Arms Against Tyranny | Change Log

Generals!

The day is soon upon us, with Arms Against Tyranny and the Stella Polaris update sealed up and ready to ship. The development process for AAT has been a pleasure to be part of, and the team have acquitted themselves admirably throughout - we’re all keen to see what you think of our efforts, and hope you enjoy what we have to offer.

The coming weeks also mark a period of post-release support for us. We prefer to remain reactive to the community’s needs here: creating an immediate post-release ‘roadmap’ actually makes it harder for us to do that. So instead, I’m here to explain that we’ll be here maintaining an active presence, and will react quickly as needed and as time and resources allow.

In time-honored fashion, we’re releasing the patch notes to you early, so you can theorycraft, eagerly anticipate, or commiserate the fixing of your favorite exploits a day or two early. As usual, missing notes can happen, and if we find these they will be added to a spoiler at the end of this post as time goes on.

The 1.13.0 Update & 1.13.1 will be released at the same time.

Note that Localisation for the Changed Log will be added later in the day, and if you missed the Dev Diary that went along with this, you can check it out here!
