- No more updates for now, game will be free to play - 9 December 2020
Hello everyone, you have probably noticed that I haven't updated the game in a while now. Thats because I don't have any more time (full time job and RL) and motivation to further work on the game. I know that there are some bugs for people that can't play the game but it would be an enormous task to fix those and like I don't see me doing it at the moment. I kind of know what the problem ist but it is just too much to fix in a few hours. I'm sorry for those who really like it but I have to cancel my buisness at the 31.12.2020 because it is just too expensive to further keep going. Maybe some day I will be back to further develop the game but for now it will stay where it currently is. If you really want to support me you can buy the game until 31.12.2020, from there on it will be free to play! I know it is annoying for people who recently bought the game but it is either that or comple…

Hey guys, sorry that it took so long for this update, I was busy in real life! Mechanics: -New AI: Ice Queen -New AI: Wyvern Slayer -If an AI does not have enough villagers to recruit new attack units, he will use the one he has to attack, this makes the AI a lot more aggressive in the mid game Balancing: -Hops grow a little bit slower now -Buildings do now stop trying to spawn units after two minutes (if you don't have enough villagers for example) Bugfixes: -When having a lot of buildings on the map the game could crash -When having max amount of units the AI was unable to attack -When having the skill to increase your units stats, the stats where increased every time you recruited a new unit, this lead to the AI being insanely strong on nightmare difficulty -The player and well worker were stuck in an animation for a few seconds when using the well

- Changelog Version 1.0.3.2 - 18 June 2020
Hey guys, I finally managed to get a new update going. The rotating of the AI took me forever, I was just not able to do it correctly and it took two weeks to get it to work. I also have very little time at the moment, in my job we have a of work at the moment and I have to work a lot of overtime. After work I just don't have the concentration to work on the game at the moment so updates will come slow for now, sorry. There was an "big" update a few weeks ago where I didn't write a changelog just because I did not really change too much. It was mostly a performance improvement update. Just a question: Should the AI rebuild it's castle while being attacked? Mechanics: -The AI does now rotate it's city towards the players or spawners -There isa a new castle layout -> This will most likely not stay as the Ogre Slayers layout! The AI will now attack units if they are inside of their castle…

- Changelog Version 1.0.1.1 - 7 May 2020
I already spend a lot of time with the new base building AI and I even added a little demo to the game. You can add an AI character in a custom game. The AI will build a castle from a layout. If you have some cool ideas for castle layouts, please let me know! I want at least three layouts per AI. (15 total) Every AI schould have different strengths and weeknesses. The strength of the AIs should be sorted like in the campaign. The AI will for now just build it's castle and recruit builders. The amount of builders an AI has will depend on the diffuclty later. (easy = 1 builder, medium = 2 builders, ...) I had to rewrite a ton of code to get this working, I tested a lot but there might be some new bugs. This was only the easy part, the AI has to manage a lot more. I habe a few questions how the AI should do stuff: -Should the main character get revived at the graveyard like the player? Exc…
- Changelog Version 1.0.1 - 3 May 2020
A new day a new update :-) I changed the name of the game because I don't like it, it is a bit confusing and I think it does not sound very well. The game will be called "Voxel Crusade" for the future. It might take a few days before Steam changes this. I will leave the folder structure the old as well because I don't want you to lose any data. I will work on integrating the castle building AI from now on, there wont be big updates for a while. I will still fix bugs and add small requests if you have some. I will try to upload some update videos on YouTube and post questions here if I want your oppinion on something. Other changes: Mechanics: -New character class Tank: This class is ment to be a supporter for your units! He does very little damage but is super tanky. He can not role but can block instead, blocking doubles your defense but slows you down a lot. First skill stuns all enem…
