This one continues addressing issues that were a high priority (for the timeframe of the upcoming official version) for our community in this poll. This time: The #1 request was that free threat not camp on a wormhole forever if the planet on the other side was too strong for it to consider attacking. Fish…
Reminder: AI War: Ancient Shadows is going to come out of beta and arrive on Steam on October 19th! You can currently preorder and get in on the beta at the above link if you wish. All of the features are now in place for it, and we’re just going through final polishing. Well, except…
This one addresses a number of issues that were a high priority (for the timeframe of the upcoming official version) for our community in this poll. Specifically: Engineer logic for picking what targets to assist first. Mostly this relates to repair order, but also somewhat to build-assistance. Let us know how it feels now, and…
This one deals with several longstanding requests that have been at the top of the mantis voting for a while: 1) Now the game will tell you what the local time is, and how much real time you’ve actually spent in that particular game, when you mouseover the in-game clock. Note: the “how much real…
I’ve been hinting about this over here, and actually answered a lot of questions about it. However, we were planning on doing a big announcement through an interview with a major news site to announce the game, and so we didn’t want to say too much. We’re now reversing that stance, however. We actually don’t…
This one contains the last new content that was part of the original promise in the Ancient Shadows expansion, namely the last “main” nebula scenario (which is where I got the release name, it’s pretty intense) and the largest champion hull size. There’s still other things I may add over the next few weeks (modular…
This one is probably the second-to-last update containing new Ancient Shadows content (though additional scenarios beyond the next may be added between now and release, time permitting). It adds two new scenarios for seeding in the nebulae. There’s also a significant rebalance of AI guardians and AI carriers (what happens when you blow up a…
This one continues our process of finishing up the last new content for the Ancient Shadows expansion, and adds another scenario that can seed in a nebula. There are a few old friend/foes/friendly-foes in there, hence the title of this release. Several balance changes, particularly to the bring the Dark Spire minor faction back into…
Thought it was about time for a general update on our upcoming game Shattered Haven! Art EvolutionFor Shattered Haven, you may recall that Heavy Cat Multimedia is doing all-new pixel art for this game just as they are doing all-new higher-res art for AVWW. Both projects are going really well, although we’ve been so hard…
This one is a relatively small release, for us, but the impact on the endgame should be… interesting. It’s the last of the non-champion-related new content for Ancient Shadows and adds 3 new Core Guard Posts that the AI can use its “brutal” picks on when populating an AI homeworld’s defenses during mapgen. They’re all…
