A game browser is a must have at this point. As good as the game might be in Unity, it's just too impractical right now :x

#GoFizzer

Here are the patch notes from today's update:


3.17.3.10:
- Added the tutorial. To try it, start up single player level 21.
- Added update notifications so the app will tell you if a new version is available.
- The Nudge and Boot buttons are no longer visible in single-player games.
- The end-game dialog now has an "All graphs" button to go straight to Statistics Graphs, if the player has unlocked the statistics panel.
- Hid the luck graphs on 0% SR games, since they would be all 0s anyway.
- Fixed a bug with the way rectangles scaled in some places, such as when re-sizing the color column of the statistics players table.
- Autopilot button is no longer shown if you're not in the game. Thanks to Muli for suggesting.
- Clicking autopilot's run+commit button now skips watching the final turn.
- Territories that aren't part of bonuses now say "None" in their inspect window. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Territories that don't have any connections now say "Nowhere" in their inspect window. Thanks to DanWL for suggesting this.
- Fixed a bug that made the game deselect your current territory whenever one of your teammates changed their orders.
- Fixed a bug that made players show as turned into AI during distribution when they weren't at that point. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- The settings icons in the lobby are no longer scrollable. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused territory/bonus snapshots to show another territory/bonus behind them. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that prevented information about teammate's orders from popping up when selecting them. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.

cool :)

... I think someone gave me the download link forever ago. Were they not supposed to? it's basically the same thing.

The link has been public on his stream for a week or two now

ok but sTEAM wHEN, b0SS?

@Mightyspeck you will want to download this version since it is updated/has the bug fixes.

omg omg omg

Hey Fizzer! Will this client be supported inside a browser(WebGL)? I use a Chromebook.

I really like it.
I like the fact that after you finish deploying it moves you automatically to attack mode.
However I was in Big Europe map and when I was trying to make attacks it kept bringing up the card dialog box. I guess it just needs a little fine tuning, but I like how much faster everything is.

The big maps get bogged down on the Flash version esp when you get near the end. I didn't see any hesitation at all playing my big maps.
I cant wait till its all finished.

Performance on a random RoR game on Flash vs Unity on a pc that hates flash:

Amazing difference! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

A new version is out! Here's the changelog:


3.17.3.11:
- Finished implementing map preview. You can now view bonuses, distribution modes, or toggle army numbers on the map.
- The "Cards" button in the orders menu is now visible when you're in history.
- Renamed "Opponent's Cards" button to "Cards"
- Added an entry to the debug menu to show FPS or to alter the target framerate.
- Added the hotkey "Y" to open the statistics menu.
- The player popup dialog now closes when clicking the Speed button. Thanks to Muli for suggesting this.
- The game speed dialog now scrolls so long text doesn't push the Close button off the bottom. Thanks to Muli for suggesting this.
- The average game speed and banked time is now displayed at the top of the game speed dialog instead of the bottom. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Hide the "Show or hide teammates orders" button when the game is finished. Thanks to Muli for suggesting this.
- When the game window gets very small, the orders list menu button no longer goes off the right side of the window.
- Fixed a bug that broke the tutorial if the player held down Control while attacking. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error when closing the game while animations were playing. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused weird map movement when pressing the "T" hotkey to open chat in single player. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug when clicking "hide teammates orders" while viewing a teammate's orders directly that caused deployed numbers to appear incorrectly. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error if a refresh event fired while the player popup was in the middle of opening. Thanks to Njittam for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused the orders list menu to appear off-screen if the game window was sized to be very small.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error when switching away from a screen that had map tooltips.

With Unity, Farah can now play on maps larger than ROR! Yay!

@Fizzer: Suggestion that has nothing to do with the actual game. As more bugs begin to crop up, perhaps splitting the changelogs into [Updates] and [BugFixes] might be a good formatting idea. Completely unimportant change tho. Tried the unity player, adore the visuals. I'd like a few of the settings to show up in the unity player, whether that's the settings pane in unity or unity translating the preferences from the flash version. (e.g.: I'd like the slider to always show up.)

Thanks so much, keep up the good work!

Sorry, I haven't followed the details. Since someone posted that the Unity version of the Cowzow AI actually plays sound I'm wondering to which extent some competitive AI play can now get supported.

I'd like the slider to always show up.

The deployment slider always shows up in the Unity client except for in the tutorial and in level 1, where it doesn't show up at all. The rest of your settings should translate from the Flash version already.

A new version is out! Here's the changelog:


3.17.3.12 2017-03-10:
- Changed the way cards are shown in the upper left and in the card's dialog when browsing history. It now shows you cards that you had at that point in the game. The "Cards" button in the upper right now says "Opponent's cards" again, as it's only use is for seeing opponent's cards instead of viewing your own cards in history.
- Changed the default FPS cap from infinite to 60. This fixes high CPU usage on the app. This can be configured in the debug menu. Thanks to Muli and TBest for reporting this.
- Changed the default anti-aliasing from 2x to 8x to make the app less pixelated. This can be configured in the debug menu. Thanks to Adam for reporting this.
- The card preview section's click radius now hugs the size of the cards instead of the area to the right of the cards. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Added some padding around the vote-to-end dialog so text does not get cut off. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Added some padding around the "No cards" label in the Cards dialog so the text does not get cut off. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Added some padding around the metrics in the graphs section so the radio button does not get cut off. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that made the clock hover not work reliably. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed the radio buttons so that they circles are always the same size. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed the single player balloons so they don't always overlap other dialogs, except during tutorial.
- Fixed a bug that caused the autopilot menu to stay open when hiding the autopilot button. However, leave it open for about a second so people mad-clicking the autopilot button in singleplayer can click it that one final time to skip the turn. Thanks to TBest for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused map visuals and other things to leak memory. Thanks to muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that caused the background to cover the map when launching map preview. Thanks to njittam for reporting.
- Fixed a bug that caused errors if you selected a bonus in map preview and then closed map preview. Thanks to njittam for reporting.
- Fixed a bug that caused an error when viewing player's speed. Thanks to muli for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug during the tutorial that made the orders list nearly impossible to click while the arrow was pointing at it.



Here's how the anti-aliasing change affects the map, if you blow them up to be large:
