- Liquidation is entering Early Access. - 4 August 2026
The time has finally comeIt took years of work to reach this point. I kept delaying the release because I wanted to be absolutely sure the game's quality was where it needed to be for players and buyers. My focus has always been delivering a smooth, fluid, responsive RTS experience - and I finally feel the game has reached that level. I hope many of you will find what I’ve created entertaining and engaging. And for those who don’t, I can only promise that I will do my best to improve the game as development continues.

- Replays 2.0 - 6 July 2026
Steam Next Fest is officially behind us! The Liquidation demo was just disabled for the time being, as it stopped being representative of the current state of the game. Now, this post isn't here to get you talking about the game, or to remind you to wishlist (though please do both!). We’re here to show off a feature that we believe should be the absolute gold standard for RTS games everywhere.ReplaysReplays are a pretty standard feature for deterministic RTS games like Liquidation. But what isn't standard? Jumping directly into the driver's seat while watching one.Behold the replay control panel: That's right, you can now TAKE CONTROL of a replay mid-watch. Made a fatal mistake in a battle? Rewind, take the wheel, and see how the match could have played out if you tried a different strategy.Note: Currently, the Take Control feature is single-player only.Check it out live in all its glor…

- Widescreen support - 11 May 2026
Until today, widescreen support was missing simply because I don’t own a widescreen display myself, so it slipped under my radar. Once I realized the oversight, I jumped on it and got it fixed. Liquidation now fully supports widescreen resolutions, with the UI scaling correctly. If you’re one of the players rocking those big displays, feel free to try it out and see the improvement for yourself. And if some of you want to buy me widescreen display, so nothing like this ever happens again - come chat with me on our Discord
- Major Movement & Collision Upgrade - 7 May 2026
Smooth and responsive unit movement is one of the pillars of a great RTS experience. And although Liquidation provided decent movement systems, they were far from perfect. There were still instances where units could get stuck or choose less than optimal routes. Large Behemoths trying to squeeze into the narrowest gaps :) And it wasn't good enough.So, I decided to take another deep look into movement systems!What did I improve?Far smoother movement - units no longer snag or jitter (or far less)Significantly improved collision avoidance - units avoid obstacles / enemies with better precisionBetter wall avoidance - units will no longer walk into forests ;)Improved pathing for large units - large units no longer try to walk areas where they don't fitBetter performanceThis overhaul doesn’t just feel better, it plays better and performs better.And you can try that for yourself by checking ou…
- June 2025 - Steam Demo! - 1 June 2025
Next Liquidation Demo is here! Starting June 3rd, 2025 - the new Liquidation demo will be live for one week only! In the demo you can: Battle the AI in classic skirmish mode Face off against other players (lobby based, no matchmaking) Play the recently announced King of the Hill mode Watch replays Command any of the three currently available factions: The Twilight Crusade The Legion The Scourge Alliance What changed since the last demo? In some ways - a lot has changed. In others, things feel familiar. First off, the commander system has been replaced with a hero system - something you might recognize from a certain legendary fantasy RTS. We’ve also made further improvements to pathfinding and collision avoidance, boosting both unit behavior and overall game performance. Then, of course - we added: The Scourge Alliance King of the Hill mode New visual and effects and polish New voices N…
- The Scourge - new faction reveal! - 24 May 2025
The Scourge Alliance Please, welcome the third fully playable race in Liquidation - the Scourge Alliance! Rising from the depths below the ground, the Scourge bring with them an arsenal of highly advanced technology and a force unlike anything the surface dwellers have faced before. The gloomy and enigmatic underworld that lies under the endless sands of the buried city of Al’akam was reawakened during the catastrophe. The Scourge Alliance consists of many different creatures, with Lamias and Toadkin forming the backbone of their armies. Some of their units are equipped with energy shields that reduce incoming damage, thus giving them a formidable edge in battle. In the event of another demo coming out anytime soon, The Scourge will be available. All frog and lizard fans - your time to shine has come! With technology never seen before by the surface dwellers, the Scourge Alliances unyie…
- New Game Mode! - 17 May 2025
Hello Everyone! We had some discussions on the Community Discord in February and March about introducing new game modes to Liquidation. From those discussions sprung King of the Hill mode, now it's live in the game and fully playable! How does it work? In King of the Hill (KOTH), you can win by either wiping out your opponents or reaching the target number of Victory Points. Victory Points counter at the top right of the screen. Monoliths In order to earn Victory Points, a player needs to capture and hold Monoliths. Send any infantry unit (not vehicles) to one, and they'll begin capturing. You will see a clear progress indicator near the structure. An Engineer from the Crusade capturing a Monolith. Capturing enemy-held Monoliths takes away 100 points from player, so aggressive play pays off. This redemption mechanic will allow you to rip victory away from your opponents hands, if they d…
- New Character Portraits! - 12 May 2025
Hello there! Just so you know - the game is still cooking, and it's cooking well. To show you a little of what's happening behind the scenes, here's a showcase of some of the new portraits that are in the game, along some familiar Crusade faces. I wonder... What do you think these units can do? Which factions do they belong to? What are their names? Now for the last question, can you guess what the green ones sound like? You might just get the chance to find out - and soon. ------ If you're enjoying the art and want to connect with the Liquidation community - feel free to join us on Discord!
- Update - Pathfinding Improvements - 21 September 2024
Long time no see! We've had a huge break from writing news, but the game development didn't stop even for a moment in that time. Actually, there's been a lot of exciting things happening behind the scenes. Anyway, today it's time to talk about Pathfinding in Liquidation. There've been some significant updates recently, and it's time to share them with the community! To start the topic, here's a dev view of how buildings can now look on the pathfinding grid in Liquidation: It's important to note that before this round of changes, the buildings were simple rectangles on the pathfinding grid. Now, the shapes on the grid match the actual buildings much better. The consequence of them being simple rectangles was as simple as the following picture present. The units weren't able to sneak through corners. But now, after the change - they can. That also means Dominus can finally walk between th…
