Today’s release is perhaps the biggest bugfix release we’ve had by far. The three biggest issues on people’s minds are all now fixed: the “Network host initialization error,” the “Access Denied: Could Not Get Cursor Position” error, and the clunky-feeling (compared to the SlimDX version) zooming. We also fixed some bugs from the prior version…
Today’s release is a major one. Really, really gigantic. Not because it adds any new ships or features, but because it really polishes the balance and difficulty — including fixing some nasty bugs — to such a heavy degree. Let’s see, where to even begin: In the prior version, the economy costs weren’t working properly,…
Today’s second release is a substantial one. The memory-usage improvements that Keith has put in place for the AI thread alone are really significant, as this lets the game skip for garbage collection vastly less often which means that the music/action doesn’t skip even every 26 seconds or whatever we were up to before. That’s…
Today’s first release is a small one, but filled with critical fixes. In the prior release, players were lucky if they survived to the 7 minute mark in new games because of some bugs that were causing the threat to skyrocket after the 1 minute mark. Those are now all fixed, and the game should…
At long last, AI Guardians have arrived! The first 40 of those ships (5 mark levels each of 8 ship classes) are now in, and a couple of them are pictured below. These are basically overlarge, fairly slow, and fairly powerful ships that guard guard posts and command stations — until provoked. In a lot…
3.714 is a pretty minor utility release, but has a number of nice fixes in it, such as melee ships that work, buffed starships, and alphabetized hull attack bonuses. Another, larger, release will be coming later today. This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have…
Okay, maybe the nickname for this release doesn’t sound like a good thing, but it so totally is. Like “The Sledge Hammer” before it, this release absolutely rips apart some old parts of the game, and it builds something much better in its place. This is the last such rip-things-apart release we’re going to have…
This is an exciting post to get to make. At long last, we now have an OSX version of AI War. You can grab it here. That installer installs an OSX version of AI War that is identical to the Windows version 3.712 that we just released tonight, including all the new and remastered music. …
Now that we’re nearing the end of our “early beta” period for the AI War 4.0 work, it appears that twice-daily is our new release schedule for a bit. This week is basically the last of our “big overhaul” timeframe for AI War 4.0, and then next week is going to be all about polish,…
At long last, here’s an updated installer for the Unity version of AI War. This is the 3.711 version of the game, and also includes all the new music that we just today released as a zip file download for those already with the Unity beta versions of AI War installed. A Mac OSX installer…
