New Versioning Number system

[expand type=showmore ] We are changing the way we do version numbers to simplify them going into the future. The one will represent a "release" version and the octet following it will the title update or major patch version we are on. 1.2.1 1 = Release version 2 = Title Update (Major Update) 1 = Minior Fix/bug fixes etc [/expand]

Some Summer Art to go with the Season!

It would seem Winters cant even get a break when shes on vacation...
We now have a new system for our community to follow along on development. This website will break down all the major systems that are coming each patch. It will not include hotfixes/bug fixes. Sections inside TBD can be included randomly if we are ahead of schedule Trello and the old picture Roadmap system will be removed going into the future. https://www.notion.so/cepheusprotocol/Cepheus-Protocol-31f1b25ce00148d6844825f4a0c0bc08

Patch Notes

[expand type=details]

• San Francisco North was moved out of the Open World Master to reduce user confusion that it some somehow finished (It was added so people interested could track along on how it was shaping up and get a nice Vista in the distance) It will be readded in the future
• Logic Determining where you can and cannot build was tweaked to produce more reliable results this includes the Capture Truck ( There are still some problematic areas where extreme elevation changes is a problem we are still working this problem internally hope to have a final solution in the next few days)
• New UI relating to simplified Card system
• Cleaned up some bridge issues relating to navigation
• CERC threat system has been improved to make them more spatially aware of their surroundings and which threats should be targeted first
• (Hopefully) finally fixed buildings not 'unfolding' when loading saves
• Updated 'face direction after moving' logic (for right click held move commands, and a bit more) to better enforce the direction to face if the unit hasn't recently fired their gun (if they're actively shooting, they will still ignore it)
• Fixed the 'formation move handler' not having enough 'walkable floor angle' to navigation our world - it now has a proper 60 degrees value (along with some other fixes), preventing it from getting 'stuck' when trying to walk up certain sidewalks or other angle issues (pretty massive fix to several pathfinding issues)
• Updated the Helipad to use 'null nav' rather than obstacle nav for its 'unwalkable' areas, to prevent units from thinking they can 'walk up the sides'
• Resolved an issue with Engineers who are 'already in position to construct something' sometimes failing to do so (the 'overlap' was triggering before its signal was tied to 'start construction' - now, it's fixed)
• Updated the Tutorial Slides to no longer spawn since we will be doing newer tutorials in the future and they are outdated
• Fixed building construction points erroneously acting against the Guard Tower capacity
• Load Game / General Performance tweaks

The Pangu Virus has been unleashed in San Francisco, turning thousands of innocent lives into mindless beasts that feel no pain and have no fear of death. With each passing hour, the Pangu Virus evolves, creating new and ever more horrific mutations with one goal in mind… Spread.

You are Captain Winter, a military officer fighting alongside the Center for Epidemic Research and Control(CERC). With a massive arsenal and the resources of the US Government behind it, you and CERC will stop at nothing to ensure the terror of the Pangu Virus does not escalate beyond containment, even if a whole city and millions of lives must be sacrificed.

• Cepheus Protocol is inspired by classic RTS games such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, alongside the book World War Z.
  
• Survive if you can against a relentless enemy that evolves and grows more powerful with each day.
  
• Build specialized units from a variety of bases that can be placed anywhere in the open-world map.
  
• Battle those infected by the Pangu Virus across four open-world islands, featuring unique and challenging environments.
  
• Choose from three combat tiers that play to your style. Each tier has specialized units, equipment, and weaponry.
  
• Engage a relentless horde of infected which numbers grow larger and stronger with each territory captured as you battle for control of San Francisco.
  
• Hunt Patient Zero, who races across the city seizing territory. Each capture zone increases her population as the virus spreads and possesses all organic matter.
  
• Form an alliance or side against the Anarchist and Police factions, which struggle to survive among the madness that has enveloped San Francisco.

Note: Steam Remote Play is for allowing your friends to try out the game if you already have purchased it. It's not for online co-op: that is is planned in the current roadmap, but is not complete yet
