Patch Notes

Next patch will be a big level

Just wanted to drop an update so folks knew what was in-progress. See? New level! Or at least in-progress new level:



It's a Playground! Big ol' modern plastic-based playground jungle gym sort of thing. There's also some neat skating under it, which feels like a park built under a big ol' overpass:



Then the birds start bringing in their own stuff to improve it, and so on. It's fun!



Anyhoo, it ended up being one of our largest levels, so development on it's just taking a bit longer. This update cycle also ran straight into DICE and GDC, and we collectively lost at least 2 weeks to work and travel and talk prep surrounding all of that. Still though, see? Level! Yay!

The main design's essentially done. I just need to figure out one more bird-addition to shiny up one tiny corner of it, then I start implementing the missions and story and all that. Then the lengthy process where we test, refine, localize all text, test on consoles, and so on. Then, hooray, new level!
