Evolution RTS Get-Together #27!
Hey everybody! It’s that time again!
I haven’t actually been able to play since all of the new stuff I have recently added. Moments ago I added a new all terrain factory model. Earlier in the week I added all new unit death particle effects… Time to see them in action!

EvoRTS: New All Terrain Factory model!
New All Terrain Factory model!
As many of you know, I hate doing factories above all other units. Mainly because they are so difficult to deal with on the scripting side of things and whatnot.
Well, the final factory (from the existing unitset… yes there will be more techs… submarines come next) has been modeled! It’s all downhill from here!

Zero-K: ZK has been Greenlit!
Zero-K has now finally been Greenlit!
Thanks everyone for your ardent support of our glorious campaign.
A lot of things still have to be integrated, fixed, improved, and hardened to prepare for the actual Steam release though – so it will probably happen at least a few weeks later, and not immediately.
But be sure, that hour grows inevitably closer with each passing minute.
EvoRTS: New AirPlant model!
New AirPlant model!
I was never particularly happy with the new airplant model that i made a few months ago, so today I have replaced it with a “Flying” airplant. It can be built anywhere and will help me out when I start adding the Submarine tech.
Additionally new firemode abilities have been added to some units (riot tanks, gunship, and spitter for now… more later). Get-Together should be on, but it depends upon whether I’m conscious 5 hours form now. I will try my best and struggle through with copious amounts of coffee and bagels. 🙂
See you there!

EvoRTS: Linux builds are released on steam! Bigger map pool? Unit weapon switching? Oh LAWD!
Linux builds are released on steam! Bigger map pool? Unit weapon switching? Oh LAWD!
Yo dawg! I herd u liek maps!
So as many of you might have noticed, steam would have made your copy of evolution rts a little bit larger (about 600 mb larger). This is because the map pool that is included with the game was increased from 10 high quality maps to 30. Bit of a large jump, but these newly added maps are great!
New Linux Builds!
Last night we pushed the first linux builds out the door. They should work flawlessly (you can thank windows users for finding all the bugs and dealing with them :-)), but if you have any trouble, make sure to post on the forums and we’ll get you sorted.
Evolution RTS Get-Together #26
Evolution RTS Get-Together #26 happened earlier this morning. We had a bunch of great games and as usual, streamed the entire thing. Due to some difficulties parts of the stream won’t make it to youtube, but I will push over as many of the games as I can. Sorry for not making the announcement on G+ and here. I completely forgot. Sorry about that!
Unit weapon switching!
Coming soon to an Evo near you… Units with switchable weapons!
Lolwut? Yep, exactly what! Various units will be gaining the ability to switch to other weapon types via a button on the order menu (when you have the selected). For example, the Wildcat gunship will be gaining the ability to switch from air-to-surface missiles, to torpedos. This will allow you to kill those pesky amphibs that keep coming from underwater!
Obviously this change is directly linked with the fact that in the future, submarines will have been added.
Along these lines, in the latest update, you might have noticed that many buildings like factories/turrets/radar/etc gained the ability to float. This is also in anticipation of the new tech.
It’s coming! No doubt about that. As a bit of control… Keep in mind, yes I am hyping this new tech a bit (Because it will be fun! True water warfare?? Yes please!), and yes I do have it mostly mapped out in my head, but making models and getting those models ingame does take time, so be patient and know that I spend a large portion of my free time working on things like this 🙂
I suppose you can feel free to monitor the svn changelog on the main site if you like, but that’s probably taking it a bit far lol!

Took a while, but I got it done! Have a look!
Now it floats on top of and can be built upon water.
