Monthly Development Update - February 2026

23 Mar

February was all about pushing gameplay forward. This month we rolled out a complete revamp of space missions and maps, alongside major improvements to enemy AI, combat flow, performance, and just overall making the game feel better. The result is a faster, more reactive, and more continuous combat experience across both real-time and turn-based gameplay.

Space has seen the biggest transformation. Missions now take place across distinct sectors, with different environments near planets and the sun which has made a huge difference in making each encounter feel more contextual and varied. Combat has been reworked to stay active, with ships continuously spawning to maintain pressure, new Void Ship enemy types entering the fight, and improved AI making engagements more dynamic. Systems like weapon overheat, missile-equipped enemies, boost lock on damage, and smarter targeting all add more moment-to-moment decisions to make.

On the ground, we’ve expanded mission variety with new missions and random planetary events; Void Tears that spawn waves of enemies until they’re shut down. These moments bring a new layer of urgency and reward, encouraging players to react quickly and adapt mid-mission rather than simply running around to complete objectives.

Across the board, we’ve continued refining how the game feels to play. Weapons, UI feedback, interactions, and respawning have all been improved for clarity and reliability. Visual and audio updates, from improved hit impacts to new mission music and better spatial sound to help reinforce the action, while performance gains make everything run smoother.
February marks a clear step toward a more dynamic, responsive Warped Universe where combat flows, systems connect, and every mission feels more alive.

Any way to apply for a test?

I see references to ongoing testing, but see how way of applying for it. With how Destiny is these days, I really want to try something new.

The Great Simulation: Results

21 Mar

We ran The Great Simulation March 11-18 and the testers delivered.

For those who missed it, we compressed a full 4 month season into one week to stress test the solar system metagame from start to finish.

Here's where the system landed by the end of the week:

Population: 902,104
Power Plants: 20/20
Farms: 20/20
Housing: 20/20
Spaceports: 6/6
Research: 30/30
Factories: 58/58
Season Progress: 100%

Players Connected:

Players jumped on Discord and started coordinating on their own. Which sectors needed what, which facilities to prioritize, how to buff the system for everyone. Automatic updates were sent to our Discord for each time a Sector was completed or discovered, and shouted out the player who completed it. The system felt alive and churning. It was great to see.

What we are tuning going into Early Access:

Individual stat progression is getting a boost. Some players put in serious time this week and we felt their personal growth should reflect their effort more. That's getting fixed, and the testers will get to keep their stats even when the system map resets for starting Season Zero.

Honestly we were expecting to find some big issues with the system expansion as we have never pushed it this far and this quick. But Instead it was mostly smaller bugs we were able to squash, and the overall system held up well. The balancing worked. The metagame functioned exactly the way it was designed to. We're really excited where this is heading.

We've got a few other big updates to push which we are working on now, and then we'll be ready to go for EA!

The Great Simulation Kicks Off Now

MARCH 11-18

A full season runs about 4 months. We're doing it in one week. Progression and unlocks are accelerated so you can actually see how everything connects. Sectors, planets, pylons, exploration. Every mission feeds the system. This will help players see how their actions affect all in the Universe, and also helps the team stress test progression and make sure all the systems are nice and oiled.

We also built new in-game UI that shows all system progression data and milestones so you can watch the solar system map evolve as it happens, and get updates every time you log in. We also have implemented a way for the game to push milestones in progression to our Discord too, with credit going to whoever pulled it off. One week. Then it resets. March 11-18.

Jump in to our Discord to help us test and experience The Great Simulation!

Performance needs a serious check

I am playing games on 3440x1440 on ultra but this game is slugging in 30-40 fps. What is going on :D EDIT: Turning ray tracing off fixed the problem. EDIT2: Yeah nope. Game froze. Gonna wait for a more stable demo.

Ground & space Real-Time Action Vs. Turn-Based Strategy on ground & space!

In the Warped Universe, players can choose between two primary gameplay modes, each offering a distinct experience: 1. Real-Time Action: This mode is designed for those who enjoy fast-paced, immersive gameplay. It allows players to engage in third-person action shooter experiences, whether on the ground or in flight. It's perfect for thrill-seekers who prefer immediate decision-making and quick reflexes. 2. Turn-Based Strategy: Ideal for players who prefer a more tactical approach, this mode offers a top...

You pulled the demo?!

Sigh there are too many games to try all of them during nextfest, I think a little gameplay would still go a long way, but it's down sadly. I know the games I was able to try late are now on my wishlist the others, just deleted which removes them from your account and library automatically as I need the space. Not a threat just a heads up on what players do....
