The Second World War is in Alpha Testing
We've just recently begun the Alpha testing phase for Making History: The Second World War. The game is feature complete but we still have content to add, UI to polish and some models to import into the game. As we test, we'll be making AI improvements and evaluating the feedback we receive from our qualified testers. We hope to announce the Beta version by the end of August leading to an early Fall release.
We have release a teaser video on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/Dhzd2iymN-I
MH2 Update: Linux Multiplayer Improvements
We've fixed a few issues that affected the performance for some Linux users. Includes change to population number for Galicia.
Update: The Second World War - Air Power
New post on the Factus Games website about air units, features and strategy. More screenshots too.
While implementing Linux for The Second World War, we found some hidden issues that can cause trouble for Linux Multiplayer's. The problems were traced to the initial MH2 implementation. When this code was ported to TGW the issue was partially transferred to that product.
Most of the fixes were performance related. However in one case, if a human player left a game, the AI would not take over the country and it would basically become dormant. This was only ever bugged for Linux users and it has now been resolved.
New Post on Second World War
Latest news on Making History: The Second World War includes new in-game screenshots and units. Also, description of Naval gameplay and features.
Factus Games is pleased to announce a new home for our company and the Making History series. Our new website is here to provide our community with up-to-date news on Making History and other current and future development.
As original members of the Making History development team, Factus Games recognizes the special environment formed by a dedicated community on the old MH Gaming Headquarters site.
With that in mind, factusgames.com will include a community Forum. We hope this will grow into a useful and entertaining location where users can share gaming and historical commentary.
For the near future, this site will not serve as a repository for Scenarios, nor will it offer a MP server. These features are currently available through Steam. Factus Games is a new and small independent developer. We feel it’s best to keep our attention as much as possible on making our games. Of course, things do change so we will remain open to adjustments and the addition of new features as trends demand.
Performance Update for MH2
We fixed a few issues that might have caused memory crashes in the Steam version of Making History II. This update will not resolve every out of memory problem but we hope this improves the game for most users.
