Over the past couple weeks I've found myself on a new and important detour! (Surprised? Probably not :P)
I decided we'll do some feature voting here for Beta 15 (more on that later), and as I...

Blog time! In order to put out Beta 14 as quickly as possible, while concentrating all my efforts on what was a very significant update that needed to happen at once, I kept the blog on hold despit...
2024-09-03 08:01:32 +0000 UTC View PostBeta 14 is done!*
*done means ostensibly done with no more balance or content changes, but if any annoying new bugs are discovered it could still be updated at the last minute if necessar...

As usual the late...
2024-07-27 14:10:25 +0000 UTC View PostA longer wait than I had intended, but X2 is here! If you've been on Discord you'll know the main reason: I added more stuff, oops :P
In the wake of X1, most of the issues were either quickly...
2024-07-27 14:08:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe UFD is here! Beta 13 was the original target for adding the UFD (new faction!), but as most of you know we were side tracked with the whole new mega UI update, which as it happens came at just ...
2024-07-14 01:23:21 +0000 UTC View PostOkay so I'm not adding a whole slew of side quests to Cogmind (YET), but I have been doing a bit of side questing of my own lately, using some extra time to work on a few, well, yeah side questable...
2024-06-13 07:31:38 +0000 UTC View PostThere are some items on my still very long TODO list of potential features or changes for Cogmind which have always been inevitable, but myself being able to only work on one thing at a time, some ...
2024-05-07 12:59:46 +0000 UTC View PostWhat goes up, must come down!
Things are finally settling down, at least on the outside, but I've been hard at work as ever, late nights and very full days, dealing with all sorts of stuff--d...

2024-03-15 00:40:13 +0000 UTC View PostAs you may have noticed, there was no new wizard key for the Beta 13 final release--the same old key applies. Our next key will come out with the first Beta 14 prerelease, but in the meantime I hav...

To really get the point across, this version is dubbed "Zoom All The Things," and this latest build should hopef...

Well for a while I had skipped away do the engine work I had in mind to support UI upscaling, and having proven that would be possible, I then still neede...
2024-02-11 08:34:42 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've done a lot of writing about this new 45-row UI, and built a lot of the architecture to support it, but yes the actual work has to actually be done at some point, and that ...
2024-01-27 05:22:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe series continues! Part 4 is another about new architecture in support of all the recent interface work, which I've just begun in earnest this week. I've been intermittently sharing GIFs on Disc...

2024-01-05 13:58:16 +0000 UTC View PostWell this was quite the detour! Sorry for the delay, and especially that we were really supposed to be getting new content sooner here, but this turned out to be a mega QoL release instead...
Towards the end of the map zooming work I couldn't help but take advantage of the opportunity for a new animation to test out a lot of possible concepts. Like dozens and dozens of them :P

2023-12-07 03:35:28 +0000 UTC View PostWith map zooming complete, the next step on my list was to work on QoL to make it actually more feasible to play like that. Zooming is great, but if you're always zoomed in, there's a lot ...
