It was recently said that the images on the POD webshop would be updated, but that too is taking longer than expected. SFG mentioned it on discord the other day.
“The first step was having the sculpting team update the renders. This is a small team handling their work load much as any of us would, so that had to go through the queue and get completed.
From there it went through the graphics pipeline for the sorcery they do on their end, so the images all work.
That will bring it up to the ‘final checks’ phase, ahead of the actual web update as these things have to be done in CTE before being dropped into PROD.”
So it was never forgotten or neglected, it just took way longer to ‘get it right’ than what was planned and communicated. We don’t have a date, but at least we’re still getting there.
For me personally here on the Bench, I expect that all these things will become part of the planned “relaunch” of the POD that is estimated to happen next week according to the last formal timeline. Hopefully this grand update will include all of images and crossover boxes and detached bases.
I’m also hoping that this update will be fairly on time, and I hope to place another order of nice baller models within the next few weeks. 🙂 Order backlog is more or less solved and replacement orders for managing previous faults are being taken care of successfully, according to what is being said.
Also, SFG product owner for Guild Ball mentioned yesterday that he’s been tied up in another project for a while, and by saying that I hope he’s implying that he wants to spend more time on Guild Ball again in the forseeable future.
