Some stats on 1.3:
36th public patch since launchReleased 41 days after 1.2.5The map editor is the single largest feature to be implemented in WFTO since launchDevelopment on the editor began in late June, shortly after the release of Patch 1.1, and it became the primary focus for most of the development team after Patch 1.2Following the events described in “WFTO: A Year in Retrospect” it was unknown if a map editor would be possible – to ensure the continuation of the project it was not explicitly planned for going forwardsAs a result, implementing the editor required major reworks to the core framework of WFTO, and was described as “like creating an aircraft carrier, then retrofitting the engine while at sea and under attack from nuclear weaponry, while also being in space and unable to breathe!”The mirroring tools elicited over fifty “impossiblés” from Nano, which we’ve come to learn means “That’s a lot of work, but not impossible … It’ll cost you the soul of your firstborn child!”24 bug fixes and 42 other changes not including all the work that went into the new features!
