How big is the team of active developers for Gamestudio? jcl, are you the only one working on it full time? I found some posts where you stated that you will hire some new developers after Marco and Doug left the company but it seems like that never happened? What about Wlad? Is he gone too?

We're having currently 4 developers, and will have 6 by the end of the year.

You won't see much of Wlad or other developers in this Forum because, well, they are developers, and busy with developing.

I am not working full time on Gamestudio, but most of the others are.

Just curious: do you have seperate teams for
GALEP and gamestudio, or are they working on both product lines?

We have separate teams, only I'm the poor guy who has to work on both.

I appreciate you share the info with us . Thanks!

Yes, thanks for your answer. Who the team members are and who works on what would also be interesting to know though.

This thread makes my day!!

Are there some bigger projects going on in the background which will surprise us? :p What are the full time developers working on?

When looking on the beta page one could get the impression that Gamestudio is in some kind of minimal life support mode until more developers join the team. Most features listed there are mini features which don't sound like they take very long to implement. Except maybe GED but that gets developed by an external developer who isn't part of the official Gamestudio team or is he?

Is it still you, André Weiß, Wlad and his son? Or did anything changed in the past?

What tasks are you assigning to the new developers?

We are indeed preparing a bigger game project. For this reason, I'll be less often in the forum in the next time than I used to be. Some of our developers are assigned to preparing this task, and the two more in fall will be too. This project requires some new features of the engine and editors that might on the long run mean major changes for A7 in the sections of networking, server, physics, and content import. However, I'm not able to tell more at this point.
