Developers Update 33

Welcome to our 33rd developers update for Call to Arms.

We have been quite silent lately, as we were working super hard on the next update for Call to Arms. As our communication has been far from perfect, while in the heat of pushing ahead with the many improvements we are working on, we decided to launch our official discord to public!



Our goal is to have a meeting point for similar minded people, who enjoy our games, share experiences and learn from each other. We want to improve our communication and share what we are doing and allow you to ask questions to developers more frequently.


This developers update is going to be rather technical, as we want to report on our performance improvements progress.


You will notice a performance boost of 10% on a simple, static scene, with no units around, even though it uses more advanced anti-aliasing methods.



In this scene, we disabled the distance clipping and you can see, that the performance difference increased to 60% boost. Simply put, we are able to render scenes on a much larger distance now and we are still working on enhancing it. You will also notice, that we render more objects in the newer builds and still have this huge gain.




As you can see, the FPS increase somewhere between 100-150%. This is an amazing result and we had to triple check it ourselves, as we couldn't believe it. But it's true and we are not done optimizing the game yet and we will deliver further improvements this year!

Of course, we weren't neglecting our other work and pushed hard to finalize the new factions, including the new weaponry you can expect in the upcoming update this summer, which will be really big. We also progressed well with the campaigns and will start the QA of the German campaign soon, which means it is on its way to release later this year.
