5.558 New Mods And Authors

Wow it has been a month. Incredible. Well, new AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.558_New_Mods_And_Authors The prior post-completion release notes page reached FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND WORDS, so there's a fresh new release notes page that is way shorter. For a game where official development finished a year and a half ago, to have 58k words of changes spread out over 68 releases in that post-release timespan is pretty incredible. A bulk of that was from either Badger while he was staff at Arcen, or then volunteers and modders such as Dismiss and Puffin in particular (and Badger as a volunteer/modder as well, I should be clear). Anyhow, about this actual release: couple of minor bugfixes in the main game, and some changes to make things easier for coders. Then a whole bunch of mod content. There's a whole new mod, Azaran Empire, introducing a new faction by Arphar. The idea is that this new faction are a highly centralized empire bringing their own planet into the galaxy from which they will produce ships to take over planets and build structures to bolster their production. Face off against them in order to gain rewards and hack their facilities to gain new ships to use either against them or the AI. Or fail and watch them take over the galaxy. Includes rewards for Necromancer, alongside some rewards for Humans to keep on fighting. Sappers alterations is a new mod by another new author, obscuris. This mod alters how the Neinzul Sappers faction behaves and how their economy works, along with adding new units and mechanics. There are then notable numbers of updates for a variety of mods by Dismiss, including ExoWar, Reclaimers, and Points of Interest. And then also updates to Badger's notable Sidekicks mod, which is a pretty beefy extension of some concepts from DLC3. More to come soon. Enjoy! You can wishlist our upcoming title Heart of the Machine! Steam page is more up to date than it was, but a lot is still to-be-revealed. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/ The closed alpha started, but then was put on pause while a lot of stuff is reworked. That rework has been ongoing for a couple of months now, much longer than expected, but I think that we're now within about a month from being able to start things up again. The game will be unrecognizable to prior testers, thanks in large part to feedback from them, and I'm really excited about just how even much more awesome it is. We'll roll back around to regular tester additions as soon as we can. Feel free to go to our discord (https://discord.gg/arcengames) and post here: https://discordapp.com/channels/240637654717300736/1086679572373848244 if you're interested in being a part of either the early alpha or a later phase.

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.
