Our 5th update for Steam has shipped!

This update includes some really great improvements that will help speed up the pace of play and actions. We've found and squeezed out some delays in the game loop to reduce wait time between attacks and other Talent use.

We've continued the fight to improve the maps, and have now completed a sweet of every map in the game for spawn points to ensure they are marked. We've also marked all secondary objectives and interactive map elements (control panels, etc) with the blue highlight tile. If you see any that are missing, please don't hesitate to report them!

On top of that, we've fixed a pile of bugs and cleared the space for the next update to be a bigger and more exciting one!

Again, we want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who has been posting, sharing feedback, advice, bug reports, and thoughts on game balance.

Please leave a review to help support more updates and improvements!

Our fourth update is improving the game across the board.

Most notably, it includes "Weapon Pack Delta" which contains a nice set of improvements and fixes to the weapon list, RP costs, RQ tree, adding some missing weapons, and giving a pistoleer Captain some new options. This is part of an on-going program of expanding and improving the RQ tree - so look forward to more, and thanks for all the feedback.

We've also added a new an exciting rule to help melee Templars. Your Quickness stat is now added to your Counter-attack %. Especially for a pistoleer Captain, this will be of interest.

Across the game, we've put the screws to unmarked spawning points. We've marked over 70 of them, sweeping entire levels and fixing authoring bugs. I think you'll see the improvements! ... but watch out for those xeno!

We've improved some keyboard support on some platform and added a new hotkey function for the number keys 1-0.

We also fixed a couple of levels that were either annoying or broken.

Check the change log for all the details!

Our third update is another hefty one. We've had such a wonderful stream of feedback from the discussion boards and a solid pile of bug reports -- and Update #3 address those head on.

This update will help anyone who is stuck with crashes in later levels of the game, and fixed a few levels that had lingering issues with Swap.

From a balance stand-point, we've also ironed out a few things n the Requisition Tree. We've added a new starter Targeting System for Soldiers, and move some of the Hydra's Talents to an easier-to-reach location, closer to the top of their class tree. We've also made improvements to the bonuses of a number of Talents -- they are all minor, but they are all better for it.

Thanks to everyone for the amazing reviews, supporting us, and for so much discussion about the game. We're excited for the next steps, which will include adding some more branches and more optional levels for you to enjoy (but never chargeable DLCs).

Our second update is a big one. We're very excited to deliver a highly requested feature -- the ability to change the Templars you are deploying into a level.

To be specific, after a level starts and the introductory scene has complete you have the option to "swap a Templar". This allows you to see the layout of the level and the position of your Templars so you can make the perfect swaps. I've included the three screenshots showing the process below!

• You may swap the Templar on the map for any living veteran in your roster.
  
• To complete a swap, you must pay the difference in Supply Points (SP) between the two Templars. A starting Scout costs 350 SP, a starting Soldier costs 400, and a starting Neptune costs 500 SP. To swap a Soldier for a Neptune, you'll need 100 SP. If you swapped a Soldier for a Scout, you'd gain 50 SP. This swap rule means you won't be able to swap every Templar every time, but it established the balance of your core forces and your specialist additions.
  
• You cannot swap your Captain or an Engineer or any other specialist who
  is required by the level (at times, a Hyrda). However, all other Templar types may be swapped.
  
• You may only swap a Templar before the Templar moves or takes any action. For example, you can't cast a Soldier's buff and then swap them out.
  
• Swapping is not permitted in the first 3 levels of the game, and the feature is explained and enabled in the fourth level.
  
• Each level has a hard cap on how many Engineers you can swap in.
  
• Check the library page on Swapping a Templar.

There are also other balance improvements, story and library improvements, plus a pile of bug fixes for all.
