Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
In the most recent Tea Time with Slitherine, it was mentioned that the thing that is taking time for the Pacific DLC is back end stuff and not actual content, and it sounds like they will reveal more in a couple weeks. What do you guys think the back end stuff is? Personally I could see it'd still be things to deal with naval combat or maybe even naval invasion updates.
Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
I just watched it; Not exactly sure what "back end stuff" means. It could mean a lot of different stuff. Or it could be just the be phrase that he used. Marco's English is excellent, but he's still not a native speaker. Perhaps he means "loose ends?" But still, that too could cover a wide variety of issues from story elements to fixing minor little bugs or inconsistencies. But my money would be on fine tuning some of the new elements introduced in this DLC, whatever they may be. We already have been told that there will be new naval mechanics, but there probably are others too. New amphibious landings rules? New unit abilities? This is all total guesswork. I suppose we'll find out in a couple of more weeks (I hope).Thunderhog wrote: ↑Fri Jan 28, 2022 4:36 am In the most recent Tea Time with Slitherine, it was mentioned that the thing that is taking time for the Pacific DLC is back end stuff and not actual content, and it sounds like they will reveal more in a couple weeks.

Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
In computer science, a back-end (sometimes also called a dorsal) is a term designating an output stage of a software to produce a result. It is opposed to the front-end (also called a frontal) which is the visible part of the iceberg.
Here are some examples, to better understand the concept:
Here are some examples, to better understand the concept:
- In a store, there is a back room where the items are stored, and an office that ensures the proper operation of the store. It’s the back-end, everything that happens in the background without the customer realizing it. In that same store, there is customer service and displays. It’s the front-end, what the customer sees.
- In a model-view-controller architecture, the view is part of the front-end (user interface) while the model and the controller are part of the back-end (representation and data processing in the background).
- In a client-server environment, we consider that the client acts as a front-end while the server acts as a back-end.
- In the old Windows 3.1 operating system, the MS-DOS operating subsystem was considered the back-end while the graphical interface with which the user interacted was considered the front-end.

Oh! Thanks for that explanation! I have (obviously) no computer science training or background whatsoever.terminator wrote: ↑Sat Jan 29, 2022 5:15 pm In computer science, a back-end (sometimes also called a dorsal) is a term designating an output stage of a software to produce a result.

I hope for some optimisation (I lose the sound a short time from time to time for example).
Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
There is a history of the Devs delivering a update to Slitherline on the weekend [effectively Monday morning] and having the update appear Thursday.
Slitherline has a procedure for releasing software. Checks, verifications, and what not.
No one [other than Slitherline] knows what the process is and how long it should take.
Just how long it does take.
Having the wrong person sick, in the back room, can cause everything to slow down, and no one on the outside will know what is going on.

There comes a time on every project when it is time to shoot the engineer and ship the damn thing.

Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
I hope the Beta won’t be deployed at the last minute and brief...
Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
From the last announcement the Beta was to start in January, so by next Tuesday they are late [Feb 1].terminator wrote: ↑Sun Jan 30, 2022 5:16 am I hope the Beta won’t be deployed at the last minute and brief...
But after AO42E, I am sure they will take their time to get the Beta right.

Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
AO42E has already happened [July 21], the Beta was rushed and caused problems.
The 1.2.3 upgrade in Dec. included fixes to AO42E.
I am assuming that Slitherline learned from their mistakes and will not be repeating them.
Pacific DLC March?, AO43E July?

Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
Like the devs said before, it's two separate teams working on Pacific and 43 respectively. Pacific isn't slowing down 43, 43 just needs more time because they're making the alt history path and the historical path
Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
Why not merge the teams and get atleast one DLC done asap?
Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
Same, i will buy Paciffic asap after release, but im pretty sure i wont play it until i finished AO45. So if they ask me, they could release pacific and AO43 at the same time, i will buy both
But my focus is on finisheing one campaign before i start another

Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
Pacific is probably almost done man. Even if they did merge the teams 43 would still take a while as it's basically making two different paths. I'm sure there will be more news come either this week or next week. Remember to watch Tea Time with Slitherine on Thursday and ask in the chat. They do it on Twitch and youtube
Re: Back End Stuff Mentioned in most recent Tea Time
Will also buy Pacific, like I bought every DLC for panzer corps 1. Still haven't played the Red Army campaign.
