Hey people, Luke here. We're messing with some new movement system changes over on the new Unstable branch that are really experimental . But fix some very long-standing issues with how some of our ships approach, chase and track targets in respect to velocity and acceleration. E

Luke here, I'm pushing out a general optimization and crash resolution patch for ATS. We are still working to increase ATS's "heavy-load crash resistance". Casual campaign gameplay should (I hope) no longer crash. Or at least take 8x longer to crash. Gameplay under very heavy loa

Hey People! Luke here. I know it's been almost a year, but an actual update to the stable version of the game is coming!!! (ironic because tester version is more stable, though level balance is direly needed so the baseline experience for a new player is pretty bad) With any luck

Hey, Luke here. Yes, the update name is a Blade Runner reference. Since the game is out, is reasonably stable, and people quite like it (92% review score!) We've finally had some time to relax, and deal with a large number of back-burner issues. Brendan and I have been working aw

Hello everyone, Luke here. There's a memory leak in our rendering systems when clearing the play field and it's proving very difficult to hunt down. Over time it will use up ATS's Memory reserve and crash ATS. Some systems don't seem to crash - which is frustrating me because it
