Release notes here! Before this release, the GUI was really ugly. After this release, the GUI is still really ugly. But now it’s a lot better organized! 🙂 Main Menu Before: Main Menu After: Game Setup Menu Before: Game Setup Menu After: In-Game Display Before: In-Game Display (note the top bar, especially) After: More to…
DetailsRelease notes here! This one is all about new AI Types and being able to choose between them in the Lobby. There’s some neat new personalities in there (I’m especially fond of “Brawler”, but I always did love the Burlusts), but the more important thing is all the framework necessary to have different factions have…
DetailsRelease notes here! Lots of quality-of-fun improvements here, including much-improved support for having selections of stuff from multiple planets, helpful new info on the AI Defenses galaxy display mode, descriptions of many common units, and another round of basic balance changes. But the main thing is definitely the addition of targeting modes for control groups.…
DetailsRelease notes here! No one theme here, other than “make the game more fun to play” 🙂 Opening with some UI improvements from community member BadgerBadger, and moving on to some behavior changes from me to make waves behave in a more familiar fashion and to make your ships not fan out in a counter-productive…
DetailsRelease notes here! This one started with more work on differentiating the planets. In the last release we made it so the AI’s controller on each planet can be in different places. Now we’ve gone the rest of the way with all of the code for determining the position and type of the AI’s defensive…

Schedule Slippage – Overview Let’s get to the toughest topic…

DetailsRelease notes here! Lots of crazy going on lately, hence it being two weeks since the last release (sorry!) This time I focused on articulating some key “joints” in the skeleton of how the game comes together: – Wormhole placement now has much more variety, while maintaining the rule that you can tell which direction…
DetailsChris here. Since we’re now moving into starting the custom Ark backer rewards work, it was suggested that we show the existing ship designs to players. This videoonly shows the ones that are currently “wired up AND uploaded,” which doesn’t include remotely everything that is complete just yet, but it’s a good start. More info…
DetailsRelease notes here! The main player-facing changes here are the rebalancing of fuel and power. Fuel costs have been halved so that your fleet size is not almost always capped by Fuel, but sometimes by Science. Power costs themselves are unchanged, but spending science on power-consuming units now gives you a galaxy-wide +% boost to…
