Any news on the o-c-o dev progress?

[Knife0ut]

Does anyone have any info in the state of development of the object-controlled-objects?

If thats J&L main focus right now, is it possible the next world will come after the o-c-o implementation? Duration of w12, w13 and w14 were all about year and a bit, so I was quite optimistic about upcoming w15 but it may be delayed to start with o-c-o and fix problems that may arise with it during w15.

Kinda in the dark here and just want to listen to what you guys know or your thoughts on that matter.

From what I understand, oco requires a rewrite of almost the whole game engine. Additionally progress is non-linear, meaning that without a good understanding of the game code itself, getting an update other than "still working on it" is somewhat meaningless. This is made worse by the reality that something like this can go from 'almost done' to 'completely starting over' multiple times before it becomes finished for real.

That said, I too would love an update on the current state of the work. This kind of stuff is extraordinarily fascinating to me

Spend 10 years developing walkable bridges so I can make fun of you for wasting your time

Loftar's still working on other stuff, from what we can see in his client code commits (and jorb codes absolutely nothing, so it's just Loftar).

I doubt World 15 will be postponed till OCO is out, since it'll probably not happen any time soon.

Devs are silent since last year, I am sure they hard focused on oco. That's why they ignore regular patches and forum. Big oco release - Autumn 2023. Save this post.

they do a devstream like 2 weeks before every reset
and in each one of these Prelude devstreams some poor sap in the twitch chat asks “hey guys how bout that oco are we resetting to implement oco”
and the past three times he’s been asked that Loftar goes “—oh yeah! I mean, we’ve been pretty busy generating a whole new world, but surely afterwards we’ll get sta- I mean, make some serious steps in oco development”


so yeah you can expect oco around the time of the next wipe and do that for the next 5 wipes too

Jorb said OCO next patch
