We hope eveyone has had a great start on the new year! To start the year off, I would like to announce that Skirmish Line will be leaving Early Access some time during the Spring. After spending 2018 in Early Access, we have been consistently patching and refining the gameplay and believe the game is coming together nicely.
2018 saw major changes to Steam's visibility algorithm. This has unfortunately dampened the revenue flow for Skirmish Line, and we will be forced to slow down development. Rather than keeping the game in Early Access without regular updates, we will be finalizing the last batch of content. To this end, we will be preparing one last major patch for 2019 followed by an update on the Unity engine, which will hopefully fix some of the issues a few users have reported. We will be emphasizing bug fixes and stability issues prior to its full release.
This does not mean support for Skirmish Line is over! By switching over to a slower development cycle, we are hoping to introduce new content that we cannot normally produce under the faster development cycle of Early Access. We have two DLCs planned for 2019, a new "hero" unit with full voice acting and a larger DLC featuring a new game mode with a new mechanic, along with a variety of new units, upgrades, and support options.

Build 0.93 Okinawa features a new difficulty setting, currently consisting of Normal and Easy difficulty. Normal difficulty will maintain roughly the same difficulty as from Build 0.92 Singapore while Easy difficulty features fewer special wave spawns, slower progression of enemy units, and reduced penalties for having larger squads. Furthermore, all medals and achievements will still be obtainable on Easy difficulty.
While the game has been primarily balanced around reaching wave 100 with a fresh profile, we realize that many of our players desire a more casual experience. We hope the addition of the difficulty modes will make the game both accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
We'd also like to remind everyone that the Christmas event will be live from December 15th to January 7th!
We will be taking a break for the holidays. See you folks next year!

Reminder: Thanksgiving event ongoing right now!
For those of us who have played Mud and Blood 2, the "bunker strat" was the dominant setup present in virtually every high wave count setups. When we designed Skirmish Line, we wanted to make the game distinct from Mud and Blood 2, which included moving away from the idea of machine gunners in bunkers. This meant we built the game and balanced it without bunkers and without high killing power machine gunner units. We wanted every unit and every option to be useful. We wanted players to have a huge range of options and competitive strategies without relying on specific builds.
Thanks to the feedback from our players, we have seen many different strategies with high wave counts. We believe now that the game has achieved those goals. Build 0.92 Singapore will now make the previously locked behind defense prep structure, the pillbox, now available for construction. The pillbox is a "bunker" like building that offers the best protection in the game at the cost of slower reaction time. As in Mud and Blood 2, machine gunner units will be able to operate inside of pillboxes without penalty. We hope to see some new "bunker strat" setups to join the existing strategies already in play!
