New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.903_Multiplayer_Polish We’re getting SO close to being out of beta. The plan was tomorrow, although it’s International Elden Ring Day, so maybe that’s not the wisest move? Regardless, there are a lot of major strides here. We might come out of beta tomorrow but not fully announce until Monday, we’ll see. New in…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.902_Spire_Onslaught The Chromatic Spire Dyson Sphere, Gray Spire Dyson Sphere, and Splintering Spire factions (all in DLC1) are now available for everyone with that DLC! Previously, these were gated to just DLC3 testers while we ironed out the most notable kinks in them. These are very interesting factions, because they can be used…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.901_Modular_Forcefields Lots is happening around here these days! The modular units feature is now feature-complete, mainly needing bug reports and testing now. Any weapons can be set up and used in whatever combination, and the same with a variety of features like cloaking and tachyon and tractor beams. The game now supports modular…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.900_Modular_Ships_.2F_Ship_Loadouts Not a lot exciting in this one… I mean, there are modular ships / ship loadouts now, but it’s not like that’s the most-requested feature or anything. Right! So, modular ships — actually, quite exciting indeed. There are a few more pieces I still need to add to those, and we need…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.807_Spire_And_Neinzul This one has many exciting things! The most exciting new thing in this one is the Splintering Spire, which is a new DLC1 group of factions that is presently in preview. It should see a wider release within the next week, but right now we’re just seeking feedback on it from DLC3…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.805_Bolstering_Spire This one has a metric ton of art, a lot of which is focused on the spire, in both the base game and DLC1. Some of the rest is focused on the neinzul in DLC1 and DLC3. In general just making things look better, and adding new art for some of the…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.804_Bug_Smooshing This one is pretty much entirely bugfixes, and some major performance improvements as well. Hopefully multiplayer will be running even more smoothly, although there are still a couple of known issues that I need a bit more data for, or to test myself. Badger and StarKelp were both on fire today, fixing…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.803_Encyclopedia_Madness When I originally set out to make the encyclopedia, I thought it would be about a half day of work. I also had in mind something relatively smaller. The end result took a solid day and a half, but is absolutely huge and really packed with features. I think I’m pretty much…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.802_New_Challengers_Approach This is another big one. First off, it has a ton of bugfixes, including substantial improvements to multiplayer yet again. The encyclopedia has seen a first round of updates, but there’s more that needs doing. You’ll notice some empty dropdowns and textboxes along the bottom, which I’ll be filling in tomorrow or…
DetailsNew build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.801_Load_Estimates_And_Unit_Encyclopedia Another really huge one! There’s a new unit called the Ultimate Fortress that you’ll run into out in the galaxy if you have the galaxy option turned on, are playing on difficulty 8 or higher, or are playing on expert mode. Zeus outdid himself with this terrifying thing, which also shows off…
