Latest document on Companies House (up to Dec 2019) says 3, which is where I'm taking my info from. I think the deadline for the Dec 2020 state is in 2-3 months so we can see more then.
Those are simply the documents I tell you how it is.

I agree that having an in-game map, where you can mark stuff - to help yourself keep track where you are and where you have been - would be grand.
Just finished the second level and you were right. I have to admit that the game is much better then i thought.
While in a bathhouse looking at the shelves for loot i realized, wtf am i doing in a bathhouse looking for loot?? Feels good.
There are some places where you can find nice loot early on (in particular on level 1).
I killed this dude by placing a couple benches and crap in his path. Was pretty funny.Got wrecked by the so called "sir" on level 4. You go from fighting retarded undead to fighting this gentlemanSent me flying with one punch then beat the crap out of me before i could run away. I passed out and when i woke up there's "sir" waiting for me. Didn't even have a chance to pick up my weapon before i was sent flying again. It's getting pretty intense.
Nickname that was first given by an aforementioned pedophile. "Because he commands respect". It stuck and now it is official.
Might want to run away until you get some proper gear and back up.
He is still unfinished, you can cheese him easily stabbing him in the toilet. Madoc promised extra attacks and ability to break doors.
Some of the moves look so realistic, my favorite was when he pushed him under the table and then shoved up a mace up his ass.I had plate armor and that double handed sword from blacksmiths locked room. Problem is I keep tripping over myself.. I feel like a world war 1 tank made out of brass.
What pedophile? And I'm sure he's gonna command even more respect when he starts smashing through doors.

We've made good progress on making procedural weapons functional in game. We're generating working weapons inside the game, which are then persistent, they have quality and condition and we have development UIs to configure their randomisation. We've also updated some of our weapon specific procedural materials as the whole system has evolved since we first made these. There's only a few small things left to do before we can start introducing some in the beta and get some feedback. Once the core systems are smoothed out we'll be looking at gameplay implications more closely, how components and deformations should affect stats, possible weapon traits, updating some aspects of the damage model, and of course multiple grips on weapons where appropriate.
Here's some screenshots of some in game procedural swords:

Another closeup showing damage in particular.
The way we've approached the implementation this is more a general procedural object feature, not just weapons. Some obvious examples could be books or keys. This isn't just a tool for randomisation, it's a way to make each item feel unique, to add a huge variety that wouldn't otherwise be possible and to design specific items in just a few clicks. This has huge applications in content design, and in a future where we make content creation tools available, people will be able to quickly design high quality unique items and themes to fit their narrative.
For some time now we've been talking about overhauling the UI, to get away from that PC software look, make it more immersive and fitting. Our more recent thaumaturgy UI was a step in the right direction, we want to do something similar with the skills, and also remove the paperdoll in favour of a hybrid inventory / inspect mode which simply zooms into your character and immediate surroundings. Recently with all the graphical improvements, especially the upcoming weapons, we've also been looking for ways to see items in more detail.
We've been through various mock-ups and concepts for a new interface look, with the insiders giving us feedback and contributing their own ideas. We haven't been too happy with anything until now. We need something simple and clean, that fits with other UIs and still supports more complex interfaces. We've been through a few more iterations this week, and we think we may have finally found an aesthetic we're happy with. Here's a mock-up of a description window:

A concept for an overhauled UI graphical style.
We think this is a versatile look we can work with, let us know what you think about the planned changes.
Those are the main things this week, but we're working on some other stuff too and fixing some things up for another beta patch to go with the first procedural weapons, hopefully in the next few days.
Have a great week!

Stats are incremental and weights are cumulative?
those are not actual stats, that is just fluff
According to Madoc, condition is tied to the stats of the item. It was said somewhere in the latest updates or on the steam forum. Can't be arsed to look for it, but perhaps Technomancer has more precise info.
afaik the weight depicted is related entirely to the weapon, to calculate its speed and damage.
Very advanced. I'm waiting for 1.0, but do give it a try, it's looking pretty awesome.
