New build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:Finalizing_Multiplayer#2.850_Icons.2C_Targeting.2C_And_ODSS
Wow, I feel like I've been down a really deep hole for a few days. I've been deliberately ignoring almost all emails, though you could catch me on the watch_chris_art discord section all through this time.
It's been icon-finalization time for the new DLC that's coming up, and that was a hefty bit of work. It surprises me just how many icons there are for the new DLC -- way more than for the first game, and in general increasing the total count for the game by 50%. That includes the first DLC, the base game, and a variety of icons that I put in there that are unused but are present for mods to make use of.
Anyhow, now that that insanely tedious but important task is done, I can come up for air, fix the handful of MP errors that I'm aware of, and then mostly get back to working on art (but it's the more satisfying type of art, at least to me). I won't have a need to lock myself in isolation for two days to do the other art, which is nice. And these were long freaking days, 12 and 14 hours or so, I think it was. All told it was vaguely around 170 icons, depending on how you count them. I also updated some icons in the base game that you'll probably appreciate having an improved look. Oh, and some Scourge stuff for DLC1 got major facelifts.
Other stuff also happened! Lots of DLC2 stuff, but that doesn't go in these release notes. SirLimbo made some fixes and improvements to various shot-hitting logic to make the math more accurate in all cases. Badger added a new tip of the day. ArnaudB extended the ODSS to three hacks instead of two. Waves against marauders won't be so high anymore. AI attacks against Civvies will be lower. AMU got some notable updates.
More soon. Enjoy!
