A.N.N.E News

Hey all,

the update is finally out for PC, New areas to explore!

The MAC and Linux are building and will be ready soon. I started working last week and it's been pretty challenging to work full time and keep up the pace on A.N.N.E. I couldn't get everything I wanted in there so expect small updates in the coming days to correct all the things that are broken, unfinished or unpolished.

Have a good one.

- Player movement values have been reverted to their original slightly lower movement speeds (very tiny change). The extra tiny speed boost was interesting but didn't improve the platforming's tightness.

- Shotgun fire rate has been reduced but the range has been slightly increased a little through bullet speed increase.

- The grenade collectible did not give the grenade weapon.

- player ship weapon A bullet speed has been increased from 120 to 140

- Map scroll speed increased from 4 to 6 (50%)


travel Tunnel 1-2 fixes:

- The large cruiser near the end of the level has seen many interior and exterior changes in order to avoid a few glitches including but not limited to an infinite death loop.- Modified possible landing locations to avoid an infinite death loop glitch.

- Made the level boss higher level with 20% more hp
I will need a general balancing pass later since I made enemies a bit more squishy but decided to add more I will need to raise the ship's required xp to balance things out for the next update.

Thank you guys for taking the time to report the bugs! Keep em coming!

Additional changes:

Fixed some bad Menu and hud scaling.
the collectible rifle is now visually aligned.
changed collision size on the Data Server Ship quest item.

PC available, MAC and Linux shortly. Thank you

Happy Holidays!

I am back from the dead, metaphorically speaking of course. I got back to working on A.N.N.E a few months back and now it's time for a little update! There are still a few improvements to be made but I am very happy with this latest update. My plan at the moment is to slice the game into chapters and release these chapters every few months depending on the time I can spend on it and how much I am chasing my tail trying to fix bugs and issues since I am the only one working on A.N.N.E at the moment with the occasional help of my old friend and programmer David. I am having a blast.

Letting my creativity loose and working on lots of smaller projects during the past two years have helped me clear my mind. It's easy for me to be objective with A.N.N.E. I am confident I can complete my vision and I am having fun again.

Hope you like the new Artwork :) inspired by old NES box art and retro sci-fi movie posters.

Sorry for those who made it really far in the previous version but we're starting over :). I would recommend to please delete your save game files and start from scratch as too many changes have been made since the last version. This is the last time that this will be required since I want the upcoming updates to continue the adventure where you left off. Enjoy the game until you make it to World 2 and then hopefully I can have another meaty update by the end of the first quarter of 2023 (wow look at that CEO talk). Thank you to everyone who has posted lengthy QOL and bug reports on Steam forums and Discord. I will get to all of those eventually.

Lotsa love, lots of hope, and best wishes for the Holidays everyone.

PS: at the moment of writing this, LINUX and MAC builds are being uploaded...

Hello,

We have been hard at work bringing A.N.N.E online since June of this year. Slowly but surely. As you can see here: www.annewars.com.

If we can we will eventually bring A.N.N.E inside A.N.N.E Wars where it will be online coop. however until then we are slowly building it back from the ground up. It will feel like A.N.N.E. But online and free to play. Of course we are preparing some awesome perks/special accounts to those who purchased or backed up A.N.N.E. However these are plans are are not a 100% certain thing as funding for the game is not infinite. however we are hoping to be able to easily maintain and frequently update A.N.N.E Wars in order to warrant occasional visit from you guys.

More updates and news on the website eventually.

Peace

Mo
