Survey Results & Preview of Next Patch

Intruder Alert: Ixian Operations · published 10 Oct 2016, 20:09 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Dear Community,

it's been about a month since I started the survey. I got 30 results at this point and would like to share the results with you (If you still want to fill out the survey, feel free to do so. I will continue to read the feedback I get.)

Survey Results:

1. Player Progress:
1.1 Player Levels:

1.2 Campaign Progress:


I'm happy that some players have finished the campaign already! :)

1.3 Game Time:
Your average game time is: 23.5 hours
Top 5 Players have:
1. 159 hours
2. 126 hours
3. 80 hours
4. 42 hours
5. 41 hours

2. Genre Distribution:


You are very versatile and enjoy every type of game. *thumps up*

3. Ratings:
3.1 Game Modes:

3.2 Factions:


Mercoss is your favorite faction? That probably has nothing to do with their big units... <(=_= )>

4. Various:
4.1 Yes and No questions

5. Upcoming Patches
5.1 Content


This was one of the most important questions for me. I see that you would like to see especcially more units per faction and I've already started making some new for the next patch. (Look at the bottom of the post for more information)
In "Other" was mentioned:
- Improved Pathfinding
- "Real" Multiplayer
- Random Spawn Numbers

5.2 Graphics


It is about 50:50 here. I can say at this point, that you shouldn't expect any magic happening here, I'm a good programmer (at least I think so) but only a decent artist.

Patch Information:


I'm currently working on the next patch, which will be a bit bigger (and therefore take also a bit longer) than the other patches.
As most of you wished for new units, there will be 6 new units (1 per faction) in the next patch and more map reworks, because half of you hope for better graphics.
Additionally I fixed, at least I hope so, the bug that caused these error messages pop up some times, where you could continue to play anyway.
As some of you wished for I'm also creating text/image based tutorials, but this is still work in progress and may not be ready for the next patch.

So that's it for now. I would like to thank you all for participating in the survey. At the end let me show you one of the new units on a reworked map as "reward" for your participation. (Guess the faction!)
