Hey Everyone, We have been busy at work trying to make some big improvements to how KW2DE plays; going beyond just fixing the remaining bugs - but also reworking the feel and look of the game from the main menu to AI and battles. Today`s lucky update is the major step forward in several directions - especially with regards to performance, AI, main menu approach and game flow. We have also worked on fixing various leftover bugs, and whatever player suggestions and reports we found. We are glad to see the player population is steadily increasing, and with the sale event starting in the second half of this month, we hope to finally see some multiplayer battles. Thanks for the continuing support - and we are expecting 14th update later this month.
