What's the current outlook on getting shopping into Casaba?
TL;DRShopping is in active development but still being researched and worked out technically, since the system chosen now will underpin the whole game; no timing is given.
It's coming. I think people who have been looking through the files have figured out it's in active development. Stay tuned.
We're very excited about all the clothes and the shopping aspect that go into it, but there's a lot of technical aspects that go into shopping that, since we're ironing this out for the entire game, we've got to identify, right? We're kind of R&Ding how that's going to work, and everybody has a feeling about it and a perspective on it, and we're making good strides, and it's cool to start seeing some of it coming together.
It just feels like kind of a weight on you. The system we launch now is going to be the one that's the whole... Everything will be based on how we attach pants to characters right now.
That's exactly right. The tech that they're identifying now, that we're putting actively into what you can play with soon, is very abnormal for game development, right? You usually make a system, you scrap that system, you make a new system, you scrap that system about 15 more times, and then you kind of get to the system that you put out in the game. And we're going to try to do that quicker because of the kind of game that we're making. So it's a challenge. I think we're very confident in the tech that we're putting together right now.
