Island Dog v2.20 improves AI, Balance, and Gameplay 12/17/2015 1:00:00 PM The crew here at Stardock cares a lot about our community and the games that we produce for you. That’s why we’re pleased to announce that version 2.20 for is available for you today! Even when a title is "finished" and put out to market, there are always little things we find that could use a tweak or a change here and there. We also know what it’s like to enjoy an old game so much that you keep going back to it, even when there are newer and "better" versions of it out there. With help of some awesome community members, the Dev Team has taken all of the suggestions and implemented them into this update. You can find he entire change log (spoiler alert: it’s long!) at the bottom of this post. A few words from our CEO and President, Brad Wardell: "It was awesome being able to work with the fans to integrate years of their own mods and tweaks into the base game. They also gave me a long list of areas where they thought I could improve the AI, which I used to dig into the now 10 year old AI source code base to implement." We hope you enjoy the update. We have an awesome community here at Stardock and are so very happy that you’re a part of it. Have a great holiday season!
