Advanced Tactics public beta patch v1.16
posted 41 days and 13 hours ago
A few days ago a new public beta patch for AT has been posted in the Matrix member section. It solves a few bugs and issues, but also it adds an important functionality for high player games. You can change players passwords in v1.16 so its possible to replace players that dropped out. This should make it more safe and fun to start those huge 9 players scenarios.
Good start with new game development
posted 49 days and 9 hours ago
I just wanted to let everybody know that i am working on a new game and progress is good. It is a game that is being build upon the current engine, but it will not be AT2. That one might be the next in line. I want to complete a solid alpha version before giving a preview on the game in development. I am working hard as i can to get to that stage!

In the meantime AT is realy solid in my humble opinion. Only now and then some new issues come to light due to people creating new scenarios and doing things with the editor i did not think of.

I am planning a new beta patch in a few weeks. It will adress some minor issues.

Happy Gaming!
Kind regards,
Vic
Official Patch v1.15 is released
posted 82 days and 2 hours ago
After a lot of small beta patches there is now a new official gold patch. V1.15 is the newest gold patch for Advanced Tactics. (the latest official patch was v1.10) The patch can be downloaded from the members section at the Matrix website. Basicly it fixes some glitches and adds some extra options to the engine (to be used by scenario designers).

A development update
posted 145 days and 12 hours ago
After the big v1.10L release some small stuff has been taken care off in public beta v1.10M and in the soon to be relased public beta v1.11. But these are just some minor issues.

As it stands now Advanced Tactics is a pretty stable game. Even if i say so myself :)

For the future i will keep cranking out small version increases whenever something small has to be fixed. But i will try to free my hands to start on a more major undertaking.

The next goal on the horizon concerning AT is its next installment. I cant say much yet about what this new version will bring or when it will be finished.

But more news will follow the comming months. Just wanted to let you know development continues.

Kind regards,

Furthermore v1.10L includes the option to create random ladder games. We hope this will give players of the official ladder some new challenges. Here is a screenshot of a randomly created ladder game scenario:
