What progress can you give us on the mobiGlas rework?

So at the moment, we've been focusing mainly on other things. So star map design and so on. And the back end of the star map has been taking a lot of the focus aside from just little bits and pieces of features here and there. We're starting to ramp up a little bit on the mobiGlas now. So we're looking to do some visual prototyping work. What Chris Roberts wants to see, he wants to know, taking the new tech that we've got, all this 3D stuff and so on, what can we do to make the mobiGlas feel cool but still be usable. So the first stage of that is we're going to do some in-game prototyping and work out what can we do there? How cool can we make it look yet still be usable? So there's a bit of investigation to do there. And it's going to take some iteration between ourselves and also Chris Roberts, the game directors, and so on until they're happy with, this is what we want the mobiGlas to be. And then when that's signed off, then we can actually start to make the thing. So I don't know how difficult it's going to be, to be honest, because essentially, it's like we're making a new operating system almost. Once we've got that core in place, we know how it looks, how it works in 3D, and so on. Then in theory, it's just a case of porting all the old apps across. So take the mission manager and update that visually and so on. I think it's one of those things that once we've got over the initial hurdles, it'll start to speed up. But I'm not giving you any dates.

No, we don't do dates here. This is a good time to reiterate something you dropped kind of casually early on. We don't just want to do conversions of these things from Flash to Building Blocks. It's not just make the same thing. If you're gonna spend seven weeks, I'm just pulling numbers out of the air, converting this thing from Flash to Building Blocks and it's the exact same thing, why not take nine weeks and actually redesign it? Make it better, improve upon it. Look at some of these features that backers have been asking for for so long and take that effort to redo it and make it better at the time. It does mean it takes a little bit longer than just converting it over, but ultimately it's worth it in the end, or we hope it will be.

What we're aiming for is, this is the version of the mobiGlas, the final version of the mobiGlas. Once it's done, then maybe we'll polish it a little bit in future, but essentially it's good.
