Stay Tuned

Keep an eye on the post before this one because I will be adding updates just so you can see how the piece is progressing.  Otherwise, you can wear it in 3.5 when that comes out.  As some of you may have noticed 3.0 is getting some love, a lot of love, and darnit it deserves it.  In fact, the pop 4.0 team that has been adamantly telling you fans for months that all our efforts are being focused solely on pop 4.0 has been putting in some hours on 3.x.  The result, should be glorious and I hope you fans appreciate the additional injection of love going into 3.x.  If you are a fan of the series then you should definitely revisit pop post 3.5/6/7 updates because there will be wonderful goodies to be had.  I suspect that 3.5 will be landing soon... a few weeks most likely.  The gap then between 3.5 and 3.6 should be longer to receive some meatier updates.

You are surely thinking, "What the!? Why are you not working on pop 4.0 we want it now!"  That sir is a totally valid and appropriate question.  I ask you though... why is it now pop 3.5 instead of pop 3.0... the original product was far from perfect.  Everything needs to be tested, observed, critiqued and finally reworked to make an ever changing product that oozes polish and... you guessed it, love.  We here on the pop dev team love pop... in fact, while working on the product we are basically puking rainbows of pure awesome all over our keyboards.  This just in, rainbow puke does not short circuit keyboalas0031ilk1j2308uasd0asiuw!!31o01

In essence, there are a few features we might like to try, in the long run, that would benefit 3.x and by extension 4.0 which I shalnt mention in this lowly blog post.  At the very least, there are features I would like to test and try before besetting upon our code foundation the lore of pop 4.0.  There are lots of posts on development theory on this blog dating back for almost a year now, maybe take a look at those and wonder.  I suppose the statement is this, we are currently developing both 3.x and 4.0 side by side because there is a significant amount of overlap.  You want knighthood orders in 4.0?  So do we, so lets code it once and do it right, and let you kids stumble across all our bugs in the first go around.  

More updates to come, just thought I should mention some of these things rather than make a huge official post on the forum.  However, if you readers are bored, please generate some buzz on the TW forum about the upcoming 3.x, I assure you some of the changes are nothing short of mind blowing.

Cheers,
Sairtar
