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…
We had one smaller hotfix, and then now this bigger one. The first hotfix corrected a bug that was happening with transports in the prior version with all the performance updates. There are a variety of general fixes and tweaks in both releases. The new release makes sure that you can always see your cripple…
We’ve had a series of hotfixes since 2.001 launched, and now we’ve got a more meaty release. This one includes a variety of bugfixes and balance tweaks for both the expansion and the base game. The way that engineers do repairs or assist other ships is now in a more intelligent hierarchy, which avoids some…
The first expansion for AI War 2 is out! It’s time for a little retrospective of how things have been going since the October 1.0 launch of the base game. Base Game Updates Put most simply, we’ve had 47 patches to the base game since 1.01, which is about one every 3 days. There have…
Several minor versions and a couple of beta versions have happened since Light and Shadow, the last one with a big writeup. Release notes for the most recent one are here. So what’s been going on? The visual updates for the game have continued apace. There are still lot of videos on that, even more…
We’ve had three beta-branch releases that add and improve a LOT, and now this fourth one brings us back onto the main branch. Release notes here. First up, we’re working on some visual upgrades to the ships and how we light them. It’s not any work on their models, but the effect is still notable…
It’s rare that I include a joke in the title of a release, but this one was a comment by StarKelp on discord and was too good to pass up. He helped find a really annoying QoL bug with the voice lines playing repetitively in certain cases, so here we are. Full release notes here.…
Another week, another six beta releases which now are officially out here. This is a big one! For the full story, you’ll want to start reading at 1.310, if you haven’t been on the beta branch. First up, the Warden fleet of the AI now uses fire teams. This is… a complete game-changer for them. …
Release notes here. This is a small one, mainly hotfixes. The Devourer now eats the Trader, as it should. Instigator bases now spawn much closer to you until 600 AIP, after which they can get fully cheeky again. Previously they could really mess with you at random starting at only 300 AIP. There were a…
Release notes here. This is another huge one, which is why it took us a week to get it to you. The top item here is performance, as the name of the release implies. The new fire teams are awesome and make the AI so much smarter, but we were having late-game performance problems with…
