    Items of Concern / Action Items



    1) Contact head sysops of all zones to populate the chart above and engage them in the Steam final process.
    Action Manager: M_M God
    Status: In process
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015
    Detailed Info:
    There have been intensive discussions and meetings between different zone head sysops over the last few days, but still looking to get in touch with zone head sysops of Hockey zone, Devastation, Hyperspace and Omega Fire.





    2) Discuss SSC Biller capabilities and plans, assuming a successful Steam Launch and influx of players, with Billing Ops.
    Action Manager: POiD
    Status: Completed
    Update Date: 09/05/2015
    Detailed Info:
    The current biller does not provide sufficient access for the Billing Ops to perform a mass release of old unused Names and Squads. Thus until a switch is made to a new biller, any new users coming from Steam efforts would just need to continue to be creative in their nick and squad selections. See Item #3 for new biller plans being post-steam.

    With respect to support, billing ops do have a couple of trusted people in mind that could assist them if there is an influx in players so that it is not just Mom and SpaceHiker, having to handle the extra load. They are confident that they can address any support issues at this time.



    3) Determine status of Biller replacement and if this is a pre or post Steam Launch activity for all affected zones.
    Action Manager: POiD
    Status: Completed
    Update Date: 09/05/2015
    Detailed Info:
    A biller replacement is not necessary, but is wanted. Currently there is no ETA on this as no appropriate biller replacement is available. Coding and testing of one would still be necessary before it would be considered. Thus this item is currently considered a post-Steam item.



    4) Accumulate and compile official steam driven advertisements / banners / written descriptions.
    Action Manager: Up in Ya !!, M_M God
    Status: In process
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015
    Detailed Info:
    Currently running test ad campaigns on different channels/target groups/social media.




    5) Upgrade installer for Continuum to be ready for a Steam Go Launch.
    Action Manager: Dezmond
    Status: Completed.
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015.
    Detailed Info:
    Installer has been finished, tested on steam and completed. May require some extra testing with Win10 compatibility.




    6) Ensure involved zones have adequate staff coverage to handle an increased load of new players.
    Action Manager: Deans of Staff
    Status: In process
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015
    Detailed Info: Currently looking into volunteers and extra motivated staffers to (temp) join staff after launch.





    7) Determine and resolve legal status issues relating to Continuum going on Steam.
    Action Manager: Turban
    Status: Evaluated by legal entities; will require more evaluation and extra legal information added to Steam store page.
    Detailed Info:




    8) Contact PriitK regarding release of Continuum on Steam and any issues/concerns with doing so.
    Action Manager:
    Status:
    Update Date:
    Detailed Info:




    9) Ensure we've met any Steam required code / tool integration into the game / installer prior to launch. What is needed? Anything? Nothing?
    Action Manager:
    Status: Completed
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015
    Detailed Info: Nothing extra is required to launch on Steam. You can simply install Continuum through Steam and use Steam functionalities (chat/see who's playing on steam, create friend groups, etc) without hassle.




    10) Fix Public TW Map to prevent new player tiling issue.
    Action Manager: zreqdf
    Status: In Progress
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015
    Detailed Info:
    Currently new players don't see the tiles on the Public map in TW properly. This is to be fixed prior to an influx of players.
    Fix scheduled to be delivered this coming week (week starting 11/05/2015).
    Waiting on update from zreqdf. Changes to pub planned for this month.



    11) TW New player initiative needs team lead to involve experienced trusted players in assisting new players, along with access to various bot commands to help show tutorials etc.
    Action Manager: Demonic
    Status: In Progress
    Update Date: 08/04/2015
    Detailed Info: Update required from Demonic and/or follow up from another staffer assigned to this.




    12) Determine who will be the contact point / publishing point on the Steam initiative. Specifically relating to who takes the lead role with steam.
    Action Manager:
    Status:
    Update Date:
    Detailed Info:




    13) Determine who is the official ACTIVE Lead (Project Manager) for steam initiative. Krynetix? M_M God? Someone else?
    Action Managers: Turban, M_M God, Dezmond
    Status: Completed
    Update Date: June 1st, 2015
    Detailed Info: Shared project leaders, looking to add other representatives from other zones into Project Lead Team.




    Just to re-iterate, if you have updates for this post please contact POiD to add status / action owners / active participants / active zone contacts etc.
