27 April, 2015 - Alex@tinybuild


Hi everyone! BOID Update 4 (r4 for short) is now live. It adds significant improvements to the AI and now you can play against bots on any map - even a user map. There is a complex algorithm behind the AI, and we'd love to get some feedback on it.

Building upon the workshop integration, Mokus also added a thumbs up/down button after user-made map matches.

The problem with the Undo crash in the editor is still not fixed. If you press undo when there is nothing to UNDO the game crashes ....

Great to see the bot improvements and error fixes! The changes to Venom Valley were also a big improvement.
