Pantheon Testing May Begin By The End Of The Year, Beginning Of Next
Pantheon's May 2016 State of the Game is here with some potentially good news. According to Brad McQuaid, Visionary Realms would "love to start testing at the end of the year or the beginning of the next but again the game has to be ready and the content created."
As for the state of the game itself, the "combat 2.0" revision is nearing completion. "Mana Climates and the Atmosphere system" are slowly being fleshed out. The "NPC Dispositions and Behaviors" scripting language is entering internal testing phases. The "Perception and Quest systems" and their tools are "really coming together."
McQuaid also stated that Visionary Realms is actively looking to expand their team, "especially the World Building team." The team wants to make sure that there is "enough content" to start "external testing" before it starts and hiring on more World Building team is a large step towards that.
