  Steamworks has been updated, and that means Airship Dragoon has been updated to match it!Happy Dragoonening! ːcorblimeyguvnorː

• Steamworks SDK Update 1.64 - 22 March 2026

  Valve have updated the Steamworks SDK to v.1.64, and so Airship Dragoon has been updated to work with it! Happy Dragoonening! ːcorblimeyguvnorː

• Steamworks SDK 1.63 Update - 20 November 2025

  Valve have updated the Steamworks SDK to version 1.63, so AIRSHIP DRAGOON has been updated to support it! Happy Dragoonening!

• Steamworks SDK Updated to Version 1.62 - 1 April 2025

  Valve has released an updated version of the Steamworks SDK (v.1.62), and so Airship Dragoon has been upgraded to this. I had to comment out a change in iSteamRemotePlay.h which seems to have got quite an update but Airship Dragoon predates the concept and doesn't use it anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• Bug Fix 10 Years Later - 2 December 2024

  Found a bug were the enemy AI turn could get stuck if the pathfinding totally failed. ːnotsohappychappyː Looking at my code comments it seems I had tried to fix this 10-12 years ago ... but had not added an emergency fallback. Now there is a fallback, if the AI path to it's selected destination completely fails and cannot recover, the AI will get a random path target. ːcorblimeyguvnorː

• Steamworks SDK update 1.61 - 24 November 2024

  Lord and Protector Gaben released a new Steamworks SDK update! ːhappychappyː However this broke how the game interacts with Steam Stats ... ːnotsohappychappyː And so began the epic quest to search through ancient C++ to find the specific gibberish moonrunes which I had written over 10 years ago and fix it. It wasn't a particularly big change, in fact it was a helpful one; Steam Stats are now preloaded by the Steam Client before the game is even launched. Unfortunately this means the removal of the checks for whether the stats have loaded which means that all the safety checks for loading stats now return false and the onUserStatsReceived callback is just sitting there never getting called. So now if you bring up the console at the main menu and scroll up, you will see the achievements listed and whether you have achieved them or not ... which is just a feedback thing I made to make sure…

• Airship Dragoon 10 YEARS on STEAM - 94% Discount! - 26 August 2024

  Airship Dragoon was released on Steam, 10 whole years ago today ... that's 20% of my whole life, and the percentage is probably higher for the average Steam user. It's even a third of what Albert Spier got in Spandau for crimes against humanity. ːareusureaboutthatː To celebrate this milestone of me still updating the game when Valve release a new Steamworks SDK update, Airship Dragoon is on discount to the tune of a whopping 94%! Mostly because I can't put it to 95% because Valve has to figure in the costs of payment processing ... so 94% was as low as I can go. Back in the heady days of Greenlight (which was a thing a long time ago in a galaxy quite close) I begged for over 10,000 upvotes to get on to Steam. Now anyone can pay 100 bucks and just beg Valve. This was back in the day when indie key bundles were ten-to-a-penny and a whopping 88.2% of Airship Dragoon key activation appear t…

• Airship Dragoon Updated To Steamworks Version 1.60 - 27 June 2024

  Valve have released an update to the Steamworks SDK, and so I have updated AIrship Dragoon to the latest Steam build! Hope everyone has been enjoying summer, it's been a mixed bag at my Veg Patch. The Strawberry crop has been devastated by rain, the Swiss Chard is about to bolt, but the Lettuce is coming through strong, and a single Legume is appearing. Tune in this August for the 10th Anniversary of Airship Dragoon on Steam and more info on my veg patch.

• Steamworks Update and Human Readable Files - 9 March 2024

  Valve has updated the Steamworks SDK to version 1.9 and so AIrship Dragoon has been updated. Included in this update is the total removal of all pre-runtime compiled *.dso files, which have been replaced with the human readable *.cs code script files. This will aid anyone who fancies a bit of user generated content - or modding as we used to call it in the good old days, though having a look at the Steamworks page on setting up Steam Workshop ... turns out it's a bit more complicated than just pointing Steam towards the mod folder. ːnotsohappychappyː However that mod folder already has the "Realism Mod" in it, just to prove that modding has always worked. Airship Dragoon has been on Steam for 9.5 years now. ːcorblimeyguvnorː

• Steam Awards - Labor Of Love - 21 November 2023

  It's the Steam Awards! Airship Dragoon got an update NINE YEARS after initial release - and I had to HACK Microsoft's Visual Studio to do it! No really ... ːnotsohappychappyː Microsoft retired Visual Studio 2013, but Airship Dragoon's dependencies are not compatible with the latest Visual Studio. Not a problem until last year when they locked me out of my own build because my license went "stale" ( too much yeast perhaps?) and the online product connection has been shut down. The solution? The OFFICIAL™ solution as posted on the Microsoft forums? Hack it. Hack regedit. So I did and can now access my build again. Airship Dragoon, released 26 Aug, 2014 ... last updated 30 October 2023 - and there will be more to come. ːcorblimeyguvnorː

• Steamworks Update Patch - 30 October 2023

  Just a small patch after Valve released a fix for the Steamworks SDK, bringing it up from v.1.58 to v.1.58a. Steamworks change/fix did not actually affect the game, but it's nice to keep it up to date with the SDK. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

• Leet Haxxor and Steamworks Updated to v1.58 - 15 September 2023

  Steamworks SDK updated to v1.58. Microsoft retired Visual Studio 2013, but Airship Dragoon's dependencies are not compatible with the latest Visual Studio. Not a problem until last year when they locked me out of my own build because my license went "stale" ( too much yeast perhaps?) and the online product connection has been shut down. The solution? The OFFICIAL™ solution as posted on the Microsoft forums? Hack it. Hack regedit. So I did and can now access my build again. So here's an update. Nothing fancy, just Steamworks updated to the latest version. Airship Dragoon, released 26 Aug, 2014 ... updated 15 September 2023.

• Update To Steam SDK 1.53 - 30 November 2021

• Steam SDK Update 1.51 - 5 February 2021

  Airship Dragoon has been updated to the latest release of Steam's SDK, which is v1.51. This gives me the opportunity to test the new Steam Pipe patch notes editor - which is what you're reading ... so let's hope that works! (「ఠωఠ)「

• Dragoonette Gets A Makeover - 29 September 2020

  Airship Dragoonette has had a bit of a makeover to freshen this up this Autumn ... which apparently they call "Fall" across the pond. New hairstyle, because riding on top of airships all day really blows your curls around, strappier corset because you can never be tied in tight enough, and to top it all off, a soothing cup of tea (full caffeine). https://yorkshirerifles.com/gallery_airdrag/images/dragoonette_repaint_central.jpg Liked the old main menu and cover image? Don't worry, they display in rotation every 5 or so restarts. There's also been a change to how PANIC works. Previously it was fight or flee with an RNG, but now it's more dangerous as a panicked trooper will always go all guns blazing in an indiscriminate manner as first choice, should targets present themselves. If there is no one in obvious rage to attack in a beserk style, than they will decide that discretion is the b…

• Steamworks Update 1.49 - 13 June 2020

  Valve has updated the Steamworks SDK, and so Airship Dragoon has been recompiled and updated to work with this. There is no change to the game, just the SDK for running it on Steam.

• Steamworks Update 1.48 - 28 February 2020

  Ever wondered what the occasional, mysterious ~3mb download was? ːnotsohappychappyː Valve has been updated the Steamworks SDK, and so Airship Dragoon has been recompiled and updated to work with this. There is no change to the game, just the SDK for running it on Steam. ːsteamhappyː
