This update is focused on balance changes. The big thing that has changed is the cost structure of higher-mark ships. They are now significantly and predictably higher-cost than their lower-level counterparts, which means two things: the lower tier ships are once again more useful (due to a better cost-to-benefit ratio), and the late game requires…
This update has a wide variety of fixes and updates into it. It also has the first beginnings of the upcoming Light of the Spire expansion in it, although you won’t be able to see or enabled (even in trial mode) those new additions just yet. Later this week it will open for trial and…
This update addresses some stability issues some folks have on OSX, and also provides better support for single-button mice on OSX. This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later. When you launch the game, you’ll see the notice of the update having…
This release has a small number of bugfixes and tweaks that came up post-4.0, and we wanted to go ahead and get this into your hands as soon as possible just to make sure things remain clean. Enjoy! This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already…
This release is unreservedly huge. It’s a full re-imagining of AI War, practically a sequel (but free to existing customers). Frankly there were more updates here than in a lot of sequels we’ve seen. So it is with some difficulty that we compile these highlights, as even the list of highlights is enormous, yet omits…
With the massive new 4.0 version of AI War hitting tomorrow, one of the big bullet points from that release is a wholesale platform shift: moving to Unity 3D, away from SlimDX / .NET. In the past, I wrote about why I chose SlimDX, and why I felt it was the best DirectX interface available…
This huge release has a lot of good stuff, and it’s one of the last pre-official-4.0 versions. The main outstanding item we have left is the intermediate tutorial, and everything is fixes and minor tweaks. The shortlist of what’s new in this one: Improvements to the pre-4.0 settings importer, and making it more obvious that…
More bugfixes and balance tweaks, again. And the last of the memory-usage improvements we’ll be able to safely make before 4.0 comes out. This new version really ramps up the size and ferocity of the waves as the difficulty is increased, while at the same time making them a bit weaker at difficulties 5 and…
More bugfixes and balance tweaks once again. And some performance improvement things, and pretty huge memory usage improvements when more than one savegame is loaded per run of the application. Amongst the balance changes, all of the waves are now 3x larger than whatever they previously would have been. The waves have been incredibly puny…
