BCE: Update + scheduled for Steam release
11.07.2025
Hello admirals!
Today we have released on EGS an update featuring many improvements:
-New GUI: Ships are arranged into a cards on the bottom of the screen. The old GUI will stay in the game, too. You can switch to it from the main menu.
-Now you can randomly populate the map with islands (both sides will have the same, but this could be changed, based on demand).
Fortress, platform and Ekranoplane could be placed on islands (unless this rule was disabled by the host), but all other ships cannot touch island tiles with their sides.
-More difficulty options for the AI: Option to make him shoot more often, or have more ships than you.
-Added option to use "recommended" ship limits, based on the map size.
-Several other improvements, like ability to restart the battle, while keeping ships and multiplayer connection, or moving ships in menus.
-NAT punchtrough peer-to-peer connection, using a Noray server. Thanks to Netfox for making this possible.
And we have prepared the Steam Store for release:
Help us by wishlisting:
Game will launch 4.8.2025 at the price of 3 USD (your local price might be lower) with a 25% discount lasting 2 weeks.
Or get on Epic Games Store now:
The base price on EGS is just 2.5 USD. The difference in price is compensating for the sales share difference. That might be controversial decision, but we think it is fair.
