I hope once the character creator is to the point where the devs feel comfortable announcing it is successfully integrated that we'll get a more marketing focused drive from them. Especially when they finally open up the Second Chance, I think they should try release with it a pre-recorded video of actual CoT gameplay. It will be beta or pre-beta or whatever, not fully polished obviously, but still something to see their progress. Like, maybe a couple of devs running part of some random mission, some actual fighting maybe, perhaps a travel power or two going around a small part of a city or neighborhood that isn't just green/blue blocks but detailed close to what it might look like in-game. I don't know, just something more than the recent twitch streams.

More Marketing from CoT
The problem with that at this point is that the MWM team has mentioned they developed everything at the component level. So there is no integration at this point. There is no guarantee that the build won't break when they compile ComponentA into the main source code. And similarly no guarantee that integrating ComponentB doesn't break ComponentA. So they have a lot of work ahead of themselves debugging new issues every time a new chunk of code merges into the main build.
So that is why it might be difficult to deliver on some of those video requests.

I feel like a lot of those things should be getting around to being taken care of this close to a possible launch, though. If they don't have any of that done, they shouldn't be saying there is a possibility of a 2018 launch. If there is a possibility of it, for marketing purposes, they should be able to put something together to show everyone why they should want to play.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
We had hoped to have integration done by now, but issues when we integrated the character generator's caused all sorts of problems. As I've said in the past, if we cannot get them resolved by mid-March, we will need to revise the schedule.
As we have artists who have a heart attack whenever we don't use our own character models for videos, this has the side-effect of making it impossible to show off a lot of work.

Do you have an idea of the status of this subject ? is it well begin or do you think you'll probably not succeed at this time ?
Just curious to know if it's more "good" or"bad" (without thinking about the issues coming with the resolution of the previous ones)

I'm purposefully not paying close attention, so as to not micromanage the people handling it. But, so far it's progressing, not as fast as I'd like, but it's still progressing.

Like with traffic jams, I don't mind SLOW progress ... but I do mind NO progress.
