Patch 1.31 ed Espansione Leviathans

Ci sta. Però al momento non è chiaro quando arriverà. Secondo me o riescono prima di fine mese oppure bisogna aspettare Settembre... però Tinto sta a Barcellona e non in Svezia quindi magari non fanno le ferie a Luglio. Non ci avevo pensato, a questo punto è possibile anche una patch a Luglio per EU4. Vedremo.

 

É stata rilasciata sotto forma di beta con password (come la precedente) una nuova beta patch, la 1.31.5.
Sembra abbastanza corposa, con varie modifiche a bilanciamento e risoluzioni di bug, oltre a qualche aggiunta (sia semplici aggiunte qualità-della-vita che più corpose come i nuovi monumenti promessi). Ecco il changelog completo:

Non ci sono ulteriori informazioni, se non che hanno l'intenzione di lavorare per un po' su questa beta, aggiungendo modifiche nel tempo (a differenza della 1.31.4 la cui versione beta è stata poi rilasciata ufficialmente senza ulteriori modifiche). Quindi immagino che per un po' non verrà rilasciata ufficialmente, ma rimarrà in beta e verrà aggiornata con modifiche. Poi ovviamente sembra essere questa l'intenzione, vedremo se sarà effettivamente così.

EU4 - Development Diary 24th of August 2021
Ciao e benvenuti a un altro development diary di Europa Universalis IV. É il primo da inizio estate, principalmente perché eravamo in vacanza e poi perché non possiamo sempre scrivere che "stiamo risolvendo bug". Da Settembre però ci saranno nuovi dev diary per nuove missioni e altre contenuto su cui stanno lavorando i Content Designer.

Due settimane fa abbiamo celebrato gli 8 anni dal rilascio di EU4 e sono circa 11 da quando abbiamo iniziato a progettarlo. É stato un lungo viaggio da quando io, @Besuchov e @King abbiamo iniziato a discutere su come proseguire dopo EU3. Il nostro obiettivo era di prendere tutto ciò che era in EU3 con tutte le sue espansioni, rimuovere le meccaniche peggiori e creare un gioco nuovo. É interessante vedere il risultato e divertente per me personalmente vedere quante persone hanno lavorato sul gioco durante l'ultima decade.



Metriche

Come succede a volte, non abbiamo molto nuovo contenuto da mostrate, quindi parlo di metriche del gioco, ovvero cosa è più popolare e come giocate le partite.

Prima di tutto, che tipo di gioco viene giocato ogni giorno?

Considerando tutte le partite di una singola giornata, il 51% sono normali partite singolo giocatore, il 44% sono partite ironman e il 5% sono partite multi-giocatore. Tuttavia questa non è tutta la storia, dato che un tipo di partite include più giocatori. Ogni giorno, circa il 13.7% dei giocatori gioca partite multi-giocatore, circa il 39,7% gioco una partita ironman e il62.3% una normale partita singolo giocatore. Il totale è più del 100% perché molte persone giocano a più di una modalità in una singola giornata.

Secondariamente, con quali nazioni si gioca?
Queste sono le 20 più giocate. Alcune sono nazioni formabili come Russia, Prussia, Spagna e Gran Bretagna.

1. Inghilterra 11.17%
2. Ottomani 9.65%
3. Francia 9.58%
4. Castiglia 7.91%
5. Bisanzio 6.60%
6. Austria 6.43%
7. Nazione Personalizzata 6.41%
8. Brandeburgo 5.81%
9. Ming 4.93%
10. Moscovia 4.78%
11. Portogallo 4.62%
12. Polonia 3.83%
13. Spagna 3.71%
14. Prussia 3.44%
15. Gran Bretagna 3.29%
16. Russia 3.24%
17. Svezia 3.24%
18. Venezia 2.38%
19. Olanda 2.10%
20. Timuridi 2.06%

Terzo, quali sono le modifiche più popolari del gioco?

Questi sono i top 10. Circa il 52% dei giocatori usa almeno un mod a settimana.

1. Graphical Map Improvements 11.8%
2. Chinese Language Mod for 1.31 11.3%
3. Extended Timeline 6.4%
4. Missions Expanded 4.3%
5. The Great Exhibition 3.5%
6. Governments Expanded 1.31 3.4%
7. EU4 Russian localisation LITE by GEKS 3.3%
8. Anbennar: A Fantasy Total Conversion Mod 2.8%
9. Flavour and Events Expanded 2.7%
10. Ages and Splendor Expanded 2.4%

Le localizzazioni russa e cinese sono popolari e se l'avessimo saputo probabilmente le avremmo incluse fin dall'inizio, come fatto in giochi più recenti. É anche bello vedere un mod che ribalta completamente il gioco come Anbennar nella top 10.

Stato del gioco
Quando abbiamo rilasciato la 1.31.5 a Giugno, pensavamo di essere in una situazione abbastanza decente per quanto riguarda le funzionalità e di aver portato Leviathan a uno stato abbastanza decente (tranne il "concentrate development"). Come detto in precedenza ad Aprile, uno degli obiettivi di questo nuovo studio era di cambiare la gestione a lungo termine dei bug nei nostri progetti e di focalizzarsi su vecchi problemi che sono presenti da anni. All'epoca come team abbiamo ridotto il numero di bug aperti di circa 600. Ora sono orgoglioso di poter dire che tale numero è aumentato e, dopo aver anche risolto tutti i bug di Leviathan che abbiamo introdotto, la quantità totale di bug non risolti è stata ridotta di ben 1083 a partire dal 1 Settembre 2020 e in questo periodo abbiamo risolto un totale di 2117 bug.




Ci sono ancora circa 500 bug da risolvere in EU4, ma questa è di gran lunga la situazione migliore in cui siamo mai stato il progetto. Con questo progresso speriamo di raggiungere un livello ancora inferiore per il rilascio della 1.32




Il team di Tinto è anche cresciuto, con molte persone assunte direttamente dalla community per lavorare come programmatori, artisti, qa, content designer e in altri ruoli. Abbiamo ancora bisogno di persone però:

https://career.paradoxplaza.com/jobs/1289608-ui-developer
https://career.paradoxplaza.com/jobs/1049816-engine-programmer

Roadmap
Per ripetere quanto detto in Aprile su come Tinto affronterà i prossimi sviluppi di EU4.

• Meccaniche a pagamento dovrebbe essere autonome e facili da mantenere
• Non rifare meccaniche importante quando ci sono ancora tanti bug
• Ridurre il numero di bug il più possibile
• Aggiungere più contenuto, come missioni, grafica e musica
• Migliorare le parti della mappa che non hanno ricevuto attenzioni negli ultimi anni

Che cosa significa per noi oggi? Beh, a breve inizieremo a parlare delle missioni che faranno parte del prossimo DLC a pagamento. A proposito di questo, il prossimo DLC consisterà di missioni, grafica e musica, mentre gli sviluppatori continueranno a focalizzarsi sulla risoluzione di bug, sull'aggiungere miglioramenti qualità-della-vita, sul bilanciamento e sul miglioramento dell'IA.

A proposito di bilanciamento, rifaremo Concentrate Development per la 1.32, ma vi spiegheremo come più avanti, in autunno.

La prossima patch, la 1.31.6, sarà solo una patch di compatibilità che dobbiamo rilasciare, mentre la 1.32 con tutti i bug risolti e i cambiamenti al bilanciamento è pianificata per un rilascio nell'ultimo trimestre dell'anno.
