An interesting conversation from the Arcen Games forums that I thought I’d just post here, because I thought it expressed an interesting point about game design for truly huge RTS games like AI War. A lot of people wonder how on earth you can manage thousands of ships simultaneously — well, this is how. Me…
This is a question I’m getting asked with increasing regularity: what advice do I have for other indie developers, or aspiring indie developers? While in many respects I feel like it’s too soon for me to give advice, since AI War is still not yet providing enough income for me to do this fulltime, on…
This weekend, you can get AI War: Fleet Command for 25% off the regular price at Stardock’s Impulse store. AI War is already an incredible value, but this is a great chance to get it at an even lower price ($14.99 instead of the usual $19.99).

I think I’ve stumbled across this year’s Really New Thing. There’s a lot of 2009 to go, but I’ll be surprised if anyone else twists the RTS formula this dramatically and this effectively. And I’m hoping it’ll be the Next Big Thing, because it’s big, different, entirely unprecedented and an exciting way to play an…
AI War: Fleet Command Trailer 2 – Download High Quality Trailer 2 We’ve created a new trailer that does a better job of showcasing the game in general, and which also features the new art from recent releases.
This is a bit belated in several cases, but we’d like to officially announce the latest team members to Arcen Games. Our team has definitely been growing! Lars Bull, or Fiskbit as he is known on the forums, has been helping out with design advice and QA testing for Arcen titles long before Arcen actually…
