We've name-dropped StarWear a few times, but there hasn't really been an update. What can you tell us about where it's at?
TL;DRStarWear now has a strike team with engineering and design support and a schedule, and Sean Tracy says it should reach players within the year, without giving an exact date.
Yeah, we have a super rigid schedule now, and actually I got involved just a couple weeks ago just to check in on it, because I'll be super open about what happened. We made all the content, tech art kind of did everything, but it was lacking a bit of engineering support and a bit of design support to finish it off. Now, that's all been addressed. There's a strike team all back together. They've got a really, really good schedule. It's not long. I'm not going to say exactly when, as that will be a roadmap or a Rich thing to talk about. He knows when it is, but it's within the year to get that out to the players. And a big part of it getting prioritized was the community asking for it. So gotta thank the community for that. That was great, that they got this invisible undersuit by accident is what happened. And this invisible undersuit kind of gave them some of what StarWear is meant to do. And people loved it. And of course they loved it. I was seeing jackets on armors and armors on T-shirts and like, awesome, cool, super cool. But I see people saying, oh, just give us back the undersuit. We don't want to half-ass the feature, right? Let's not just half-ass it. Let's get the full StarWear out there to you guys. So design's come in. Engineering support's already in. So they're already working together. A small change happened once we got the designers involved. It was literally some really simple stuff, like splitting up the cuffs of the gloves, because the undersuit is like one suit and we want to chop it into gloves now. So there's a couple pieces of it that required a little more content work, but it was only a month or two of content work, so we're not talking the end of the world. Again, I'm not giving a month or two estimate on when it's coming out. It could come out before the end of the year, but the team's all back together and we've got the right amount of support that needed to happen for StarWear.
