Messages
Athena Crisis now has an elegant real-time messaging system built from templates, tags, and conjunctions. Players can communicate during a game, and help others with hints even across maps and campaigns. Popular messages will show up across the multiverse to guide (or hinder) players. Messages that are liked often glow in gold, and the author receives a Chaos Star which they can use in the shop to buy unlocks.
Experimental Replays & Time Bank Timer
In order to support the still young and evolving competitive scene, we built a Replay feature. After a game concludes, you can instantly step through every action in a game, or sit back and watch the full replay.
The existing real-time timer for live games gives each player a specific amount of time per turn depending on how many units they are controlling. This system often gives players too much time, and can lead to stalling.
We launched a new timer system for invasions and PvP games that carries over across turns and counts down, with an increment added each turn. The new system makes real-time games go much faster!
Teleport Fields
The Spaceship biome now features 6 individual Teleport fields that can be used to teleport your units across a map quickly. Each of the colors is only linked to Teleporters of matching color. Teleporters enable a few fun interactions, like dropping a unit from a transporter or spawning a new unit on a Teleporter to instantly transport them elsewhere!
What else?
We fixed more than 50 bugs and shipped over 10 QoL improvements, new settings, and fun features like character silhouettes:
This is a cute feature for storytelling in community campaigns! Speaking of campaigns ā we are soon launching a new Curated Campaign and multiple new units. Watch out for more updates!
