• Dev Blog #11 – Porting the game to phones - 21 September 2026

  Hello everyone!Last week, I decided to finally test how realistic it is to port the game to mobile devices. I set up the project and implemented basic touchscreen controls.The game will eventually be released on phones. The release is expected around late winter or autumn. By that time, I should complete the main planned mechanics and, most importantly, add modding support.The mobile version is about 60% complete. There are still a few key tasks left to finish:Further optimize the game itself, as it is currently CPU-bound. Older phones might experience poor performance;The controls still do not cover all primary game mechanics.Overall, there is still plenty of work to do.Thank you all for your support.

• Dev Blog #10 – We're preparing something interesting. - 12 September 2026

  Hello everyone!Looking at the title of this post, I think many of you have questions about what exactly we are cooking up. I think it's worth sharing a bit of what we're currently working on.I've already mentioned that we are working on a new faction — Germany, as well as the mechanics for infantry entering buildings. But that is far from everything planned for the near future.We are preparing the next major update. It is meant to bring significantly more variety to the game, and we are not talking about a new faction here. That is all I can say for now so as not to spoil the surprise. There is still a lot of work to be done before the major update, of course, but we are moving at a good pace and doing everything to make sure you'll love the result.That's all for now!

The next faction will be Germany. A list of units for the faction is already being prepared. Overall, the units will feature powerful and high-tech equipment. We plan to design a unit set suited for positional warfare and strong defense to hold key positions. another essential mechanic designed to strengthen infantry as an independent unit is the ability for infantry to enter buildings.

  Hello everyone!It’s been two weeks since our last post, and we’re continuing to actively work on bug fixes and overall game improvements.One of the main barriers for newcomers was the lack of a demo build due to missing offline mode support.

• Dev Blog #5 – Mobile port and an update with game optimization - 1 August 2026

  Hi everyone!This week I tested the build on a mobile device. I set up mobile controls so the camera can be moved.As for performance, I created the build to see how it looks and to estimate the workload.The phone maintained around 60 FPS. The main load was on the GPU. I haven't tweaked graphics settings yet. All visuals were set to high quality. Because of this, I wouldn't rely too heavily on these performance results just yet.I think after adding mod support, we can immediately start working on porting the game to mobile devices.Also this week, I worked on game performance optimization. In addition to fixing FPS drops during unit spawning, I optimized the overall build and certain game mechanics that could heavy-load weaker CPUs.That’s all for now.
