Release Schedule
Since a lot of people are probably wondering when we're going to use the function suggestion forum ideas, I figured it might be beneficial to have a release schedule so that people know what's going on.

Basically, this is a schedule for what we're currently planning on doing. It'll be updated as we make progress on the updates and will also include information on possible side projects that we have lined up. I won't be giving away any update names, classified information, or anything that we want to be kept secret unless otherwise stated. Also won't be giving any set release dates since that usually leads to disasters and setbacks. The list follows a chronological order, so everything you see is how we plan on having things released. Side Projects and Main Pack extras do not follow the order of the main updates. See the bottom of the post for the meaning of certain statuses and whatnot.

Main Pack Additions

Terminology:
In Concept Phase = Gathering ideas, finding weapon design inspiration, determining if weapons need to be added or removed from the list
In Development = Coding and Modelling are in progress
Awaiting Release = Can be released at any time
On Hold = Not being worked on at the moment
Scrapped = Cancelled, no further development will be done

Coding Difficulties:
Easy: Basic coding, could be finished within weeks depending on time management
Normal: Average coding, might take the full two months we usually put in
Intermediate: Different types of code from what we normally make being handled, might take a little longer
Hard: Almost completely new code, will definitely take the whole two months if not longer
Legendary: Completely written from the ground up, will definitely take longer than two months to code
