This one has some pretty major internal changes in terms of how the AI functions for the monsters in the game. I’m not completely done with those upgrades yet, but already the AI has some cool new capabilities. For one thing, enemies can now change behaviors as their level gets higher. So, for instance, now…
DetailsA quick note that our massive co-op space strategy title AI War is 75% off as Steam’s Daily Deal. That means today only the base game runs just $5 instead of $20, expansions run just $2.50/$1.00 instead of $10/$4 each, and the Alien Bundle (which contains all of the aforementioned) goes for a paltry $7.50 instead of the standard…
DetailsArcen Games is excited to pass along new information and details surrounding A Valley Without Wind, the game of infinite procedurally-generated 2D sidescrolling and so much more. The title has reached a sizable milestone, wrapping up series one of the beta patch releases. During the period the game saw 40 individual updates over 43 days,…
DetailsThis one has two new spell scrolls and one new spellgem. It also has a couple of tweaks and bugfixes. The most interesting thing about these new spell scrolls is that these are the first two that are offensively-oriented in a direct fashion. Previously scrolls were all logistical, healing, or movement type effects, except for…
DetailsThis one isn’t what I’d planned on doing today, but I’m really glad that I took this detour — and I think that even experienced AVWW players will be, too. The big new feature in this version is the “reference window,” which lets you get at full stats for crafting, civ-level unlocks, and materials. No…
DetailsThis one is one that I’ve really been looking forward to ever since beta began: the intro mission for the game is now complete! Pending feedback and further testing, of course, but so far it seems pretty good to me. Intro Mission Notes The goal for the intro mission is to give new players a…
DetailsThis one has a couple of pretty significant balance tweaks that folks should really appreciate. Firstly, the Fallen Spire exogalactic strike forces are a bit better tuned. Secondly, the youngling nanoswarms now really are better at their job of hitting a lot of targets. And thirdly, the AI fortress health has been halved, making them…
DetailsThis one is a pretty sizable one in terms of what it changes about the “feel” of the game. The big new thing for existing players is the elemental damage system: spells each belong to one of six elements (fire, water, earth, air, light, and entropy), matching the colors of the gems used to create…
DetailsThis one is another one that has been several days in the making because of the intense number of internal changes that have been a part of it. The recently-revised multiplayer model is continuing to get further along, and as a part of that we’ve done some refactors to help make for (longer-term) fewer bugs…
DetailsThis one has been a couple of days in the making, and the release notes are still pretty short even so, but it’s been a busy few days for sure! Keith has been hard at work on the multiplayer stuff, and that’s coming along well although it’s still an uphill thing. For my part I’ve…
