Since the last update post twelve days ago, we’ve had six releases, starting with notes here and ending here. Last time I talked a lot about multiplayer and our plans for that in the short and middle term. You can read the details, but in order to keep things organized our current release notes page…
Since May 22nd, we’ve been working hard on the game in the beta branch, and now we’re back onto the main branch for everyone to enjoy the new items. The full release notes start here and finish here. Let’s see if I can’t summarize that down a bit, though. The TLDR is that this is…
This is on the beta branch, as there are still a lot of unstable changes that we are working through. The more testers the better, please! Full notes here. How To Play A Beta Branch Build To play this on Steam, please go under betas and choose current_beta from the drop-down list. We would really…

Only a day later, but this is a big one! Full notes here. What’s new? First off, Badger found a bug in some of the fire teams code that had been leading them to be less efficient with their forces (using overwhelming force where it was not needed). This was actually a really cool behavior…
Very similarly to the prior release, it’s been 24 days since the last writeup (and in this case, the last non-beta build). This new version is only the fifth public build since then, though most of them were hefty and were in beta. Full notes here. What’s new? First up, there is a brand new…
The last release I did a writeup on was 25 days ago, an eternity. This new version marks the twelfth public build since then, although the most recent stretch were in beta. Full notes here. What’s new? First up, we got GOG Galaxy support fully working, and also improved some of our Steamworks integration. Both…
Wowzers. This one has been a marathon, even though it hasn’t been that many days since the last release. Notes here.

Specifically: The functionality for loading an existing savegame or quick…
It’s been 17 days since the last build, but there’s a whole lot of goodness in this new one. Release notes here. Also: I got married last week! It was supposed to be next month, but on account of pandemic we had to adjust our plans. My wife is a physician, and in the spirit…
