AI War 2 News

New AI War 2 build, this one mainly with a number of tweaks in it: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.563_Tweaks

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... at some point in the near future? I'm plugging away on lots of super cool stuff, but it's not quite to the point where I actually need feedback on it yet. That will change in a few weeks at most. Can't wait to show off more gameplay and videos and screenshots and such before too much longer, too, because it's really coming togther very well.

Second AI War 2 build of the day, so you know there were some issues in the prior one: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.562_Woah_There_Buddy

The bugs that were in there are now fixed, and a couple of new mod things have also been added.

To be honest, I hit the milestone where I had planned to bring in testers, but I find I am just not ready for them; specifically, I have plenty of things to work on, I don't have any questions that testers could answer at the moment, and I want to stay focused on pushing things further fast. It will change at some point in the coming weeks to where I start wanting to have feedback, but I no longer have an exact milestone. I mainly just need to be at a point where I need more testing than what I can do on my own. It won't take too long, in the grand scheme.

New A War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.561_Have_At_Thee

This one is pretty giant. The bulk of it is from Dismiss, except for some of the mods. There are a couple of performance improvements and other fixes. There are also a lot of improvements to the lobby to make options clearer, the faction list prettier and also more informative, and so on. There are also a number of improvements that are more focused on ease of use of the codebase for coders and modders.

There's a new mod by first-time modder (but longtime Youtube instructor) Strategic Sage, who has made a mod called "Simple Options," that simplifies the lobby quite a bit.

Another new mod by a new modder is Radiant Maps, by RadiantPhoenix. These range from interesting topologies, to hair-tearing topologies, to a few humor-focused topologies.

Points of Interest, Generator, and Necro Party have also all seen updates from Dismiss, ranging from a new AI type -- contributed by Arphar, along with info for some of the fixes -- to various smaller fixes and improvements.

This fixes the ambush posts (thanks Dismiss!) and possibly some other related mechanics. This also includes a number of mod updates, and a couple of minor quality of life improvements.

More to come soon. Enjoy!

That rework has been ongoing for a couple of months now, much longer than expected, but we're now within a few weeks of being able to start things up again. The game will be unrecognizable to prior testers, thanks in large part to feedback from them, and I'm really excited about just how even much more awesome it is. We'll roll back around to regular tester additions as soon as we can.

New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.559_Deringing

This one includes a bugfix to an annoying issue with "rings that stick around too long" that has bothered some people (but not shown up for everyone) for a long time, fingers crossed.

This also includes improvements to the outguard sidebar interface courtesy of Dismiss, updates to a few mods, and some improvements for coders working with the game.

More to come soon. Enjoy!
