AI War 2 v0.779 Released! "Quick Starts" Plus new trailer!

Release notes here. This marks the first build of the game that is available to press to preview. How nerve-wracking! There's still a lot we need to finish up in the next two weeks prior to Early Access when it comes to polish and bugfixing, but we have to actually let people see the game at SOME point. I'm really pleased with how this particular build is feeling, though. There are still known issues, but the fundamentals are really strong. One of the cool new things in this build is the addition of quick starts, which folks have been asking for forever. It basically provides a really handy way to get into the game without having to ever touch the lobby and all its complexity. Which is doubly good right now, because the lobby is still a mess of temporary UI. The quick starts will be hugely useful long after the lobby is polished, though, because they allow for easy choices of cool scenarios. If you want to create a quick start option of your own (please feel free!), you can simply go through the following process:

Create a game with the settings you want.
Save it.
Write up a little description about it, and put a name for it.
Send it to us on the forums or mantis.

It's very straightforward! There are also a number of changes in this build to make things prettier and to fix a fair list of bugs. More to come soon! Oh right... we also have a new trailer! Huge thanks to Pepisolo for going all-out on this one. He really put in a ton of time, and it shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cimaJgm0WDM The Usual Reminders Quick reminder of our new Steam Developer Page. If you follow us there, you'll be notified about any game releases we do. Also: 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. Reviews make a material difference, and like most indies, we could really use the support. 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.
