AI Director Faction Limits
Some players were taking advantage of 'averaging' down in certain sectors to make the AI director send lower tier ships to defend the region.
-8 faction sectors will now send a minimum class4 (frigate) ship to defend the sector
-10+ faction sectors will now send a minimum class5 (destroyer) ship to defend the sector
-Shipyard (spawn sectors) will now send a minimum class8 (heavy cruiser) ship to defend the sector

3-Race Victory Condition
The new Ma'Alaketh race, now playable, can win only by taking out both the Sol and Genari homeworlds. Same goes for Sol/Genari, they have to take two homeworlds to proceed to victory.

Ma'Alaketh:
AI ships now have 10% base evasion instead of 25%

A new class has been added to Dunderheads!

The Demoboy carries a remote detonating grenade launcher. Shoot up to 10 grenades, then detonate them all at once to inflict massive explosive damage. Leave grenades lying around capture points or doorways to create traps for unsuspecting enemies.



The Demoboy's grenade launcher must be charged up before each shot. The longer you hold down the shoot button, the further your grenade will be launched.

The Demoboy can jump above his own exploding grenades to launch himself up or across the map. The more grenades you detonate under your feet, the further you will fly!

Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
I've been working hard on the game, We are including some extremely detailed levels, and I gotta say, It is really coming along. I am extremely happy with what we have so far.

We are working on cutscenes, rather than the ( Quite frankly terrible ) radio messages that are included currently, We are upgrading all of the weapons to more enhanced weapons.

We are outsourcing our scripting which allows us to include a wider range of mechanics.

But I've got to say, As my hours developing Games goes up, I am getting better with every click, and this being my first large project, I think its going well. We have sold nearly 300 copies, which is to me, quite staggering. Just the thought that people actually sit at home playing something I made, and I don't want to be like those developers who just make something and abandon it.

Woody is going to help out with the creation of the Zombies minigames, which will be included in our new launcher, so thats coming along great!

I gotta say, I am mind-blown with how good this is coming along as we approach our first year.

Kind Regards,
Trollbae <3

Hey there! It’s Weekly News time!

We are currently working on the day and night cycle. The visuals are close to the final version as can be seen here:



The shops close at night and open in the morning as you would expect. Some missions are time dependant as well.

We still need to adjust the traffic and crowd density based on the time of day and optimize the whole system for performance - hopefully, we will be able to do that before the next week's update.

See you next week!
