Hello All,

After working very hard for the last month, we have finally added bots to Initia. This has not been an easy task due to the nature of objectives in Initia and the different ways the bots are supposed to handle the elements. However this has been the most requested feature by far from the community and we had it as a priority since launch.

The bots are still a work in progress. AI bots can be tricky to debug and test. Sometimes they may seem to function exactly how we need them to, then suddenly they may show a bugged behavior. Initia is still in Early Access and the whole point of EA is to have the community help our small team make the game you want to play. So if you encounter pathing issues or the Bots behaved in an unexpected way, please try to explain the behavior as detailed as you can.

Currently the bots are on by default and they don't have difficulty settings. However that will change in the next few patches as we gather more information about how we want them to behave.

We have also made changes to the Match Making server. It now does not require 8 players to start a match. It will just start a match with bots and allow other players to join in the in-progress game. This is a crucial change that we believe will increase the chances of meeting players and having a proper match. We will continue enhancing the MM server in the next few patches as well.

We are also working on two new elements, Magma and Nature. They will expand the range of the higher elements you can buy from the shop an add different new roles. We are looking forward to have you play with them.

Stay Awesome!
