New AI War 2 build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Post_Completion_Part_II#5.572_Polish_And_Reduced_Memory_Pressure Twenty-two days since the last one, wow. Time really flies sometiems. This one has a bunch of things to polish up the game in various ways, and reduce memory turnover and memory usage in certain late-game situations. Also some bugfixes that help some specific crazy savegames. If you're playing certain absurdly-huge games that were getting too high in RAM usage and losing performance because of it, it should be notably better now. For most folks it won't be noticeable, but it's great to keep those edge cases in check. The list of other relatively small things that are fixed are really long, and worth a look in the release notes. This includes fixes to a number of different mods, as well as the base game. Big props to Dimiss for the big majority of that, and RadiantPhoenix for the rest. Enjoy! You can wishlist our upcoming title Heart of the Machine! Steam page is very out of date, but will have updates in the next few months. You can see more sneak peeks of things on our discord in the meantime, if you want! The game will be launching in 2024. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/Heart_of_the_Machine/ We'll be resuming having alpha testers before the end of this year; the game has gone through a huge amount of growth and changes, and I can't wait to show that off to more folks. 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.

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.
