After way too much time, the Broken Space "map pack" is finally no longer a misnomer: I am happy to introduce the Broken Bloodline map!
The smaller version of the map offers both open long range sight lines and a central CQB closed space, with plenty of narrow passageways to navigate somewhat safely... Or to spring a daring ambush on the enemy!
The larger version is the opposite, with an open central no man's land that will be troublesome to cross, but plenty of cover on t...

Quick teaser about my new Nebulous project: a new map called Broken Bloodline. It will come in two variant for small and large player count like my other one. This will not be as cheerfully colorful as my other one...
I previously spent several days trying to find a good workflow to make a different map to no avail. As it turns out, broken rocks are not that easy to model! It may be time for me to learn a new better suited sculpting software and the accompanying skills...

Deadly Armaments Manufacture of Novia 0.3.20
Two new weapons have been added:
- OD21.S2 "Muselar" rocket launcher. A class 4 30 cells turret that launches modular premium rockets. Those can mount standard HEI warheads as well as HEKP ones or even pen aid modules. Part of ANS' arsenal.
- OD15.350 "Arquebus" long range howitzer. A spinal artillery piece firing low velocity 350mm AP-RPF shells. Designed ...

Deadly Armaments Manufacture of Novia 0.3.13
The past 3 minor updates have been introducing a lot of balance changes to level the field between weapons. The highlights would be:
- Most turrets now fire continuously rather than in bursts. This is to lower the initial damage spike that made some Prism ships very oppressive (the Pythagoras in particular) Total RPM and durability were also changed up and down.
- Most

Work on the full weapon set for Prism is still going strong, but damn it is a huge amount of work!
I'm done with the models, the cleanup, the UVs, the LODs, the exports (yes those are real words!) and most of the weapons now have a baseline implementation in Unity. I have to cleanup some bugs and deal with all the small requirements like icons, or modular missiles editor screen, before starting to look at a first round of testing.
While testing is going, I will do the texturing wh...

Quick one today just to announce that I'm currently working on a full set of weapons for Prism. These will be part of DAMN which will become a requirement for using Prism. That way people can still use the weapons in their mods without having to load a full faction.
Of note: Prism will loose access to all vanilla weapons C3 and up except for the VLS' and the Mk.64. They will keep using ANS small guns, will have their own big ones in the same calibers, as well as large size Blunderbusses...

This updates slightly nerfs the durability of the Pythagoras (don't worry too much, it is still a beast) and significantly buffs the Thales in an attempt to make it easier to deploy.
Thanks to AGM and his new AGMLIB mod, we are introducing a new paint-job switching component, allowing you to customize your ships' liveries on a hull-by-hull basis, along 6 new paint themes to choose from!
The sub-faction system has thus been removed.

This update will probably makes a lot of people very happy. I've been long dissatisfied how Wanzers have slowly been cornered into an ever narrower niche. Obviously it was my own doing, but it came over time and across several game updates that dramatically changed the behavior of carriers: despite having been updated, they still inherited vestigial design choices that were necessary when fighters were the kings of the battlespace and were very easy to spam into unstoppable deathballs.

Here is a new update for Prism that re-balances significantly the acceleration/turn rate values of all ships: Overall Prism ships will be less agile at dodging shots, but faster at presenting their best profile to incoming fire than their ANS equivalents. This fixes the Descartes being unable to use its spinal mounts effectively.
I am also introducing custom paint-jobs! You can now pick among 3 "sub-factions" each with their own style. Currently you can choose between t...

This update provides more fixes and improvements to the bosses. I tried to solve some odd deploying behaviors, added the missing limited descriptions when encountering them, repaired the bounties not showing up at all, as well as implementing a balance pass for their minions.
I also added three new custom Nexerelin starts that hopefully will open new interesting opportunities for role-play and offer unique challenges. These are Mulligan!, Break-up Hanghover

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing great.
I writing this post because I wanted to apologize for the lack of updates recently. My day job kicked into overdrive the past couple of months and while I'm working on pretty cool cinematics (including one that will be broadcasted at the Games Awards) I was left with little time or energy for side projects.
Therefore I paused the billing of my Patreon for at least a month, hoping I can resume working on my projects...

PRISM Aerospace International 0.2.21 - "Math harder"
The Thales finally got some love: the hull now has four emplacements for custom VLS. These are only available in 46 size one cells, and 12 size two cells.

Additionally I'm experimenting with a different hull buff that may end up being applied to the entire faction: The ship now has 4 (!) base missile programming channels, but also a -50% program...

First map for this pack is done, with three more in the work.
Broken Heart is an average sized map where both teams spawn fairly close to each other separated by a giant wall. It offers a rich tactical environment with both choke-points and alternate routes to reach objectives. It is also quite enjoyable against the AI.
Three more, "Broken Dream", "Broken Bones", "Broken Spirit", are in the prototyping phase.

- Euler's hull bonus changed to +25% missile programming speed,
- The Descartes got back its top C4 mount, and both now have unmasking tags since the conflict with spinal weapons has been fixed.

The OD5.250 "Ocelot" is a class 4 revolver cannon, with very high accuracy and traverse to efficiently engage small and medium targets at the cost of one rather large mount.
This is the opening of my foray into Nebulous weapon-making. I have plans for half a dozen of guns although some might not be doable at my current skill level. For figuring out the workflow I made this rather simple upgrade over the Mk64 250mm cannon.

PAI presents the pride of its engineering teams: The Pythagoras-class heavy torchship. By its sheer presence alone, this behemoth can deter any hostile intention from noisy neighbors.

PAI is proud to present its newest, biggest addition yet: the Descartes-class heavy torchship. Sturdy and very dangerous for any heavy ship caught in its gaze, this hull can be fitted to either rush forward at flank speed to take out critical heavy targets, or to deploy overwhelming long range support fire.
BEWARE, THE DESCARTES DOES NOT UNMASK ITS MAIN TURRETS. This is an issue that should be fixed in the next game update.
Additionally I fixed an...
