Developement update #0
What's coming in the next update and how far in developement is it? Find out in this post!
First, let's start with what's coming:
The new AI, named Skynet, will replace the old AI, named Logan, improving not only in intelligence and capabilities, but also in performance, using less resources overall.
The new achievements added yesterday will start to work in the next update.
New map generation options.
Bugfixes and performance improvements
How are things going?
- The new AI is pretty much done, it just needs some testing and a few more tactics.
- The new achievements still need to be implemented, but the needed statistics are already being traced in the lastest build.
- The map generation options haven't been started yet, but for how i implemented the map generation (in a modular fashion), it shouldn't take too long
- All the known bugs have been fixed, the fog of war is also coming to the multiplayer.
So that's all folks, I hope you have enjoyed the game so far and that you'll keep enjoying it!
