-source, so the diary is the commit log. Every milestone is written up.

Jump to Lightspeed

Squadrons, space missions, Master Pilot, Deep Space, stations and relics, Kashyyyk zones, plus factory, armor decay and pet growth fixes. Seven staff joined.

Multipassenger vehicles

Following Recast pathing inside buildings, development turned to vehicles that carry a group.
