Panic is definitely starting to set in<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been super busy with various things over the past few days, but the main thing I&#8217;ve been working on is the Starsim website. There&#8217;s still a fair bit of writing and organising that I need to do.<\/p>\n<p>It likely isn&#8217;t very mobile compatible yet, but I&#8217;ll get to that.<\/p>\n<p>I also spent a while working with the plugin developer mentioned in the last update, to get their plugin packaging properly in UE5. We managed to get it all sorted, and thankfully that meant I was able to get dev build 0.220.5 out of the door and live on Steam.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still planning to release the alpha tech demo to the Discord community in around 3 weeks for some intensive bug testing ahead of the Steam Next Fest on October 3rd, and to that end, I have the following to-do list;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Finish the Starsim website<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Finish and polish the Main Menu, the Multiplayer Menu, and the Settings Page.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Update and polish the Main Menu background sequence.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Move the ship&#8217;s starting location so that Earth is visible from the Conference Room window.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Add the ability to sit in chairs around the ship, but most importantly at the Bridge stations.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Fix the prop system so that you can pick up objects around the ship again.

(Also broken in UE5)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If I can get all of that done by the 1st September, then that gives me a whole month for;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Fix any bugs found during the September testing period.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Finish the Bridge interior, including the other crew stations.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Add the VIP quarters to B Deck and finish that corridor ring.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Add the security stations on B and F Decks.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Add all the actual reactor systems for proper cold start procedures.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Hook up A Deck to the electrical system properly.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Add additional panels to the rooms so that you can turn off the lights etc.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em> Make a cold-start tutorial mission.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Will I get it all done in time?
