Let's play some LAN games!

Well, it required a bit more effort than we originally planned, but today we're very happy to release LAN support for 8-Bit Armies! It's beta, but our internal testing shows that it's stable and working with just a couple minor issues we didn't want you to wait on. Please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any errors.

We're also making a change to our Featured Community Maps. Some of you didn't want to auto-subscribe to 3 new maps each week - and we agreed. Therefore, we've modified our back-end so that auto-subscribing is no longer necessary. Again, let us know if you spot anything out of the ordinary.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy the new features!

Alles viel zu spät. Sie hatten ihre chance. Ich habe ihnen meiner Meinung soga sehr viel Zeit gegeben. Mich haben die als Spieler schon seit Wochen verloren.

 

[OliBeu]

Mein Freund :-)
Wenn man das so liest könnt man meinen die hätten dir weh getan ^^ Ich würds cool finden mit dir und Steffen paar runden zu spielen wenn Hordes den MP etwas belebt. Ihr beide werdet auch schon vermisst, wurde erst gerade gestern im Discord gefragt wo ihr zwei steckt.

 

[D.edoC]

Ehrlich gesagt hat man mir mit dem Spiel weh getan... Ich habe dem Spiel soo viele Chancen gegeben... Werde aber natürlich dennoch weiterhin das Spiel im Auge behalten. Sollte MP wirklich was gehen, werde ich wieder einsteigen. Bis dahin schau ich mir das alles aus der Ferne an.

 

[OliBeu]

hört sich schon besser an :-)

We are also happy to announce that the game now supports French, Russian,Brazilian-Portuguese and Simplified Chinese languages! Just like when we added German, if you see an issue with an incorrectly localized word or some UI that doesn't look right in a particular language then please let us know.

As always, we appreciate your feedback and support!

8-Bit Armies Game Update #24! 09/09/16 - 15:15 PST
Wow! Has a whole week passed since our last update? Time flies when you're having fun - and we have had a lot of fun getting this patch together for you.

With this update, we wanted to show some love for all our Russian, German, French, Portuguese and Chinese friends with a host of localization updates. Plus, we've just added support for Hungarian and Polish!

There are also a variety of other improvements and fixes we've made - check out the list below to learn more.

Have fun and as always, thank you! Your ongoing support helps us further improve the game and ready us for our next title.

-8Bit

8-Bit Armies & 8-Bit Hordes translated to Polish & Hungarian. This translation should be considered BETA for now. A final version will be posted next week after we receive feedback.
Subtitles have been created for Russian, German, French, Portuguese, and Chinese languages. (Hungarian & Polish will be completed next week). To turn on subtitles, visit the OPTIONS - TEXT menu.
New font-remapping functionality dropped in behind the scenes for extra lengthy foreign languages so they are less likely to extend beyond the available UI.
Miscellaneous UI changes have been made to support longer translated text by making various text boxes longer.
Steam Achievements for 8-Bit Armies now support Russian, Polish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), and Hungarian.
Earned stars in Co-Op mode were sometimes not displayed correctly and this should be fixed now.
All maps have been audited for pathfinding issues and fixed if and where necessary.
The Mod Text File (STUB_Master_Text_Mod_Unicode.csv) for editing the in-game text was updated to include the latest additions to the game. Subtitle support will be added next week.
Fixed an issue where hosting and then canceling a LAN match would prevent players from loading a campaign map afterward.
Expanded tooltips have been added to all game manual tech tree objects.

13.2.2017
Hi all!

Hope you're enjoying our new Observer and Replay modes! We are working on a few other improvements for later on this week based on feedback we've received here in the forums.

Our release of the free version of 8-Bit Arena has been hard to find for some of you, so we're planning to release it as a free, separate game (not listed as a demo) so everyone that wants it can do so. Free players will still be able to compete in the large, general pool of players - there will just be more of them once we get it into everyone's hands. If everything goes well, this will happen in just a few days, in time for this weekend.

Today's update is a small maintenance patch with a few balance tweaks.

We are always looking forward to all your good feedback. It is all read and your participation in growing our community is always appreciated.

zum schluss

[21:03] Torpid: When you all disagree equally, my job is done :-)

 

[Lunak]

Ob da die Kampagnen noch funktionieren?

 

[OliBeu]

Wir hatten gestern bestimmt zwei ein halb Stunden lang mit Petro ne Diskussion bezüglich der Balance von gewissen Maps im Quickmatch pool.
Da es für die Invaders Fraktionen zum teil recht schwer war schnell ne stabile Economy aufzubauen.
Momentan sieht es so aus das Shipyards etwas umgebaut wurde was Öl punkte angeht.
Und was mich persönlich freut, River Town bekommt voraussichtlich pro Seite 2 zusätzliche Resource nodes! was ne komplett neue dynamik in die Map bringt.

Mich beeindruckt dabei voll dass für ein scheinbar tot geglaubtes Spiel verhältnismäßig mega viel Support kommt. Es setzt klar das Statement dass 8-Bit wichtig für PG ist!

 

[Lunak]

Jo ich denke auch das es ein Motivationsprojekt für die Leute dort ist. Kann mir jetz nich vorstellen das die komplette Firma seit nem Jahr nur an 8 Bit schraubt ^^

 

[ZxGanon]

Ich hab mir gestern die freeversion von Arena gezogen. Das Spiel ist am Anfang eigentlich ganz witzig, man bekommt nur durch das schlecht gemacht Ground Terain relativ schnell Augenkrebs.
Schneemaps sind dafür relativ angenehm anzuschauen. Die Ground Units bei einigen Fraktionen sind auf den ersten Blick relativ schwer voneinander zu unterscheiden und das Damage/Armor Prinzip ist umständlicher gestaltet worden als es hätte sein müssen.

Ansonsten ist das Spiel ein netter Zeitvertreib für zwischendurch.

P.S.: Vergesst 8bit Armies das Spiel ist trash.
