This one adds two new bonus ship types: the Zenith Reprocessor, and the much-anticipated Zenith Siege Engine. The latter has to stay immobile for 15 seconds before firing, but it hits like a truck once it does. A truck loaded with plasma torpedoes, that is. Another long-requested change, from the top of the mantis voting…
We had a lot of fun exhibiting at PAX East earlier this year in Boston. So much so we decided we just couldn’t pass up the chance to do the same at PAX Prime next week in Seattle. So if you’re attending, keep an open spot in your schedule to stop by! (Or even better,…
This one adds another scenario that can be seeded in a nebula. The usual goes with it: more champion hulls and module lines are possible as rewards. There’s also a couple new abilities that can be unlocked through nebula rewards. A few important balance changes were made to recently-added stuff: Tackle Drone Launchers got nerfed…
This one adds two more bonus ship types for the Ancient Shadows expansion: the Neinzul Scapegoat and the Spire Railcluster. The Scapegoat has a one-shot version of the Regenerator Golem’s ability (only works on fleet ships) and I expect to hear tales of absurd exploits and thus have to nerf it, but have fun figuring…
Pablo has been hard at work as usual, and is producing some of his best music ever. He’s learned some improved mastering techniques, and at some point in the coming months is going to be working on remastering the AVWW and AI War soundtracks in general. In the meantime, here’s a couple of new tracks…
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…
