[p]Wishlist Ashes II[/p][p]Building on player feedback from our Steam Next Fest demo showcase of Ashes of the Singularity II, Armies will now organize themselves into a formation: close range damage dealers and meat shields form the front line while less well armored, longer ranged snipers and artillery will form the back ranks. And now, an Army's facing can also be quickly adjusted to properly face oncoming threats. These new features allow increased control over the outcome of a battle, and helps you execute more complex tactical plays. We've also added helpful tooltips, individual units have their own recruitment hotkeys, and several new features to pause unit production, manage production queuing and more.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[p]Ashes of the Singularity II, the sequel to the massive-scale RTS, takes you to a world in the near future where three factions are fighting for the fate of the solar system: the United Earth Forces (UEF), the Post-Human Coalition (PHC), and the AI Substrate. Whether you're interested in the single-player campaign, multiplayer, or skirmish matches, the faction you fight for is in your hands. [/p][p][/p][p]Joining the fight against the United Earth Forces (UEF), the Post-Human Coalition (PHC) is a group of former humans that transported their consciousness into virtual reality. Their power derives from Turinium, a manufactured computation material, which allows the PHC to expand their capabilities in all forms.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]What's Next After Steam Next Fest[/h2][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Ashes of the Singularity II landed in the top 50 most played demos during Steam Next Fest, and the demo is still available through March 16.[/p][p][/p][p]In this video, we open up what we call a "zoo map" for the United Earth Forces faction, it's a development tool that lays out every unit and building for a faction in one place so we can review them all at a glance. We talk a bit about how we use these internally and what's still coming before launch, including the Substrate faction, a full campaign, and further gameplay adjustments.[/p][p][/p][p]A bunch of us on the dev team jumped into multiplayer matches during Next Fest to experience the game alongside you firsthand, and that feedback, yours and ours, is actively shaping what comes next. We're continuing to collect your input and make adjustments as development moves forward.[/p]
