I kind of don't want to talk about this but I'm going to talk about it anyways, any updates on recreating the missing High detail Pioneer model yep, I'm gonna tell this story because I don't know it's kind of interesting, the model the way the way it usually works y'all when when you're making games or when you're making High Fidelity games at least is the process is usually that an artist sits down and they make a model of something, actually even further that you have a concept artist right like painting something cool and then the 3D artist looks at that a lot I'm gonna make them all out of that but, so what we usually do is you create a model a 3D model that's very high poly or like has a lot of vertices, and what you usually do is you take that model and then you optimize that for games so you have like a high fidelity model that you can you know sculpt and change and whatever and that you have like a lot of detail with that, and what you usually do is you take the High Fidelity model and then you you bake a lot of the details into like textures so you can read the textures in the game instead of having like a high fidelity model, that makes it a lot faster and that is that is how we usually do it, the Pioneer character model though is is, had the same thing we've made a high density High poly model for the Pioneer and then we made the low poly version of the pioneer for the game, and we don't have the high poly version anymore so like if we want to make any changes to the Pioneer we we always have to do it on the low poly version which isn't isn't optimal to say the least and, yeah we just we don't know what happened to the high poly model it's just gone, so what we have to do is we have to remake the model essentially so someone is doing that so yeah that's that's fun so at some point at some point during development the model of the pioneer will change slightly I don't know if we're going to make any like updates to the look of it or anything like that but it's, there will be some change to it because there's a couple of issues with the model as it is right now because we made them all a long ass time ago and then we worked on that for a bit and then we're like cool it works great let's move on and then we can come back to it when we need to polish and now we are at that point we want to go back and polish and then we're like we can because we don't have the model, so we need to remake it all right
