When everything goes wrong …

… you better hope you saved your game.

In other words: panicking and berserking soldiers are implemented, but to compensate for that battlescape savegames -finally- have been implemented too.

Since our savegames are not just binary memory dumps like in the old times, they are readable yaml text files, you’ll have the whole battlescape terrain – tile by tile – nicely described for you to edit and play with.
So you can also clone your own aliens, using copy-paste 😉

While it may have been quiet here on the website this summer, in the background I have been coding on an interesting battlescape feature.

Although not planned at first, so it may come a bit as a surprise, but we’ve put guns in the alien’s hands and gave them brains. In other words : the basic AI is implemented. The times where we lived peacefully together with sectoids are now definitely over. The war has begun.

Have fun with the latest build (download it from here) or watch the gameplay movie:
