This one is just a small release, overall, with some key bugfixes to the last version. That said, however, there is a new implementation of the context menu, which we know a lot of people have been waiting for — so yay! There’s also a couple of smaller balance tweaks in there. This is a…
I don’t know why these prerelease names keep coming to me, but I imagine they won’t keep up. If the last release was the sledge hammer, where we burst through a bunch of walls and floors and started remodeling, this release is continuing the remodeling work — and, even more importantly, healing some of those…
We normally aren’t in the habit of naming our beta releases — they come too frequently, and generally have too little individually to warrant such a thing. However, this particular release is an exception. We basically took a sledge hammer to a goodly number of parts of the game (kitchen, dining room, you know), and…
A new version of the full installer, with all the full music tracks for Children of Neinzul plus the new/remastered tracks for AI War and The Zenith Remnant, will be forthcoming soon. However, that takes a while to upload and prepare, and in the meantime we have a non-music-bearing patch that you can download of…
“Chris Park is the wonderfully open and honest chap who heads up indie studio Arcen Games, he has been extremely open about the financial troubles the company has been going through recently, excellently detailed here on PC Gamer. I knew I had to talk to him about everything that was going on both financially and…
Lots and lots of good stuff in this one. To whit: Some of the not-yet-ported galaxy map controls have now been ported. New options for unloading transports have been created (people have wanted that for a while) The tutorials are now back in place and the first two have been updated content-wise. A bunch of…
It’s that time again! As of September 31st, 2010, we have so far raised and donated $1090.38 for the Child’s Play charity via sales of our Children of Neinzul micro-expansion for AI War — and that’s just with preorders! We look to be well on our way to hitting our goal of $14,000.00 for the…
Lots of bugfixes and balance tweaks in this one. Also a number of performance improvements, especially to cutting out the lag in the lobby from the last few releases. A few GUI tweaks also made it in, hopefully making the interface easier than ever to visually parse and use. Enjoy! P.S. — This is a…
In this recent article at Resolution Magazine, Joel Goodwin discusses the effect of destructive criticism on game developers. Yours truly is one of a handful of developers quoted in there a couple of times, which is cool, but it’s a rather important article regardless of my ties to it. In the end, I think Gabe…
Hot off the heels of the recent 3.700 beta of the new AI War 4 comes this new bugfix-laden version. Seriously, that’s a lot of release notes for it having been the weekend! Predictably, there were a number of issues with the prior beta version, and this new beta resolves most of the serious reports;…
