## ASHES OF THE SINGULARITY IS EVERYWHERE ## We just came back from the Game Developer's Conference.   It was a great week for the Nitrous engine (the underlying engine used in Ashes of the Singularity). Big News: AMD is bundling Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation with more and more CPUs   The hardware bundling keeps a steady stream of new players coming into our community. Moreover, the AMD Ryzen chips, which are 8-cores, really show off the power of th...

By definition, there can only be one singularity. Ashes of the Singularity and Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation are being merged.  There will be only one game: Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation. Everyone who already has Ashes of the Singularity will also have Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation.  To understand why we have decided to do this a little background on the development of Ashes of the Singularity is needed...

Our story so far... Stardock loves real-time strategy games.  Our customers love real-time strategy games ( Sins of a Solar Empire remains our best selling game of all time).  And we want your opinion on something important to us. When Stardock sold off its digital distribution business to GameStop in 2011, we took that capital to help found a number of new studios including Soren Johnson's Mohawk Games , Mothership Entertainment , Stardock Towson and Oxide Games ...

Greetings! February is here and there is a ton of stuff to talk about. [..] ## VULKAN ## We have been working diligently on Vulkan support and I am pleased to tell you that we have it...mostly working.  We are tentatively scheduled to release Escalation v2.1 (Ashes 1.51) on February 16.   Unfortunately, Vulkan won't make it in there as it needs a little more time to bake. ## REPLAYS ## We have this.  It's not super stable though so we're still ...

We are currently working on additional units for Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation.  The T4s and more T3s are not units you will run into in the competitive multiplayer games but on the bigger maps, late game, we run into a lot of cases where the existing units just aren't powerful enough to distinguish between one civilization and another. Below is a list of some of the units we are considering.  Feel free to suggest your names: Name Level ...

So I did a lot of changes on Ashes balance over the holiday and the team was asking for those changes to be checked in. I said, "Sorry! I forgot to check them in, they're at home..." Then suddenly, I realized, I had taken my work machine home to do those changes and brought my work machine back to the office after break. So I do have them here which means my balance and AI tweaks can go in the upcoming update after all!

It’s amazing how much Ashes of the Singularity has changed in just a few months.  It was only released back in May and here we are in December as I write this and it’s undergone a lot of changes. Below I want to outline some of things we have on our plate for 2017: T4s Next year we’re going to introduce Juggernauts.  These are T4s       The T4s will be to the T3s what the T3s are the the T2s.  They will be substantially bigger...

A very long time ago, like, a million years ago, Stardock made a game called The Corporate Machine.  Like all of Stardock’s games, it was played almost exclusively single player.  But unlike our other games, it was surprisingly popular in multiplayer.  How come? For The Corporate Machine we did the following: Start-Up Watcher: A little system tray app that monitored for available games and let people launch it. 7 multiplayer only keys that people who owned t...
