Hello everyone! We want to thank you all for your continued support in our journey with this beast, Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2. UEBS2 is already bigger than we ever planned, but we think we can still do better..
We have decided to delay the release to (Hopefully early) spring of 2022. We have been working super hard on both UEBS2 and The Black Masses. As some of you may know, we just pushed The Black Masses to beta 0.1. A great accomplishment for us here @ Brilliant Game Studios! The open world title is currently on sale for 66% off, so head on over if you wish to support our other titles!
I hope everyone is having a fantastic week, we will be posting new videos soon so keep your eyes open!
Regards,
Brilliant Game Studios.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I wanted to address the some comments popping up around UEBS2. I first want to assure you, we never planned to stop updating UEBS1. We will continue to release updates before the UEBS2 release. Over the years UEBS1 has grown a fair amount, much of which we have the community to thank. In the next paragraph, I want to go over some of the reasons it's been difficult to deliver on all requests for UEBS1, and why a sequel makes the most sense to us. Prepare for lots of technical stuff!
UEBS has a lot of potential for improvement, and the directions the game can go are infinite. During development of UEBS1, I was the only developer with very limited resources. Brilliant Games has since expanded into a team, and our capabilities, skillsets and budget have increased. The crowd tech in UEBS1 is one of the main systems that drive the game. At Brilliant Games we LOVE battles, and large battles are not possible without some seriously advanced technology. Believe us when we say, you can't just open an editor and throw a bunch of characters in, you won't get past 100 without issues in most cases. For those of you who don't know, UEBS1 crowd tech is actually 2 generations old here at Brilliant Games. The Black Masses crowd tech is the next generation of UEBS crowd tech, and was rewritten from the ground up. UEBS2 is the next after Black Masses, and it was also completely rewritten. So why am I talking about crowd tech? Because when developing something this advanced, it often comes with limitations and sacrifices as to what it can do. UEBS1 crowd tech is aging, and it's becoming difficult to squeeze much more out of it. One example of a brick wall limitation in UEBS1, is the ability to have more variety in animations, as well as unit types per battle. This is because each animation and character takes a serious amount of memory/ram. This issue was majorly improved in Black Masses, and now completely solved in UEBS2. UEBS2 animations now have almost no significant memory footprint.
So the next question is. Why not bring this tech into UEBS1? Simply said, the entire game would break. UEBS1 has been built around the old generation of crowd tech, and everything else would have to be re-coded and rewritten. And the biggest problem? The thousands of modded characters would no longer work, and years of work from the community would be lost.
At Brilliant Games, we are obsessed with creating and innovating. This new tech in UEBS2 is our greatest accomplishment yet, which we think may set some serious standards for the industry. With all the major limitations of UEBS1 gone (Including pathfinding), we now have the freedom to develop something truly massive and memorable. We can't justify a sequel unless it's 10 times better in every way! And that's what we aim to do. (Technically speaking the crowd tech handles 100 times more characters).
UEBS2 is our greatest undertaking yet. With the new generation of crowd tech, story/player driven campaigns, and greater support for community creativity and modding, we hope UEBS2 will be a benchmark in technology and creativity within its community.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Robert, Brilliant Game Studios.

Game Description:
Welcome to Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator 2, the most ridiculous and insane battle simulator in existence! Create eye watering battles with hundreds of thousands, and even millions of characters on screen! Jump into multiple story and player driven campaigns or make your own and share them with your friends! Sandbox mode will return, with infinite army sizes and far greater flexibility than ever. FPS invasion will also be returning, where you play through the eyes of a soldier fighting off hordes of zombies in first person.
Lets not ignore the elephant in the room! UEBS2 features revolutionary new crowd rendering and AI technology which uses pure GPU POWER to bring nation size battles to life! UEBS2 handles 100 times more characters on screen than its predecessor, and in far greater detail and quality. Details were not ignored, every individual has highly advanced decision making and animation, all while working together for a greater goal. We are also working hard on our own 'mass' GPU physics engine. Our hope is to bring physics to a scale never before seen, which may allow thousands of ragdolls, and millions of physics based objects. Keep in mind, our physics engine is in very early development so we can't make any guarantees.
If you fancy killing some time by making 10,000 chickens fight an army of Roman soldiers, or perhaps pitting 45,000 Perisians against 300 ogres in a canyon, then I have good news for you. Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator is free for keeps this weekend. It's a big sandbox simulation
If you fancy killing some time by making 10,000 chickens fight an army of Roman soldiers, or perhaps pitting 45,000 Perisians against 300 ogres in a canyon, then I have good news for you. Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator is free for keeps this weekend. It's a big sandbox simulation where you just make random factions fight to see who wins. That's it - and it's pretty great.

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay on this, but we were finally able to fix the lighting issue with AMD 5000 graphics cards. Below I will tell the story of what we went through to give you all a perspective on what graphics programming is like.
The Story:
First off, we are die hard AMD fans here, and the issues we had may not have been the fault of AMD since there are so many factors at play. As some of you may know, shortly after releasing our latest content update users with AMD 5000 GPUs immediately started reporting problems with the new lighting system, where all geometry was being rendered black. We had 2 AMD computers at the office during this time, which made this very confusing to us since we had thoroughly tested on both machines. Turns out none of those machines had 5000 series GPUs. So out of concern for this issue, we went out and bought an AMD 5500 XT.
As soon as we turned it on, to our relief the blackness bug finally showed its face. But it wasn't a simple fix. Unfortunately, the blackness bug was only present in a build EXE, and not in editor. This makes debugging far more difficult since all our debugging tools are in editor. After many hours of making tiny changes and creating builds only to see zero results, we finally made a discovery. We found out, when doing a post screen effect, that AMD cards can only write to one texture. This limiting was not written anywhere in Unity's documentation or AMD. So once we made this discovery, we got creative and made it work.
Conclusion:
So there you have it! A little insight into what it takes to solve a seemingly simple problem. Please let us know if there are any other graphics issues.
Regards,
Brilliant Game Studios.

Hello everyone, we have a quick hotfix for ya. We made a few changes to the lighting and we need people with the AMD 5700XT to test the latest patch. We really aren't sure if the issue has been resolved to be honest(Since we do not have any at the studio) but we made a few changes that MAY have fixed the black light issue.
Changes Made:
-Direct texture look up removed for shadow sampling and replaced with standard texture sampling.
-Screen resolution added to options menu.
-GPU vram usage reduced in attempt to optimize for lower end hardware.
Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween!
BLACK LIGHTING FIX: We have posted an update with a temporary fix for the black lighting bug some AMD users are experiencing. Please go into your options in the menu and enable "Use Vanilla lighting". Version 1.9 has arrived! Below we will list some of the changes! What's new? -L

Hello everyone! As some of you may know for the past 2 ½ years we have been working diligently on another one of our titles, The Black Masses. Our small team has accomplished a great deal in the open world genre, and we continue to plan for Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. A part of our plan for UEBS is to shift focus for half of our team to be dedicated to update and expand Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator, and beyond. The other half of our team will continue to run with the Black Masses title, providing supports and development.
We are very excited to show you what we have been working on! At Brilliant Game Studios we continue to be grateful for your ongoing support.
Thanks again, and stay in touch.
Regards, Robert.
