8-Bit Armies Update #16 - 07/1 @ 16:00 (PST)

We have been really looking forward to releasing today's update! For a while now, we have been wanting to call out the best maps and make them easier to get to. Our latest new feature places these maps that have been hand-selected by the design team into the multiplayer map listing so everyone can see the great work that has been done by the players.

We are also happy to announce that the game now supports all our German friends in their native language! We have done a lot of testing on our side, so we're hopeful that it's fantastic right out of the box. If you do spot an issue with a mis-localized word or maybe some UI that looks out of whack - please let us know!

As always, thanks for all the great support! We hope you have fun on the latest build! ːsteamhappyː

NEW FEATURES:

  • German Localization: This should be considered "BETA" and we are looking forward to getting any bug reports or UI alignment issues reported to us so we can get them fixed and dropped into our next patch.
  • Featured Player Map Integration: We will be frequently adding the best player maps into a special section of the multiplayer setup screen. When choosing which map to play on, please give these a try!
  • Random Team Generation: Players can now choose to have our servers drop them into teams randomly.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Aircraft should now fly at least 200 units above the ground. This fixes issues on some of the custom maps that were being created.
  • Units in production cannot reveal stealthed units
  • Fixed an issue related to units that pop out of random crates
