Today marks Cogmind's two-year anniversary since the beginning of Alpha! Sure has been a while, but wow has it turned into so much more than it was even then :D
The Beta's been going pretty smoothly, lots of wins (http://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/scores/) already as some Cogminds are checking out the new win animations (although only a couple different ones have been discovered so far!). Too bad it took a couple days for everyone to notice and confirm that, yes, targeting was accidentally pretty screwed up and in need of an emergency 1.1 update to correct (and while I was at it nerf some of the new mechanics, heh).

Lo and behold, a 1.2 is around the corner! And... for some it's already here, if you'd like to check it out in the release thread (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=786.0) and get a preview :)

The official update will come next Tuesday, and while I won't announce it here that day, everyone's links will be updated then and I'll throw up a notice on Twitter etc., plus the in-game news will remind anyone still playing 1.1 or older.
A surprising amount of stuff made it into 1.2 over the past week, most notably on-map combat logs

and a whole bunch of pathfinding stuff including much smarter pathfinding for mouse players:

In other news, it was nice to finally get back into actually playing this week, with a two-day stream of the latest Beta 1.1 seed that I took to victory despite several very close calls :D. You can see images and VOD links here (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=792.msg6081#msg6081).
Aaaahh so much fun stuff we can do now that the world is complete and so little time!!! :P
Seeing as we're at this two-year milestone (hm, right after the Beta milestone :P), it's about time to do another financial writeup on the blog. Got a couple things I need to write up, actually... Will get busy on that next week!
