TacOps Getting Game Manager Tools
Avacar reports that development continues on Wing Commander TacOps Online. Most of the play mechanics are nearly complete, so the project's schedule has been adjusted in order to get a suite of tools in place that will help game masters run their own campaigns. WCTOO is an electronic version of a popular fan made tabletop WC game. Curious Wingnuts can see the latest digital build here.
This brings us to Phase 6. Throw out all my old timelines and schedules; I've lost track of what was supposed to get done during the Alpha Phase 6. This is the new plan:
- Create a new overlay which allows "game managers" to edit ship stats on the fly, add new ships, delete ships, etc.
- Update the "game" database to include more information about who runs a game, who has permission like a manager for a game, etc.
- Update the user table to enable reverse game lookups, i.e. have games you're members of listed for you.
- Rebuild the front area to no longer be like the old WCTO page, but instead better reflect the fact that this is a dynamic site with updating games. Add features like "your games" "watch games" "create games" etc.
- Call for suggestions on the UI from users (all those ideas i've told you to hold on "until the future") and try to implement them.
