At this point I'm convinced "working on OCO" is an excuse not to make any meaningful improvements to any other portion of the game

Why would you say something so controversial, true, and brave?

I have faith that Loftar will solve object-controlled-objects. The ability for the player-character to walk on objects has plagued the game development industry for far too long and there's no better person to create this invention than Loftar. OCO will usher a new golden age in gaming. I bet Microsoft would pay Loftar billions for the technology so that Master Chief can traverse spaceships, pirates can walk on their boats, and Steve can ride on a pig.

TIL Doom engine couldn't handle 1 floor on top of other, reminded me of OCO

It's just glorified local coordinate system, a common thing in games. Can't be more than like two weeks of work even in worst case scenario of immense technical debt. If loftar was working even 1 hour a week on it, it would've been done by now. I'm guessing he's working on things that make him actual money rather than wasting time on this game. Like what programming things were even done for this world reset, just province borders and FEP tweak? I bet he got both of those done in under an hour. And what was the last major code change, new rendering? How long ago was that, like five years?
