Flow field pathfinding for single units now fully restored. They work for bridges and tunnels now.

We're introducing flocking to remedy the clumping seen in the vid.

Infantry squeezing past each other in tight spaces. Units with a valid path now reach their destination 100% of the time.

Here are the generic faction secretaries. This is set of uniforms, hairstyles and hats that we can mix to get a huge variety.

Should be enough for now.

Version 0.07 is available both here and on Itch. This focuses on tiles, maps, and map generation. Mainly a visual update.

Do check it out!

Flowmaps have returned. This will be the main thing for version 0.08. Should improve pathfinding significantly.

Also, current map count: 103.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

The implementation of flow maps continues. We finally have active object avoidance in-game now.

Still lots to do, but it's all coming together.

Here's some group movement and formations at the destination.

Still some jitters to fix, but that's easier to fix than getting flow fields and formations right.

What was your favorite demo from the June 2026 Steam Next Fest?

Basic group movement added. This isn't flocking, not even sure we're going to add that at this point.
