It's been a while since I shared more detailed dev notes, so I wanted to include those below. This is likely to be the second-to-last dev update ahead of launch on October 15. Before we get to the full notes, a few highlights are: · A new "battle tally" screen that better explains combat results · Added 7 new vehicles · Made it more costly to fully lose a sector All expected features are in for…
Development updates are slowing down as I turn my attention to the less-glamourous things - bug-fixing and balancing. No features have been added since the last update, but I've made several balance changes and the "Force Modernization" scenario is now balanced for use. This is live on the current default branch for testers. Next up is the "Industrial Giant" scenario. In this scenario, the play…

Hi Everyone, We've been hard at work building & testing the new economy system, and we're ready to show it off in the demo. The update should be live now.

I've updated the game with a few new items, and the full change log is below for review. The main change is an air rework: rather than assigning all air units before the end of a turn, air units can now be scrambled in response to a battle. Ground attack aircraft can now attack enemy units where there isn't a battle taking place (reducing wasted turns) or respond to battle in multiple sectors.…
First, I've submitted the first build of the demo for review, keeping us on track for a mid-July demo release. I'm excited to get this in the hands of players - make sure you wishlist War Footing so you don't miss it! The demo is going to feature one scenario specifically designed to showcase features the game has to offer. Before release, I plan to spend more time balancing to make sure it's j…
I'm excited to share the first dev update on War Footing! While it's just come to Steam now, it has been in development as a digital game for about 7 months, and existed as a board game concept for a long time prior to that. The first major milestone I'm looking at is releasing the demo, which is tentatively planned for mid-July. All of the content is in place for the demo, but it just needs ad…
