Written by When I get a moment to work on Isochron, I’ve been having fun playing around with the new dev tool to try out new weapons, mechanics, LOS, and a new AI. The rewrite to use the new strategic engine (the same one used in Lost Company) is going so well that it was time to show off a video of it in action.
Keep in mind that it’s a dev tool at the moment so you’ll be able to see from the point of view of the aliens when it’s their turn and you’ll see some damage text appear to let me know what’s going on. Physics based ballistics is still coming, but the keen observer will see the following implemented:
- TUs
- Energy
- Health (and armour but that’s hard to tell from the vid)
- Full Line Of Sight with lighting
- AI Controlled aliens
- Team control
- An AP weapon prototype
- A HE weapon prototype (the mech shoots this one)
- And some other stuff.
I managed to mess up the sound so it’s very quiet, but some sounds are in there now too. Stay tuned for some more, once we meet a good milestone in Lost Company, I’ll be putting a lot of effort into getting the unit equip screen back and finishing off the physics ballistics.
Enjoy!

This is looking awesome
Yay! Progress!
This looks fantastic!
Any idea of when it’s going to be available in the App Store??
Not that I’m impatient or anything… but HURRY UP!
GREAT!
Iv been watching your site for WAY to long now. This video is great beathe of of fresh air. Looks like there is a huge amount of work to be done yet, but still very exiting to see what has been done so far.
Are you still working on this? It’s been three months without an update of any kind.. :/
He probably is, it’s not the first time his blog wasn’t updated for months just to be showered with news for a good while afterwards.
Long time in dev… from the blog posts…prior to 4/09? Who do we have to help this man hire to get this done! Can’t wait!
Still progressing – Major AI developments going on in between paid work. Sorry about the lack of updates.
Hmm, Isochron Dev Tool sound quite interesting, I hope I can play on it too,
