In the news last week we announced the Legion faction is almost finished. There, you might've learned that the Nether started to consume the fabrics of reality, and now it's reflected in the corrupted Nether environment.

This change should allow the world to be much more filled, which is one of the most important things to address before Liquidation is ready for Early Access.

Which part of this environment do you like the most? What's the thing you'd like to see next?

We've also improved the idle avoidance response, but what does that mean?
While playing RTS games, you might've noticed that units need to interact with each other when not directly controlled - for example - when a group of your units is passing through your idle army.
After introducing unit collision a while back, we faced a problem - idle units often blocked moving ones... So here's a demo of how it works now, where Husks - Legion faction workers - are running around other Husks.

The New Liquidation faction - Legion - is almost finished. I have been working tirelessly (as always ;)) and we are nearing completion of this faction. Our testers have been busy playing - and they are having great fine playing Legion with its unique dynamics.

Gameplay videos will be available in just a couple of weeks, but to quench your thirst for some Liquidation content - surely - I can offer you this screenshot and excerpt from Legion lore!

Excerpt from lore:
In a plane beyond comprehension lies the crystalline dimension of Zyndik, a world unlike any other and home to the endless legions of the Nether.
As the bloodcurdling calls of the Weaver echo throughout all of creation, rifts open in other planes to create connections for the Nether to flood the worlds and spread their influence.
They seek to consume and convert all to the Nether and the rifts bring forth the ceaseless legions into the foreign words, all serving directly under the entity they call the Weaver, the one who shapes their forms.
With the Nether beginning to consume the fabrics of reality in Veá, their legions search every crack and fissure for something or someone.

Another weekly update is here! Granted, I might have missed the last 30 or 40 weekly updates. But this one is worth the silence! At least, I hope.

The big (semi-big?) news is that we now have working replay functionality! Not only that, but our replays are very small and thus easy to share! This way, I am hoping to boost community sharing of replays and reviewing various matches to improve yourself or to see if the other guy cheated or not. (So far 0 cheaters have been detected though)

Enjoy this little mundane game - that might not been exciting to watch - but proves the replay functionality!

Hello fellow Liquidators!

Another milestone reached - cool skirmish AI!
Over last couple of months I have been slowly working on organic feeling skirmish AI. And now i can finally say mission accomplished. AI does work, is cool, and feels at least 75% organic!

On top of that, testing with multiple AI opponents ( up to 6 players ) created perfect opportunity to optimize the game. And now I can say Liquidation runs smoothly even with hundreds of active units!

Check it out for yourself, recorded few videos as the development progressed:

PS.: Don't forget to tell your family and friends about Liquidation!
PS.: If you missed it, we are currently funding on Kickstarter

We are amazed by how generous the RTS community is. Although our backer numbers are not that high, the average donation certainly is!

I think that we, as an RTS community, might not be strong in numbers, but we make up for it with our dedication to the genre. This is what our great start means to me. And that is genuinely great motivation for us to deliver Liquidation to this community.

Demo
Quite a few streamers played our demo, and you can find a playlist of such videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOF0G9xABg6cwItAfcAJSY-RGKmKNMr6W

Some did great, and some didn't manage to finish up the mission. Perhaps they were expecting less of a challenge ;). But here at the studio, we love the challenge, both in our level design and in our work lives.

In the end, all that matters is that people had fun with it!

More than 1000 players also downloaded the demo! And you had a lot of comments and suggestions. That shows a real passion for Liquidation and RTS genre. Just please don't try to contact me directly :( You had... a lot... a lot of suggestions.

This event brought us to an idea! You can expect a Poll about the demo, your likes, and dislikes of what you have experienced in a few upcoming days. It became apparent from your involvement that this is an excellent opportunity to analyze our strengths and patch up our weaknesses!

PS.:
