Surprise! Guess what? It's almost here! Apologies for the wait!

Posted by on

Hey all,

It has been a LONG TIME since we last released or updated and I am super sorry for that.

Right now where I am it's the afternoon of Christmas Eve. And in my family, it's a tradition that everyone gets to open one Christmas present at midnight on Christmas Eve, and then the rest get opened the next morning.

Well, it's not going to be exactly midnight... but in about an hour and a half of me writing this (so probably a lot sooner than that for you reading it) 0.5b3 will be releasing.

Let me repeat that:

0.5b3 releases today!

I am really sorry about everyone having to wait for years and years on this. I have been very sick for most of that time and trying to keep life rolling while needing regular medical care has been pretty difficult.

A major amount of thanks have to go to Miros, our coder extraordinaire, who kept the project rolling forward while I've been out of commission. He and Gambit and Thudmeizer have kept the testing and rebalancing and updating going.

For me, this is a really amazing end to a pretty terrible year, thanks guys.

Instructions will be included when the file is released - including stuff for anyone wanting to do collaborative mod work.

So to everyone who has worked with us, or has wanted to work with us, or has just been waiting on us releasing this... thank you for all your patience and understanding, I wish you a wonderful December festival season and a happy new year.

>>>Remember to expand the installer description for the instructions, they're important as we've done some things you may not expect. ;)


Language Update:

For all our Russian players, a fan of ours - Darkset-SPB - has kindly volunteered their time to create a translation for you!

Download the following link to your "Tyranids\Locale\Russian" folder, and it should update from English to Russian:

NB: If you previously downloaded the Google Drive copy, this version is more up to date.
