Version 1.4.0

Hey there,

I am done with 1.4.0 woohoo!

First of all, I am sorry that probably your savegame broke, since I changed a bunch of backend variables for optimization.

I try to keep those changes to a minimum and if the game ever goes further than itch.io, I will probably add a savegame converter if this happens again.

Those need a lot of work sadly, so there could be some more breaking updates later :P

I'll try my best!

The AI Manager and the corresponding team AI behavior were a pain in the *** but I think they work great so far and are a good starting point.

I might need to check the performance with the profiler for the next update but I think the wait was long enough for this version already :)

Per default the AI will always be on but can be toggled off per individual team during the mission.

Since having multiple teams makes the game a bit harder to manage, I think this AI addition helps especially in the later stages of the game.

It at least changes the gameplay drastically which I enjoyed a lot more than with having to manage multiple teams manually.

As for what I did, here is my completed checklist as usual:

Now the next version, I will focus on prettification again and maybe some balance tweaks.

For now I am very happy that this update is now finished since I had some motivational issues since the last update.

The game is still not played a lot and the web version is the most used, although I still highly recommend the standalone versions.

I had to drop the prettifying of the selected team info because I was running late and this would have taken a lot more time.

The UI is still a thorn in my eye.

I want it to look pretty, but I will need to stick to a theme and add some graphics soon, which is something I put off for a long time due to my undecisiveness XD

If you like the game, drop a comment or two and let me know what felt good and what not.

I am still updating the game and will constantly improve it according to my own ideas or feelings.

If anyone has some input, drop me an info in the comments or try to get hold of me somehow else (my username is quite unique XD).

Until then, enjoy the new version

Cheers
