These aren’t final yet, but it’s been a while since we’ve shared any images from the art rework project and I wanted to give you a taste of what’s coming. These are coming along well! Part of a scrolling parallax backdrop Desert Building Desert Building 2 Desert Hut Again, bear in mind that none of…
On the heels of A Valley Without Wind’s latest post-release beta update Steam is offering the game at 50% off today only as a Daily Deal. Meaning you can pickup both the individual game and/or the four-pack for half the price! If you’ve been out of the loop for a bit, AVWW is undergoing a major…
This one is the next in our series of adding a new spell and other new tweaks each week while the game is undergoing its art revamp for the next few months. Since I’ve been working on porting Shattered Haven to the new engine, plus working on getting the AVWW art revamp project off the…
This one adds the first two bonus ship types of the Ancient Shadows expansion: the Zenith Medic Frigate (from one of RCIX’s ideas) and the Tackle Drone Launcher (we invented that pain ourselves). Both boldly fill roles where no fleet ship has filled before. Particularly the “push the enemy’s ships around like a jerk” role.…
The AI War: Ancient Shadows beta kicked off this past week, and already we’re seeing some great coverage coming in for the expansion. The latest update is out now, offering the first major content release on top of what was initially packed in. As far as getting the expansion to work with a Steam copy of the base…

One particular complaint that caught me by surprise was about the logo for the expansion, which was using a font that apparently is widely-reviled. Algerian wasn’t a font I was terribly familiar with (not…
Version 5.052 begins the public beta for Ancient Shadows, our newest expansion to AI War. We waited longer than usual to start the preorders and public beta for Ancient Shadows because we wanted to get the anchor feature to a playable state, and it’s pretty complex under-the-hood. So, what’s the anchor feature? Champions! A bit…
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the forums and/or the Games By Design blog, you’ll know we’ve been planning quite a bit for the second half of the year. A new AI War expansion, completely redone art for A Valley Without Wind, and the reveal of our latest title Shattered Haven. AI War: Ancient…
This one is continuing our trend of adding a new spell and other new tweaks each week while the game is undergoing its art revamp for the next few months. Since I was out on vacation last week, I obviously didn’t add any new spell last week. So this week there are two! Campfire is…
