Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2
Mod Support Drops Late Next Week! (Postponed!)
We apologize for the inconvenience, but a horrible illusive bug appeared last minute which is causing crashes on most maps. The update unfortunately will be postponed to sometime early next week, we will be working hard to identify the bug. It's very difficult since it only happens in finalized builds of the game. Sorry everyone!
Happy weekend everyone! We apologize for our silence, but development of mod support got a little complicated, so we were unable to estimate accurate release dates. Well it's finally in the testing stages and we can confirm that the first mod support update will arrive next week!
This update will include full support for character modding, which has been designed to be the most user friendly and automated system we have made yet! Creating a new character mod can take as little as 5 minutes, so be prepared for loads of user content!
Ps, we are preparing for full release of version 1.0 after this update, so do not expect a great deal of content in this update besides characters, since this coming update is purely focused on alpha testing for mods. Loads of content is on it's way for version 1.0 though, so hold tight! Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Auto LOD Generation In Character Mods! - Mod News
Great news! Modded characters are now completely automatically optimized procedurally in game. not only does the system automatically crunch and remove polygons for distant characters, but it's even smart enough to identify objects (such as weapons and shields) that can be easily turned into sprites to ensure those small details are preserved at long render distances, all while keeping frame counts up. We look forward to the first update for mod support and we cannot wait to see your work!
Screen shot shows the results of completely automatic LOD generation. Note the shield and spear were turned into 2D sprites.

-Other small code changes and fixes.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! We hope to be updating the road map next week sometime, as we may be transitioning to Beta v0.1 for the next update(Keep in mind, beta is not full release yet).
T-Rex, Omaha Beach and More! - V0.6
-New Omaha Beach remake. A large scaled up version of the iconic location. Placing units in the water will spawn them in U-boats.(This map was part of the reason for delay, we need to develop a spawning system for the AI)
-New T-Rex unit! That's right, this big boy is finally in the game!
-New Orc fantasy unit!
--New ranged behavior, 'goal attack range'. Ranged units will fire upon their enemy when in range, however between firing they will run forward slightly until they are at their preferred distance. This allows units in the back to also get in range with their enemy. This also nerfed ranged units that had slightly farther attack range to not be as effective against units with less range.
-Fixed bug where the AI sometimes fell to the ground at the very start, injuring or even killing them.
-Null team switch UI for RTS fixed in highland map.
-AI system has some ability to spawn pre-pooled AI.
-Other small changes and fixes.
Have a great weekend everyone!

-Fixed a bug where 'Exit Menu' button would not work during possession.
-Some issues fixed with RTS pathfinding.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Note: Some of these updates have taken longer than expected. Try to keep in mind that there are only 4 full timers here, and since release some of us are trying to catch up on much needed vacation time, weddings etc. We appreciate your patience.
Campaign, 3 New Units And WW2 Map Now Live!
Hello everyone. We apologize for the delay, but we have for you our biggest update yet! The campaign system took us longer than expected, but we are happy with where it is now, and we feel the possibilities are endless! The campaign in this update is title "The Birdbarian Hordes!", a Roman times parody and alternate history where birds rise up against the power of Rome, instead of Barbarians. Currently there is only one demo level, but much more are coming, including completely new campaigns and stories. (Possibly a WW2 first person campaign next?!)
Why Campaigns In UEBS2?
Campaigns offer an alternate, more engaging and challenging experience for the user, but one of the main purposes is the future of modding. Part of the reason development has taken longer than expected, is that everything we add to the campaigns has to be user friendly and moddable. Everything you see and experience in these campaigns will be possible to create or modify yourself, allowing the modding community infinite possibilities to potentially create entire user made games.
Update Notes:
- Campaigns now active! One campaign demo is playable, more are coming.
- 3 new units. Roman General, Roman Archer and Giant Chicken.
- New WW2 map with miles of trenches, craters and bunkers.
- Many rules and behaviors unique to campaign missions added.
- Full Auto Tank now has armor and other matching stats to original tank.
- Some changes made to RTS pathfinding.
Possession changes:
- Added aim/zoom for ranged units
- Added screen damage indicator
- Fixed collision issues with third-person camera
We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Enjoy the new content!
