Adventure1As Fallen Enchantress rushes towards the 100,000 unit sold mark, we are hard at work on v1.1. We are hoping to have it ready before Christmas but I don’t want to make any promises.
The main changes in v1.1 will be memory and AI related. There are lots of bug fixes in the pipeline too such as ones that help with modding and just plain good old fashioned bugs that slipped by.
People have been asking whether Fallen Enchantress is “selling well”. It’s a hard question to answer since I don’t think it’ll ever be able to sell as well as Galactic Civilizations because we did, after all, give the people who bought War of Magic back in the day copies of Fallen Enchantress. I think if you combined War of Magic with Fallen Enchantress you’d have a much better story.
We are pretty happy with the reviews. We’re hoping to see a lot more as time goes on. I doubt we’ll release any more games in 4th quarter in the future. Very hard to get coverage with all the big console releases that come out for the Christmas season not to mention the Wii U. Winking smile
The Map pack is expected to be out in early December. They’re putting the final touches on it. I will confess I wasn’t terribly excited about it at first as I prefer the random maps. But having played Anthys (the new immense sized map) it really does become an amazing world. Anthys is also a great map for testing the AI on so if you don’t see me posting a lot over the next couple of weeks it’ll be because I’m coding on that.
And lastly, a random plug for those of you running Windows 8. You may already be familiar with Start8 which brings back the Start menu in Windows 8. We just released Decor8 today which allows you to change your backgrounds in the Start screen (yea, Microsoft doesn’t let you use your own backgrounds for this for some reason by default).
Anyway, lots of cool stuff coming up. Also, if you don’t already have Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, v1.1 just came out. The merged development teams (IronDock? StarIron?) have really made something special with Rebellion. It’s really terrific.
Stay tuned!
