As always, great newsletter.
Yarnilla Nailed it.
Brad's insight as to why VR is making this kind of community game is spot on.
I truly enjoyed the conversation on AI as well which I have to admit got my creative imagination churning. So many fun possibilities there. Makes me wish I was a programmer.

Haha yes, it gets close to zero degrees Celsius (0c) where I live so I need to warm myself up with CM content titles :P
Glad you liked it mate :)

Tell me about it, I got roped into some farm work the other day while it was snowing :/
Oh, that sucks man! Hopefully, it went quick and wasn't too bad...
If you read the last newsletters and the other recent published informations between the lines, you get a rough sense of the actual progress.
On the AI side they changed the complete system behind it and are now writing tools to create different NPC behaviours.
On the graphical side they switched to the new Unity features and contantly improving the look of the game.
The other systems like acclimation, carfting etc. are on their way to be implemented in a first version, that will need a some more iterations before it is finished.
They are still working on the new home page, seems they have still problems with the background systems like account management etc.
If I missed something or be wrong on one part, please add or correct ^^
Not very percise information, but at least I like to hear that they are working on other stuff than combat.
The lack of precise infomation is also a sign, that we are still far away from release, which should be about 1 year after testing starts. But pre alpha is not running yet.
But I understand you, I also already had a few ups and downs in my excitement for Pantheon.
"Noooo..."
Every month I wait for the news letter or the latest stream. I am really excited for it to arrive, finding myself holding my breath while I wait. Then it arrives! Woo hoo... I devour the content with a smile on my face. Sated, sit back, smile and imagine the game being controlled by my fingers, then I snap back to reality and realise I have more waiting to do. Noooo...
What are you doing to me VR?
Ah well, deep breath required as I start holding it again.

And not to derail too much - if you are using gmail, the newsletter tends to show up in the "promotions" tab.
