New Enemy Unit - Prowler Nanomachine. This unit has two interesting abilities. First, it has "stealth". You won't see it unless your units get close enough. However, your long-ranged units will fire at it even though you can't see it. The catch is that long-ranged units are too slow …Joewoof's Woes I

The past 4 days was horrible. I had to wake up VERY EARLY in the morning (at least, by my standards) and I unfortunately am very, very vulnerable to sleep deprivation. Can't help it though. It was a funeral anniversary. A Chinese thing.Heh, it's so ironic, considering how …Immunocide - Update 8

Spent a long time today working out an outline for The Chained Sky characters. I'm not working as fast as I'd hoped, but at least, I've got some work done today.

New Unit - Endomiasma. This is where it all comes together. "Endomiasma" is essentially the enemy's factory structure. It uses an AI system that decides, based on the situation, which unit it will produce at that moment. It can also clone itself as "Baby Endomiasma" units. To defeat it, …Immunocide - Update 4

Last night was bad. I spent way too much time on the details, instead of actually creating new content. What's irritating about it is how much time it needs to test out whether something is well implemented or not. That's one drawback about trying to make an RTS game …SBS Meeting & Immunocide Update 3
