I’ve been checking in now and then to hopefully see something regarding Gaea 3 and the - according to the roadmap - testing phase for earlybird buyers.
Can anyone at Quadspinner write an update on whether the roadmap is skewed? :) Or perhaps I’m not in the correct group and don’t have access to info I should have.. I don’t know. There’s been so little about Gaea 3 after the sales page went up.
Hey @OlaHaldor, good seeing you here.
Gaea 3 production is still happening in the background. The roadmap dates are currently misaligned, but that does not mean the deliverables themselves have changed.
This is fairly normal with a public-facing static roadmap, because a lot can shift during active development. Building a roadmap that is both fully transparent and dynamically accurate is difficult, especially when timelines can move while the actual goals remain the same.
Progress is continuing on Gaea 3, and there has also been additional activity around Gaea 2 in parallel.
For example, Gaea 2 has had draw improvement updates, Bleeding Edge branch updates have reopened ( this is where we’re currently at) and some features from Gaea 3 have been ported back into Gaea 2, such as the new transform gizmo.
On the support side, the Gaea 2 docs have also been receiving major updates and refinements from myself, Dax, and Parvez. Alongside that, Maarten has been contributing node-based videos and terrain example files on YouTube and here in the community respectively.
All of these efforts are part of supporting users at every level and better connecting the software, documentation, YouTube content, and community resources.
My advice with the static roadmap would be to treat the timeline dates
As for more announcements like user testing and showcases on Gaea 3, those will come in due time when the team is ready to market and present them properly.
I hope that helps, and quells any concerns you may have.
Thank you, that’s all fully understandable. :)
I just felt lost and thought I was missing something since there were no other posts regarding 3 anywhere.
Heads down, pokie tongues out (for extra concentration power) is the way I often see it, some people often fear silence = nothing but it also just means hard at work.
as a small team everytime one has to focus on socials/community it becomes another thing to do and another input of resource, you’ll probably find that many either don’t or struggle to keep it going, even influencers sleep less to keep up with it, that’s mad in my books.
But yeah don’t worry too much, just keep your eyes peeled for updates. you can set Bookmarks and watches on topics if you need to stay notified. not sure if this is going to be post as a new topic mind.
We’ll definitely have more news in the near-future. Current priorities are focusing on G2 updates and building the beta for G3. All good things come to those to wait!
