Greetings!
So what's happening the world of Ashes of the Singularity this month? As some of you know, we have the Siege of Centauri beta going on (a tower defense game in the Ashes universe). You can go to its Steam page to see what is happening there. That game is the result of the underlying work we've been doing for Ashes.
So here is a preview of some of the things we're working on:
- v2.79 opt-in is currently available. It has some balance, bug fixes and cosmetic improvements. The main limiter is QA time on our end.
- We are working on a stand-alone map editor for Ashes. This will be a simplified version of the modding editor some modders have made. This one will be more bullet proof and allow people to share their maps via Steam Workshop.
- New DLC. We've been brainstorming with the community on what they want to see. We're working on some new units and structures.
- Balance. The Plasma storm feature is probably going to get changed so slow down units rather than kill them. It's a little frustrating to players and basically makes low level units worthless late game.
There's also been a lot of talk about a sequel. We are gung-ho on doing that but we have a lot of thoughts on what would be required for a full-on sequel and we feel that Ashes of the Singularity itself deserves more love. :)
