Release notes here. First note: we're still running our #loveindies giveaway through the end of tomorrow. Sign up to potentially get a free copy of AI War 2 or Stars Beyond Reach. On the subject of #loveindies, would you mind leaving a Steam review for some/any of our games? It doesn't have to be much more detailed than a thumbs up, but if you like a game we made and want more people to find it, that's how you make it happen. Like most indies, we could really use the support. Reviews make a material difference in pushing us out of the obscurity of the sludge that often surrounds indie titles on the storefront these days. Please note that you don't have to leave a review in order to enter the giveaway; and you shouldn't leave a good review if you don't think good things. Reviews don't help your chances in the giveaway, blah blah blah let's just clearly keep things ethical. Okay! Now about this release of AI War 2. :)

FINALLY, oh goodness finally, I've got ships translated over to using DrawMeshInstanced and thus running way more efficiently. This has been on my todo list for TWO YEARS at this point. Last week I got the shots, this week the ships. I'm super stoked!
There are some other performance improvements here, and some various visual improvements related to these, too.
Badger made it so that you can tune the allegiances of the Devourer, Macrophage, and Nanocaust from the lobby. So many possibilities with this one! On the extreme silly end, you can basically have a game where the Borg and Unicron go do all the fighting for you while you hang back, if you just want to watch a simulation you barely take part in.
AI Progress is now tracked for factions other than players, and there's a lot of nuance that will be coming in how the AI deals with these other threats if they are neutral to you or hostile to you and the AI. Badger has cool plans there.
Dealing with remains rebuilders and engineers is now a lot better when in the midst of battle, since they no longer die to remains.
Seventeen metric tons of bugfixes. More to come.

Quick reminder of our new Steam Developer Page. If you follow us there, you'll be notified about any game releases we do. Enjoy! Chris

AI War II is a grand strategic RTS against an overwhelming, inhuman enemy who has conquered the galaxy. The enemy has made only a single error: underestimating you.

You must steal as much technology as you can, and take enough territory to fortify your bases and launch your attacks. But every conquest you make turns the attention of the AI ever more in your direction... so choose your targets with care.

It's "a sequel to [Arcen's] enormo-space RTS AI War, which we called'one of this year's finest strategy games' back in 2009" (Tom Sykes, PC Gamer)

What's New?

We still have a lot of work to do on the game, and we're undergoing some major work with our beta testers before heading to Early Access, but a lot is already awesome:

The game is crazy moddable.
It's multithreaded to take full use of modern computers.
The new 3D graphics are working out great.
The UI has already been dramatically improved by the introduction of a tabbed sidebar in the main view, and streamlining of several other mechanics that felt very difficult in the past. More to come, there.
We’ve got art for over 130 distinct units (not counting different mark levels), and there's more to come.
We’ve got over 1500 lines of spoken dialogue from more than 25 actors, focusing primarily on the human side at the moment; we have a few hundred lines of AI-side taunts and chatter, some of which is recorded but just not processed yet.
There are hundreds of high quality sound effects for a varied battlefield soundscape (with distance attenuation if you’re far away, and positional 3D audio if you’re down in the thick of it), all routed through a tuned mixer setup for optimal listening to all the various parts.
We have a set of music from Classic that is over four and a half hours long, and the new music from Pablo is partly in, but mostly set to be mastered and integrated within the next week or two.
There’s also a ton of map types, many of them new, and with a lot of sub-options to make them even more varied.
And a whole lot more.
