AI War 2 News

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.568_AMU_Recovery

This one has a handful of fixes, and then a number of mod updates. For those using SirLimbo's mods, those are now functional again after being broken in the prior build.

This new set of changes includes some cool stuff to Radiant Phoenix's stable of mods, and a number of balance and fun things with the Sidekicks mods from Badger, as well.

Enjoy!

You can wishlist our upcoming title Heart of the Machine! Steam page is more up to date than it was, but a lot is still to-be-revealed. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/ We'll be resuming having alpha testers within the near future, but the exact timeline is no longer certain. It probably will be sometime in October, but no promises; sorry about the shifting estimates. That said, stuff with that game is really continuing to build in an exciting way, and I can't wait to show more soon.

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.567_Scourge_Civil_War

This one is quite small, aside from mods. There are a few bugfixes and RadiantPhoenix which are not yet fully documented in the release notes, but those are fairly small.

There are some inwork things on several mods as well, but then the completed things are mainly from Badger on his Sidekicks mod. This includes a new Scourge Civil War faction, and some notable balance improvements in general.

Enjoy!

New hotfix build for AI War 2, fixes issues in the build from yesterday: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.566_You_Saw_Nothing

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.565_The_League_Of_Arphar_Mods

This one is pretty huge on the modding front, and it's not just the mods from Arphar -- although they are certainly the hugest part.

Essentially, Arphar has introduced two entirely new factions, with their own ships and everything. He's also updated a number of his existing mods, and added new map types in them, and a bunch of other things. One of the new mods is The League of Evil, which is just such a cool name to begin with. Those have extra bonuses in them if you're playing as a Necromancer yourself, which is extra cool. There's also a new City Ships mod, which has a new invader appear with an allegiance that you can set. This release also has the first instance of a mod that mods another mod; in this case, Arphar has added yet another mod, which mods the Hydral Federation mod by StarKelp, adjusting balance.

Badger has made some balance updates to the Sidekicks mod.

Dismiss has made a ton of updates to his own mods, as well as to some core code things to support other modders, and to fix a few recent bugs and typos, and add some extra features related to ship targeting.

Enjoy!

Last week was super productive, and the plans for this next week really bring a lot of things together in a way where having testers again would make sense. Very excited for folks to see what's going on, it's really quite an exciting title.

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.564_MMAP_No.21

This fixes a crash issue that was occurring on linux due to "too many mmaps" due to a bug in unity that also gets hit in some other popular games, but which we're now able to bypass hitting thanks to the extensive debugging aid of Zoey. As a side effect of investigating this, performance should be better related to large amounts of text being shown on every OS, and on every OS there is a notable reduction in RAM usage in all games.

Dismiss has fixed up the FRD waffling that could happen, and also consolidated some of the other FRD settings. And then there are a few mod updates, and some new features for modders.

Enjoy!

I'm making great progress, but still not quite ready to add tester feedback into the mix. Very excited for folks to see what's going on, though.
