Update 7.9 - Bug fix and Balance Patch
Release Date: September 26, 2025
Update 7.1 has been canceled and the changes in that update will be added along side this release, and will instead be a much larger bug fix update.
What’s new:
AI
The AI has received the following technical changes:
- Changed how the AI perceives, identify, and stores the coordinates of target locations. These changes now impact the following behaviors:
* The AI now is less likely to glitch in terms of pointing with multiple targets.
* The rate at which the AI updates target coordinates has been increased by roughly 15%
* The rate at which the AI adjusts it’s aim when pointing at targets has been roughly increased by 20%. The turn speed at which the AI turns to point at it’s target coordinates remains unchanged.
Maps
The following maps have received changes
Port Morsby
- Removed the collision at the boardwalks at the northern side of the map closest to the A point
- Fixed multiple collison issues with the buildings. The walls are now centered on the houses and are no longer offset from each of the buildings
*Fixed Airstrike bombs exploding inside of houses due to collision offset

Hi @sirbots , I’m thinking of making a game similar to your war game. I posted the sneak peak in one of my forums (https://forum.creaticode.com/topic/1995/sneak-peak-for-my-next-game). Can you tell me if it looks good at first glance? Also, this isn’t a direct copy of your game, I’m using ideas from my previous top down games like Bot Test.
Also, it’s really tricky for me to make detection on enemies. If I make friendly AI units, I may also need help on that. If you are fine with helping me on that as well I would really appreciate it. You are the only one that I know that makes games similar to this.
Please help all my projects are 3000+ blocks

@the_true_odst use my targeting system for my bots. It’s hard to explain
@sirbots I figured out the targeting system (albeit everything does need to be smaller), if you check my sneak peak topic

Development Notes
This update is focused on adding the next set of abilities, adjusting the AI to also have those abilities applied to them, performing some quality of life changes, and bug fixes.
This update adds 4 new abilities.
For the AI, A change was made so that the ability assigned to the Support class involving it’s increased size is applied.
After performing some battle trials, a small increase in the rate at which Medics can heal when above 50 HP was applied.
For the Support class, it’s size increase due to its ability was reduced to make the likely hood of the AI hitting the player and subsequent opponents less likely.
For the Medic and Support classes, it was made so that they spawn at their maximum possible HP, instead of the benchmark 100 HP. This is done so both of these classes can utilize the benefits of their abilities right away.
For the Assault class, it was made so that this class would be pre selected upon spawning without selecting a class beforehand.
Lastly, multiple bug fixes were made.
The next update will focus on balance and adding the last 2 classes, along with further bug fixes.

Development Notes
This update is focused on adding the last of Abilities, adjusting some weapon statistics to balance out their effect in the absence of specials, improving AI targeting, and multiple audio and visual changes
To make the AI more effective at targeting opponents, the rate at which they reset their targets and search for new ones has increased, and occurs more often in their behavior code.
To the Apothecary class, its reload time was reduced for it to take advantage of its new ability. Additionally, a fire rate buff was also made.
During the after update battle trials, the Marksman lacked performance severely without it’s reload booster. As compensation, a reload time buff was made, along with its rate of fire increased.
For Tiger’s Eye, make so that kills heal more health to further compensate the Marksman for lack of a reload booster.
For Steel Minded, it’s set damage reduction was toned back significantly so damage from Anchors and supports will not be overexcessively mitigated.
Lastly, multiple UI changes were made, including removing some content relating to Specials.
