This one took us a lot longer than we expected, but when you see what’s in it, you’ll see why. First of all, there’s a bunch of fixes in there, as per usual. Secondly, there’s a big efficiency gain with the size of the save files, which has a number of benefits (faster saves, faster…
This one is basically “just” a laundry list of fixes, tweaks, and balance adjustments that you folks asked for. Not really any new features, and no single item jumps out above all the rest, but there’s a lot of solid refinement here that I know people have been waiting for. Sorry for the delay on…
So… today for me has been pretty much all about the documentation. I wanted to go ahead and get this done so that Erik could start using it in his emails to press. I had something similar for AI War that was hugely useful for explaining to new players (and to press) just what it…
This one has been almost a week in the making, so it stands to reason that it’s massive. And as releases go, even for us this one is particularly massive. It wasn’t until today that I realized it had almost been a week since our last release… or that it has literally been a month…
This one is another big one. For one, there’s a bunch of new art: lots of new furniture and other small objects, lots of new cavern backgrounds that look really cool, and so on. These sorts of things really help to breathe some extra life into the exploration itself, so I’m always happy to have…
This one is an enormously, enormously cool release. First off, lots more balance tweaks, and that annoying group-move bug was fixed, among other things. All thanks to Keith, of course. Next, two existing mechanics have been united under the generalized new banner of “hacking the AI:” knowledge raiding and superterminals. As such their mechanics have…
A better title for this one would actually have been “There was a ladder here. It’s gone now.” But I couldn’t resist using one of my favorite Silent Hill 2 quotes a little more overtly. This release comes quickly on the heels of the prior one, and does a few things. First of all, it…
This one, once again, is primarily focused on difficulty. To be more specific, the lack of spread of combat difficulties in the recent versions. This game has always been designed to cater to a diverse crowd in terms of skill level, but in recent version we had a lot of combat difficulties suited for low-skill…
Two days into beta phase 3, and now we have this one. It’s a fairly good-sized one, though I would have liked to have been able to pack in more spells and such. But we did manage to get one new spell in here, along with a raft of other improvements. Missions Changes Rescue NPC…
As you journey through your own unique world of Environ, you’ll primarily be splitting your time between exterior landscapes, building interiors, and underground caverns. Not only that, but you’ll be traversing shards of nine different time periods, ranging from the prehistoric, to medieval, to modern, to far-future. Each has a very different feel, often different…
