PAST v0.03 Released - Dev Happening Fast

I've just shipped the v0.03 prototype version of PAST (Pack Attack: Starfield Troopers).  You can get it yourself here. (Citizen role required, see the #read-this-first channel for info.)

Once movement control was no longer a problem, things just seemed to start coming together. Most of the system could be directly ported from the Fallout 4 version, and much of what couldn't be ported could still be recreated in Starfield terms.

At this point PAST supports Spacers, Ecliptic, Crimson Fleet and Va'ruun enemies, and it's starting to feel genuinely playable to me. If you've played PANPC, you'll quickly recognize the gameplay now in PAST.

I've been pleasantly surprised at what I've been able to get away with in Starfield this week, and am considerably more optimistic now about the future of Starfield modding. There's a lot there that is good, it's just that Bethesda left a lot on the cutting room floor.

You can see the growing PAST changelog here.

My plan is to get a Dev Diary video done on Monday to show off PAST combat.  We're still very early in this process - we're still months away from Creation Kit's release, after all - but I'm looking forward to showing you what Starfield combat AI can look like with a bit of effort.

See you then,

- G.
