September has ended and we’re closer to the console launches of Elemental War and Tri6: Infinite than ever before! And we have a first release date as well!
Elemental War 1.7.6 is a small hotfix release mostly affecting the Steam version.
As a small addition to yesterday’s update to Elemental War 1.7.5 we have a small hotfix. That’s necessary, as we found out the Steam version doesn’t properly restore some stored data like the tutorial progress which is very inconvenient. We also fixed two more small bugs.
Full changelog
Fixes:
fixed some data not being loaded properly playing on Steam
increased brightness of skip button for dialogs
fixed Code of Conduct text not being visible

Elemental War 1.7.3
Due to a bug report and our progress on the console versions we have a new Elemental War update with some fixes.
The last update was quite a while ago and in the meantime we worked a lot on the console versions to finish them. As we got some critical bug report a few hours ago we decided to release another update before the official 1.8.0 release that contains already all fixes we did in the meantime. The critical fix is for an issue in all multiplayer modes when starting a second game in an existing session.

Progress Report September 2020
August was a very busy month with the final spurt on the console versions of Elemental War and Tri6: Infinite, four content updates for Tri6: Infinite, a big Spine update and our new animated logo. And September won’t be less busy!
Tri6: Infinite release and future plans, Elemental War entering console certification soon, Red Skies: Ascension progress update and a big Spine update coming in August – read about it now!
Finally our second game, Tri6: Infinite, has been released for PC (Windows, Linux, Mac) on Steam, itch.io and Kartridge.
Tri6: Infinite is an endless racer in a Tron like cyberspace setting. Randomly distributed obstacles with increasing difficulty level, virus opponents and 11 powerups provide plenty of variations. The longer you survive the higher your score gets and you can try to climb to the top of the global leaderboards. For even more fun, Tri6: Infinite even contains a four player splitscreen mode to play against your friends.
For additional challenges we’re partnering with 4Players and SCILL Play. SCILL Play is free to use and provides you with challenges you can solve in Tri6: Infinite to increase your SCILL level and unlock exclusive skins.
If you’re a streamer/let’s player and want to cover Tri6: Infinite, feel free to check out our woovit campaign. On Twitch we also enabled some drops. Just keep in mind you have to link your accounts with our own account system for it to work.

Elemental War 1.7.0
After a long time we finally finished Elemental War 1.7.0 with huge performance improvements!
More than two months after the last update and a lot of work we finally finished our next update. We upgraded to the latest Unity version and a new render pipeline. Additionally we also improved some CPU bottlenecks in the code. The end result is performance gain of around 100% in most cases which is pretty awesome!
Additionally we fixed some bugs we discovered that already were present in previous versions and we improved multiplayer, especially for the Steam version of the game.
We will continue our support and now focus mostly on the console versions again to release them later this year.

upgrade to Unity 2019.3 and URP for better performance

reduced volume of Pentagram attack
