Here are the release notes, which are mostly bugfixes and more quality of life adjustments. A Tale About Linux Okay, so — Linux support, grr. Mostly that has been going fantastically, and we have a lot of folks playing the game on linux machines with no issues. That said, we’ve had a few problems with…
Keith here. A Short Update on Development Goodness, how time flies. We’ve been pretty quiet for the last few weeks finalizing the Kickstarter (95% of you have completed your BackerKit surveys, thank you! 137 backers have not yet, please do so!) and getting everything setup for the alpha. We been applying our noses directly to…
Chris here! Okay, so this is a whole lot of random stuff from the last month, and these are some of our internal videos that I did a quick vetting of and figured were safe to release for those people who might be interested in them. These are all unlisted on our youtube channel, to…

Completely re-rigged and freshly animated raptor. A couple of glitches there, though, most notably in the walk animation. Completely new sound system based on SECTR…
First video of any of the parts of the game in action! Bear in mind this is circa alpha 0.1, a private build. The video should make that pretty clear, though. I wound up talking about a TON of stuff with the project in general, and unity development as a whole as well, instead of…
Bear with me, because this is going to sound strange. First, let’s get the premise out of the way: naming games is hard, and it’s also incredibly important. Why is it so important? Well, take the following screenshot of Steam: Unless you have banner rotation featuring, this is ALL people see of your game. Even…
The really big update in the current version of The Last Federation is anew sprite batching system — and this is something that is going to be making its way into our other games soon, too. This is a performance improvement that I have been putting off since 2010, and arguably since 2002. I first…
