- We Have Been Working Hard On Something.. - 16 September 2026
Hello everyone!It’s been a while since our last update, and we wanted to give you a small glimpse of what we’ve been working on for the past year and a half.First, thank you for your incredible support and patience. Seeing what the modding community has created, and your continued passion for UEBS, has blown us away. We’re forever grateful.So, what have we been working on?We’ve taken on our most ambitious technical project yet: a fully software-rendered GPU game engine for our next title.In our last update, we showed our CPU software renderer. That was a research project that laid the groundwork for what we’re building now. Our new engine can handle billions of polygons in real time, making it an ideal foundation for our next title.What does “software-rendered” mean? We’ve written our own algorithms for drawing triangles from the ground up. These run on the GPU, replacing the dedicated…

- Critical Bug Fixes And Code Changes - V 1.3.5 - 13 December 2024
Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! We have a patch here for the holidays. Note that post new year will be a large content update. We wanted to get this patch out for the holidays since some pretty critical bugs have been fixed. -Critical bug fixed which caused units to disappear when using multiple armies of the same mod unit in one battle. -Another critical bug fixed which caused GPU memory leaks when exiting back to main menu after battle. Often GPU memory remained after battle, this was a combination of chain reaction errors and a Unity engine bug. -Big improvements to hit boxes when fighting as a possessed unit. -Added inverse kinematics to more units for first person. Merry Christmas everyone! We will see you all in the new year for a large content update! Regards, Brilliant Game Studios.

We value transparency, so here’s what's been going on: while some of the team continued to work on UEBS2, most of us were busy completing our previous title, The Black Masses. For those unfamiliar, we promised our community that after running out of funding, we would return to finish The Black Masses once UEBS2 was complete. Today, we’re happy to announce that version 1.0 of The Black Masses is officially released! With that done, our full team is now back on UEBS2 development, and we’re eager to move forward. We truly appreciate your patience and ongoing support. If you're interested in…

Animations include, "Zombie" and "One hand pistol" -Accuracy added to ranged settings in mod setup for developers. -Another issue fixed which caused mods to not import.

Here is the new download link for the updated mod tools for developers. The link on the tutorial thread was also update: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-rWDxAvv_IE59LBY2UDHPdNAOe…
- Patch v0.9.1 Fixes For Mods - 12 June 2023
Edit: Some are still reporting mods not showing up. Since we are unable to reproduce this bug, we kindly ask that you send us the output log. Steps: -Make sure you have subscribed to mods. Run the game and confirm that none are active(Bottom right corner text says how many mods are active) -Once you have confirmed this, navigate to the output log. It's usually located as a text file 'output_log' in C:\Users\YourWindowsUsername\AppData\LocalLow\Brilliant Game Studios\UEBS2. -Email the text file to [email protected] Our bug squashing continues with this latest patch which attempts to fix both mods not showing up, and unit scaling/stats issues. Both issues are determined to be regional based issues. -Fixed(hopefully) mods not showing up in game. Issue was due to folder extensions in code not work in languages other than English. We fixed this issue by fetching the folder loc…
- Hotfix For Workshop Mods - 7 June 2023
We created a hotfix in attempt to solve some of the issues users are having. UPDATE: Since this hotfix we have been working on a new fix Incoming tonight or early tomorrow. We have discovered the cause for strange scaling of mod units as well as other related issues. It appears it is caused by how decimal numbers are handled in different regions. We are also working hard to solve the issue of mods not showing up. -Some efforts were made to attempt fix the issue where no mods show up. (We were unable to replicate the issues here, so it's all guess work on our end) -Error messages added to game initialization to help catch issues with mods, or other import issues that may help us debug more potential problems. -New 'mods active' text added to bottom right of menu, to tell users how many mods were successfully imported. -Bugs fixed with 'custom unit' mods, where they would not correctly lo…

- Mod Support Drops Late Next Week! (Postponed!) - 19 May 2023
Update: Postponed To Next Week! We apologize for the inconvenience, but a horrible illusive bug appeared last minute which is causing crashes on most maps. The update unfortunately will be postponed to sometime early next week, we will be working hard to identify the bug. It's very difficult since it only happens in finalized builds of the game. Sorry everyone! Happy weekend everyone! We apologize for our silence, but development of mod support got a little complicated, so we were unable to estimate accurate release dates. Well it's finally in the testing stages and we can confirm that the first mod support update will arrive next week! This update will include full support for character modding, which has been designed to be the most user friendly and automated system we have made yet! Creating a new character mod can take as little as 5 minutes, so be prepared for loads of user conten…
- Auto LOD Generation In Character Mods! - Mod News - 14 February 2023
Hello everyone. We wanted to give modders a sneak peak into progress of mod support for characters. In UEBS1 LODs(Level of detail) and polygon optimization was completely up to the modder making the character. This was problematic for many users since many people do not have access to the tools required, or the experience required. Great news! Modded characters are now completely automatically optimized procedurally in game. not only does the system automatically crunch and remove polygons for distant characters, but it's even smart enough to identify objects (such as weapons and shields) that can be easily turned into sprites to ensure those small details are preserved at long render distances, all while keeping frame counts up. We look forward to the first update for mod support and we cannot wait to see your work! Screen shot shows the results of completely automatic LOD generation.…
