Launch Day Tomorrow! Multiplayer Delayed Due To Fire

I'm glad everyone's so excited about Automata Empire. I'm excited too! Making this game has been a fun challenge and I can't wait to see what strange systems people engineer within the cellular automata mechanics. Unfortunately, there was a bizarre accident a few weeks ago in which my dev computer's USB port and motherboard were briefly ON FIRE. I guess I should have known better than to listen to Dethklok while coding the game. Luckily, the game's code backed up before it went up in flames and Automata Empire was saved! But sadly, this means the game will not have online multiplayer available at launch. I will order new desktop components and arrange a solution to finish testing multiplayer so I can make that feature available as soon as possible. I'll make an announcement when multiplayer is back online. Since it's unusual that an indie cellular automata RTS has multiplayer at all, I hope nobody will be upset by this delay. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to seeing screenshots of your mighty empires on the community page this weekend! Thank you all.

Seize power and build an empire of fuzzy cellular automata monsters!
Inspired by Conway's Game of Life, Automata Empire challenges you to herd hundreds of mindless automata subjects to smash your rivals' castles and steal their territory. While your loyal subjects lack individual intelligence, you can sacrifice them to build chains of taverns and roads to impose order on chaos. Ready to invade? Build some high-velocity catapults to launch your minions directly into battle. Balance expansion and consolidation carefully to grow your empire into enemy territory and gain dominance over the toroid. Or cleverly engineer feedback loops to surprise your opponents with overwhelming force.
*online multiplayer delayed until after launch
