Intro

September was a chaotic month, and it will probably precede an outwardly quiet October. That tends to be the general cadence as we deliver products and build others simultaneously. We released updates for Illuvium: Arena and the IlluviDex, which took a lot of our time, but other things were also happening in the background. We also learned a lot of lessons that will help speed things up in the future.

介绍

9月是一个混乱的月份，在此之前可能会迎来一个表面上平静的10月。这往往是我们在交付产品的同时创建其他产品的一般节奏。我们发布了《Illuvium: Arena》和《IlluviDex》的更新内容，这花费了我们大量的时间，但同时也发生了一些其他的事情。我们也吸取了很多教训，这将有助于加快未来的进程。

Illuvium: Arena 伊鲁维奥:竞技场

Releasing PB2 (Arena 0.2.0) was a significant milestone with a great reception. The feedback has been helpful so far (even the negative) so keep it up. In the background were many optimisations, most not making it into 0.2.0 or even 0.2.1, but we expect them to be ready soon. We’ve recently added a few big brains to the team that have done a fantastic job ensuring that the code is maintainable and extensible. Over time people will appreciate how important that is. The bug rate was high but has dropped precipitously, allowing more time to add more incredible features. We get closer and closer every day to achieving our goal of the first-ever cinematic-quality auto battler.

发布PB2 (Arena 0.2.0)是一个重要的里程碑，受到了很大的欢迎。到目前为止，反馈是很有帮助的(即使是负面的)，所以保持下去。在后台进行了许多优化，大多数都没有进入0.2.0甚至0.2.1，但我们预计它们很快就会准备好。我们最近在团队中增加了一些天才，他们在确保代码的可维护性和可扩展性方面做得非常好。随着时间的推移，人们会意识到这是多么的重要。漏洞率虽然很高，但已经急剧下降，这让我们有更多时间去添加更多不可思议的功能。我们越来越接近我们的目标，我们的第一部电影质量的汽车战斗。

Highlights 摘要

Major rework of the VFX system to increase the frame rate on lower-spec machines.
Research into ways to reduce texture sizes while keeping the same (if not better) visual fidelity.
Simulation reworks to ensure better communication between server and client.
Significant improvements to the Simulation Core
Targeting works much better now, with fewer errors and a much smoother experience.
Changes to the attributes of abilities give us much more freedom for the behaviour of the next Illuvials.
UI changes to clarify information and goals.
Significant improvements to the Server connection resulted in connection bugs dropping by orders of magnitude.

Note: Patch 0.2.2 probably won’t arrive in October, but if you have a low-end machine, the wait is worth it.
