This one has a variety of balance tweaks, the most substantial of which is to prevent certain kinds of exploits with super-terminals. Warbird and Beam starships also got a heck of a lot more awesome, and mapgen is no longer quite so unkind with where it is able to put Dyson Sphere planets. Enjoy! This…

This one is primarily for a single bugfix: to prevent the exo-galactic waves from getting all distracted with minutiae and wandering off after minor ships. While funny to see your ultimate enemy do this, it wasn’t exactly conductive to their usual hardcore challenge. There’s also a couple of other handy fixes and tweaks in here. …
As Keith put it, “finally got around to some long-needed rebalancing” with this one. Enjoy! This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later. When you launch the game, you’ll see the notice of the update having been found if you’re connected to…
Chris is quoted in the opening of Soren Johnson’s excellent game design article “Design success means knowing what to do with feedback.” Johnson goes in depth on how taking in feedback properly from a development team, testers, and/or player community is critical toward reaching success in a game’s design — specifically touching on how important…
This one has another big batch of fixes and tweaks, on a variety of ships and parts of the interface. Some welcome changes to the Plasma Siege Starships as well as the Spirecraft Shield Bearers, for instance, as well as Spider Turrets. The biggest bunch of changes, however, is to the AI Carriers: how you’re…
With A Valley Without Wind emerging out of over a month of heavy construction and significant changes, we’re entering a phase where the game is settling into a stable enough state for us to start chatting with the press about it once more. This week we’ve had a couple new interviews hit: Chris and I had an excellent…
This one has a bunch of tweaks and fixes that should be really welcome (almost all of them were player requests, after all). There’s actually quite a bit that is significant in here, such as many golems getting tweaks and turrets getting energy costs rebalanced almost across the board. But of course none of these…

This is a standard update that you can download through the in-game updater itself, if you already have 4.000 or later. When you…
