Feb 27 BiWeekly Monday Q&A with Marcin

Facebook does not provide a link to the Q&A ahead of time, so you have to just wait for it to start, then click to enter. When finished, text highlights will be under the video window.

Highlights:

  1. 5:10 – They are working on the second wave now.
  2. 5:40 – The timeline is still looking pretty good.
  3. 5:50 – Translations are going full speed (it is a HUGE game)

Feb 13 BiWeekly Monday Q&A with Marcin

Highlights: 2nd Wave, Translations, Delay

The Q&A is over, but was recorded so you can watch it at any time. Highlights are included below the video window as usual.

Highlights:

  1. 4:55 – They are working on finishing ISS Vanguard 2nd Wave.
  2. 5:30 – Translations of the core boxes are ongoing.
  3. 5:45 – Of the work going on, ISS Vanguard probably had the biggest delay because of the amount of text to translate – it turned out to be a huge game.
