Hey everybody, Exciting news! You may have heard of the upcoming paid expansion for Starward Rogue, AuGMENTED. Well, we’ve decided to push the free content part of that a month earlier, as in… today! Merry Christmas! 🙂 So, in today’s update, as well as containing a bunch of improvements and fixes we are also introducing…
Release notes here! This one had a lot of under-the-hood work to further the architecture goal of building the “Major” factions (human player, The AI) with mostly the same toolbox used for the “Minor” factions (Dyson, Devourer, Nanocaust, etc). This implicitly makes them all much more moddable and flexible. But the result that stands out…
Release notes here! This one is an assortment of changes, including another graphics pipeline shift from Chris and some neat stuff from community member BadgerBadger (if you notice a wormhole name glowing red to tell you where a wave is coming from, that’s who to thank). There are also some further efforts to limit shots…
(In case you don’t read our forums or our kickstarter, here’s a link to a recent gameplay video, from before this version’s work) Release notes here! This one is almost all about UI. The meat of it was totally redoing two key parts of the UI: the main ship tooltip, and the pre-game lobby. I’m…
Release notes here! Don’t Die Harder, Die Smarter This one goes a long way towards making AIW2’s units much more enthusiastic about their jobs. AI Waves (and Threat in general) now behave in a much more intelligent fashion. Well, except for the enforce-stupid-refusal-to-retreat-for-30-seconds change, which just makes it less annoying. Less annoying to you. Very…
Release notes here! This one is about input. Camera input. Chris redid the entire camera system, and now it’s much more configurable in the Settings window (and the code itself is massively moddable). The “Free Look” mode is a major new thing, but the default view is also very different, in response to player feedback…
Release notes here! One resounding theme of recent UI feedback is “the upward-expanding pile of buttons at the bottom has got to go”. So for this release we told all the functions in that menu “you ain’t gotta go home, but you can’t stay here”. The result is a general layout of: 1) Passive info…
Release notes here! This one focuses on the UI, but there’s a lot of other stuff too. On the UI front: 1) The “Let’s make a better sidebar” experiment has been abandoned, beaten unconscious, and fed to the Devourer Golem. In some order. – Now we have a sidebar very much more like the original…
Release notes here! This one is mostly cleaning up various issues that have been highlighted since we made Alpha 0.600 available to all backers (well, as many as we had steam-keys for, sorry about the delay while we get more from Valve). But one very visible change is another revision to the art style to…
Release notes here! This one is the first version available to our kickstarter backers as a whole, instead of just the earlier testing groups. The game is still very much in testing and development, however 🙂 That said, there’s one new key piece: an in-game tutorial, and the engine which makes more of those possible.…
