Combining the very best of sci-fi and aerial dogfighting gameplay, AX:EL delivers a totally new gaming experience. Create your very own shape-shifting vehicle and dominate both the sky and the ocean.
This is the first update, in preparation for a major one which will bring
brand new challenging and smart AIs, new places to explore and finally new game modes!
[b]Which game modes?[/b]
I'm planning to add a "Patrol" mode and a "Delivery" mode, I will better explain the details in a later moment.
Anyway, If you have ideas on game modes you'd like to see, I'm open to suggestions.
[b]How it will work?[/b]
Firstly I'll make some upgrades and adaptions to the game, such as this update.
Once everything will be ready, I'll push it in closed beta, if then it will work ok, I'll finally add the new modes in the default branch to be played by everyone.
[b]If any of you is interested in entering the closed beta, feel free to add me
to your friend list and to write me in chat.[/b]
