Star Wars Galaxies Team Letter

Sony studio manager Gordon Walton stopped by the official Star Wars Galaxies forums to provide a brief synopsis of what the team is planning for SWG’s future. Here are a few of the more interesting plans:

Combat Upgrade – This team is working on upgrading our entire combat system to enhance the experience of combat within Star Wars Galaxies. Their mission is to make combat more fun, interactive, and Star War-sy. We have been taking extensive design feedback from the correspondents and alpha testers and are driving towards an alpha test which will open in a few weeks. Over the next six weeks we will be releasing more information to all players on the exciting things the Combat Upgrade will bring to SWG.

“Secret Team” – It’s no secret that we’re going to continually work on expansions, but we’re not allowed to tell you right now what we’re working on for our next expansion. It will be cool though, we can promise that!

Content (includes Spawning and Loot too) – This is a new team made up primarily of people who are new to SWG. They are working on new directed content while simultaneously improving our spawns and loot system. You’ve seen some of their work already and I expect their output to ramp up every publish as they get more fluent with their tools.
