hiya peeps,

I just wanted to drop an update on the status of the CD4 overhaul. Besides the build, a lot of new features were being developed simultaneously. I've deployed most of them in Dead End and Columtreal; as I finish tweaking some bugs that have popped up, I'll start rolling them into D8/Hathian. Some of these new features to come are:

1. Player Registration Portal
2. Group Registration Portal
3. MicroNotices V2
4. Turf System
5. Group / Rank Rosters

The build is priority still. I have noticed a lot of activity on the sim, in terms of players already RP'ing, so that's been pretty exciting to see. I'm working quickly to finish the main buildings which have been RP hotspots before -- I'm really putting effort in details! Here's the overall plan I'm sticking to:

1. Major RP Building Shells go down
2. Filler/fascade buildings go down in between
3. Texture touch-ups on exterior of buildings (I shift-copy a lot of facade buildings; will customize each at that point)
4. Furnish RP areas (doing the furnishing in one shot so I can re-use the same sculpts/textures for furniture rez efficiency -- existing furniture setups will likely get redone)
5. City Props (killer realistic props are already done; just need to place them!)

If you're liking what you see so far ... just keep in mind it's less than half of what I have in mind 😉 RL has been crazy busy this month, but as things are starting to settle again, I'll be picking up the pace on the build.

One of the features I am going to be pushing out ASAP (within a week) is the group registration portal -- we can get your ideas officially put into review for gangs, businesses, etc.

Let me know how things are looking!
