- Abatron Development Update - 12 May 2017
A big thank you to all of our Abatron Early Supporters! We really appreciate all of you. Over the past few months, we have gotten a lot of very useful feedback and play data from our community. It made us look and evaluate our game in new ways, so keep it up! We are going through some drastic changes on the game itself and I want give a sneak peak of whats to come. Our current workflow to create maps is very extensive and time consuming. In addition, we are running into a non-scalable memory budget when we add new races plus one of our goals for Abatron is to be Mod friendly. We are in the process of fixing all that with new texturing techniques and map building tools. With our new map creation workflow, we are able to produce maps in the fraction of the time that look really beautiful. We can't wait to show more on that but it is very exciting. We are committed in making Abatron wonder…

- Roadmap for Abatron - 29 March 2017
We've got some awesome changes coming down the pipe for Abatron. We recently made available our Trello Roadmap. This is what we are working on now and a little farther down the road. Check it out here: http://trello.com/b/wi2xqdgP/abatron-roadmap This is a Summarized Version of our internal tracking list. Things may change some as we move through the list, but it gives a good idea of our up-to-date priorities and focus. We are planning a new Party system to be released very soon. Once we bitbang all of the bugs out, we'll make it live. Steam friends can join into a party from the main menu without actually connecting to a lobby first. More on that to come and much more! Thanks for all your support!
