Plans for Overlord 1.1

by Jacob Fike · 01/24/2006 (3:16 am) · 3 comments

Well, I finally got Overlord out the door and have even had a few customers, which is awesome. So, now that it is out, I am working on getting the product website up to date with information and features. I've got a customer section now which gives customers quick access to download the latest version and links to the support forums and an option for recieving emails about new versions. I'm also putting links to games and mods that are using Overlord on the sidebar and testimonials from customers (assuming people give them).

So, with the website done for the most part, I'm going back to working on the software itself. My plans for version 1.1 include a lot of stuff, like adding more info to the bug tracker, changing the list views to tables with more sorting and filtering options, adding a search function, RSS feeds, and more.

I'd really like to thank the people who took the time to comment on my previous plans. Having some feedback and encouragement went a long way to helping me get a working product out the door. I know it's not a game, but it was still a pretty big job for only one person in their spare time. My hope now is that my work will help some of you out with your own projects.

This can help me a lot even for keeping track of personal things. I've tried many project managment apps and never cared for them much. One thing I'm wondering is if I can hide certain things from certain people, so for example programming tasks will not be shown to my artists and so forth. I guess maybe some form of "user profile" system? In any case, you should be getting another customer soon ;D
