Friday Facts #62 - The automation of Factorio

Posted by kovarex on 2014-11-28

Hello, Tomas is in India already, so the place is more empty again. The more empty it is, the harder we have to work to make for it :)

Friday Facts #56 - A lot of new stuff

Posted by kovarex on 2014-10-17

Hello, we have only 2 weeks left before the 0.11.0 release date. It is scheduled to 31. october. All the things in progress are starting approach the finish line, but as always before the release, it will be tight.There are quite a lot of things we want to deliver and multiplayer (mainly for lan and low ping games until 0.12 don't forget!) is one of those, not even mentioning the backlog of bugfixes we need to go through before the release.

Friday Facts #54 - Bug in bug reporting of other bug

Posted by kovarex on 2014-10-03

Hello, as you could get from the caption, the work during the week was pretty frustrating at times, but the more rewarding it felt when the problems were finally fixed. This time I decided to give you another peek to our different kind of bug battles.

Friday Facts #53 - Multikulti Multiplayer

Posted by kovarex on 2014-09-26

Hello, the summer is officially over soon. I have this tradition of denying it by wearing just a t-shirt as long as possible, so I'm getting less and less comfortable outside until I accept the defeat by the cold weather. The experience is, that the short days and ugly weather speeds up the work on Factorio as we tend to stay inside and code all the time.

Friday Facts #50 - Growing secretly

Posted by kovarex on 2014-09-05

Hello, Albert is back to Prague, so today we had 5 people in the same room working today. I can see that the team is growing, and the atmosphere is positive, as everyone is refreshed by the holidays and full of enthusiasm to make Factorio better. We are looking forward to be in the new office. I already feel the Factorio touch of the place in advance, the bigger the project is the more we feel the need to separate home and work. It might be a bad idea to say it here, but we have some kind of Factorio level up party prepared as well, so if you are in Prague that day and there are not 100 people coming already you are free to join:)

Friday Facts #48 - Effectivity in the long run

Posted by kovarex on 2014-08-22

Hello, apart few bugfixes, there isn't much of a progress this week in the absolute terms. Most of the work done this week was mainly to save time in the long run, so we should be able move forward faster. There are still some bugs in the 0.10.8 but these are not so critical, so 0.10.9 (stable candidate I hope), will get more time to accumulate more bugfixes.

Friday Facts #45 - The second wave

Posted by kovarex on 2014-08-01

Hello, I'm alone here today, Tomas is on yoga camp. We will switch during the weekend, as he will get back, and I will start my paraglide course. I hope you wish me no injury so I can continue to develop Factorio without interruptions.

Friday Facts #44 - Decision making

Posted by kovarex on 2014-07-25

Hello, welcome to the weekly dose of information that proves that we are not slacking :)

Friday Facts #39 - Digging too deep

Posted by kovarex on 2014-06-20

Hello, the stabilising (hopefully) 0.10.1 release is here along with the regular news from the Factorio development.

Friday Facts #37 - The 0.10 is here

Posted by kovarex on 2014-06-06

Hello, the Friday is here much sooner than expected as always. Albert just arrived back in Czech republic yesterday, so the team is localised again. Albert met with Pavel, the graphics reinforcements of our team, for the first time and it seems that they could get along quite well, so we can call these two our graphics department from now on :)
