Ship Balances, AI + Ship Editor, and a Guide to Making Fleets
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer (or winter for those of you down south)! We are hard at work in bringing a whole new progression system and UI upgrade to the game. Nothing to show just yet, but here are some fantastic BattleTabs content for you to enjoy. 😃
Design — BattleTabs Ship Balances
In this blog post, game designer Tom walks us through the process and thinking behind the ships, particularly when it comes to balancing ships. There is a lot to consider! 🤔
AI and a Ship Editor (fan project)
We are constantly asked to make an AI opponent, or a way for people to create their own ships. Awesome suggestions that we haven’t been able to tackle with our tiny team. Fortunately, Moenen from our awesome community had taken it upon themselves to make a bot (and eventually a ship editor) for the game! It has just been released last Friday. You can download it here (PC/Mac), and follow the project along on GitHub (Unity). Fantastic stuff! 🙌
