Hello! A new demo patch is out. ːsteamhappyː Alongside a ton of bug fixes, I've started adding some flavor to Incursion battles. They're still a work in progress and mostly a proof of concept for now, but they're already fully interactive. One of the changes to Incursion Missions is that deployment locations are now fixed. You'll begin each battle at a predetermined insertion point rather than…

PhaigeX: Confiners (Signs of Life update) Hey, it's been a while! Long story short the game took a detour through development hell. 😂 After months of all-nighters, way too much coffee, and a game identity crisis or two, the next demo update is finally here.

PhaigeX: Confiners (Fleet Assault update) Happy holidays everyone! We got another juicy update wrapping up the Fleet Assault type mission. Its still a bit wonky but it can be completed now.
