TLF Version 1.007-1008 Beta Released (Solar Map Balance And Auto-Resolve Polish)
Posted by Chris Park on April 29th, 2014
Version 1.007 Beta is now out, and focuses on moving things towards merging the beta branch with the official one. This one is still just in the beta branch (which you can optionally download inside the game itself from the updater) rather than as a full version that everyone gets automatically updated to. So you […]
AI War Beta 7.021-7.022 “Champion Alter-Ego” Released!
Posted by Keith LaMothe on April 29th, 2014
This one is fairly hefty, compared to other recent patches. After the April 18th release of The Last Federation and a week of heavy post-release support for that game (which is still very much ongoing, but not quite 100% of our time now) I finally had time to get 7.021 ready. The most important thing […]
TLF Version 1.006 Beta Released (Besieging And Federating)
Posted by Chris Park on April 28th, 2014
Version 1.006 Beta is now out, and is another wonderfully vast one. This one is still just in the beta branch (which you can optionally download inside the game itself from the updater) rather than as a full version that everyone gets automatically updated to. So you can update or not for this one, at […]
TLF Version 1.005 Beta Released (Holy Smokes It’s Big )
Posted by Chris Park on April 25th, 2014
Version 1.005 Beta is now out, and is monstrously, wonderfully huge. This one changes so many things that we’re releasing it only as a beta version (which you can optionally download inside the game itself from the updater) rather than as a full version that everyone gets automatically updated to. So you can update or […]
The Last Federation ‘Second Chance Sale’ on Bundle Stars

The Last Federation’s release week has officially concluded, but those who missed out on the 25% off discount still have a chance to pick up the game at its reduced launch price of $14.99. We were a little late to the party in regards to getting TLF up on Bundle Stars, and our delay is the […]
TLF Auto-Resolve Coming Tomorrow
Posted by Chris Park on April 23rd, 2014
I promised a second release today, but I was a little overly optimistic. ;) One of the top features that people have been requesting is an auto-resolve feature for battles, and that’s something I’ve been working on today. I’d thought I’d have it ready in time for a release tonight, but alas not; it will […]
TLF Version 1.004 Released (x64 Linux Build)
Posted by Chris Park on April 23rd, 2014
Version 1.004 is now out, and is just a quickie. Another release is coming later tonight. This version now has an x64 Linux build, so that people on x64 linux builds no longer have to have the 32 libs installed or run as root (whoah!) to make the 32 bit version of X Server run. […]
TLF Version 1.003 Released (Permadeath Becomes Optional )
Posted by Chris Park on April 22nd, 2014
Version 1.003 is now out, and is another biggie. There are a couple of new features today, instead of just one: 1. Permadeath is now optional, and off by default. Instead you “narrowly escape” from battles that you would otherwise die in, and it gives you a time penalty in solar map months. This is […]
TLF Version 1.002 Released (Tech Acquisitions And Planetary Attacks)
Posted by Chris Park on April 21st, 2014
Version 1.002 is now out, and includes lots of goodies. One of the top-requested features was a way to get techs from races that already have them, and so that’s today’s “feature of the day.” Beyond that, there are a ton of fixes and improvements all over the place: * A few GUIs are now […]

TLF Version 1.001 Released (Bugfixes, Large Screen Resolution Support)
Posted by Chris Park on April 19th, 2014
Version 1.001 is a small release that fixes a few bugs that slipped past all 165ish of us who were testing (hey, it’s a huge game) and which adds support for screen resolutions larger than 1920×1080. Starting next week we’re going to be releasing at least one new free feature every week for at least […]

AI War Beta 7.019-7.020 “Oops MkII” Released!
Posted by Keith LaMothe on April 11th, 2014
This one is partly a hotfix to deal with a fairly serious AI bug I introduced in the previous version, but there was a fair bit of other work in the hopper ready to go out as well. Not a huge release, overall, because we’re basically in the last week before the April 18th official […]

This one is another fairly small release while we’re focused on the last few weeks before releasing The Last Federation, So we shot some troublesome bugs.
