Has it really been a whole month since beta came out? How time flies. It’s been a while since I wrote my two-week “thoughts on the beta” post, so I thought I’d do another such post The game is still growing at a hefty rate, but we’re no longer in that period where we’re spending…
This one simply has some bugfixes that we wanted to go ahead and get released before tonight’s later release. More to come soon. Enjoy! This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 0.500 or later. When you launch the game, you’ll see the notice of…
This one doesn’t have hugely long feature list, but it includes several things that have been on my to-do list for what seems like forever. First up is the new Glyph Transplant spell scroll, which basically lets you do a body swap with any NPC you like. You become them, and they become you, and…
This one is back to having a more regular sort of file size, but it’s a real biggie in terms of the new things added in it. First of all, if you’re someone who is getting into the map editor, there’s a number of key additions in the map editor that make designing things like…
In terms of file size, this one is by far the largest update we’ve done to any of our games, ever. In terms of release notes length, not so much. Why the huge file size? Well, there’s some new art, but that’s really only a few megs. Further-Processed Character (And Some Monster) Graphics The thing…
This one is really a pretty small release in terms of what is publicly ready in it, but there were enough player-requested tweaks in there that I felt like it was worth getting out tonight rather than waiting for a larger batch of stuff tomorrow. The minimap has a few more options and works a…
This one is a quite a lengthy set of release notes, because I decided to make today a “mantis day” and just plow through a ton of the higher-priority bug reports, feature suggestions, and so on. I also added a couple of random smaller spells and scrolls that I’ve been meaning to add for a…
This one is a longer set of release notes again, but it’s been a couple of days since the last beta update. What gives? Well, at the moment we’re simply sinking a lot of time into some larger features rather than focusing on vast amounts of smaller stuff. Multiplayer Status Multiplayer is one gargantuan feature,…
So much has happened since we launched public beta for A Valley Without Wind back in late September. In some respects it feels like it’s been out forever, when really we’ve just reached three weeks. It’s been fantastic to have anyone interested finally able to play the game. We’ve received both a wonderful response as well as…
AI War 2 is a grand strategy/RTS hybrid against a galaxy that has already been conquered by rogue artificial intelligence. It’s also “a sequel to [Arcen’s] enormo-space RTS AI War, which we called ‘one of this year’s finest strategy games‘ back in 2009″ (Tom Sykes, PC Gamer) The most devious and acclaimed artificial intelligence in strategy…
