Phoenix Game Development

I have finished a complete set of complex build testing, and the test were mostly successful, the project did work as expected. However, there were quite a few bugs found that had gone unnoticed until now. Most of them were minor, and were fixed very quickly, the rest should be fixed in the coming weeks. […]

I have run into quite a few more issues, which took some time to solve. These were only uncovered after extensive testing of the build, however the vast majority of them have now been fixed. The issues were mainly related to travelling over long distances, through many star systems, and orbiting stellar objects and planets. […]

The server seems quite stable now. There were some issues with variables not being saved, and some issues with the database, etc, but these have been solved. The server setup was actually easier than I thought. It has been running continuously for some time, with multiple clients connecting and reconnecting, etc, and there have been […]

I have spent this week extensively testing the build using the live server. This is the most complex set of tests that I have done so far. There have been quite a few issues identified, but the vast majority of these have been minor, and have been fixed. There are a few more complex issues […]

The final guided tutorial went reasonably well. I identied several issues, most of which are now fixed. There are some issues with the orbital mechanics system which still aren’t fixed though, I am in the process of fixing these now.

The preliminary testing and bug fixes for the crafting system are done. There were no major issues here, thankfully. I have also tested hunting, cooking, and other survival elements, in addition to crafting. I have also tested and made improvements to the inventory system. There was an issue where the currently selected item wasn’t saving […]

I have completed more testing and debugging, and so far, things are still going well. I have also created another guided tutorial, this time focusing on crafting. There were some issues with this too, but most of these issues seem minor.

Most of the major issues that I identified are fixed. There seems to be a few intermittent issues which I will look at later, but I am not too concerned about these. There is still quite a bit of testing and debugging to do before the project can be considered to be in Beta.
