Kickstarter updates
« on: December 03, 2016, 03:35:34 pm »
It hadn't occurred to me that folks here wouldn't necessarily know about new updates to the AIW 2 kickstarter; an oversight on my part. I don't want to have a new thread for every "rallying the troops" message we put up over there, but some of the posts contain a lot of info relevant to the game's design, so I'll endeavor to keep this thread up to date with those.

Huh I thought backers (I assume most people here backed it at this point) got emails every time there was an update. They're still interesting, keep em up.

Yea, I thought so too, but then I started hearing from people who were interested in stuff we were saying but not being notified about it. Oh well :)

You can turn email updates off, both globally and per-project.

True story, I'm one of those people.

Great video, but you may want to consider showing colors for teams without contrails turned on.

I still want black as my team color. It's optical camouflage D:<

Nothing can go wrong if I mod two different nemesis to kill each other right right?!  :P

When I first saw nemesis, I was not sure what it was. Now I might splurge a bit.

I would pay a tidy sum if this was possible

There's no particular reason the custom logic can't be used to target whatever, even if it's not human controlled.

Having a nemesis-hunting nemesis would be a lot of fun.
