1.8 Alpha 2 is ready: https://kronosaur.com/downloads/TranscendenceNext.zip If you're already got 1.8 Alpha 1, it should upgrade automatically. This release is mostly a bug fix and API release: Bug fixes: https://ministry.kronosaur.com/program.hexm?id=1&status=closed&tag=89 API 37: https://ministry....

Apologies! There was a power outage and the server was down for two hours.

It is up again and running.

I've made some progress in debugging this, but I'm not done yet. 1. There's still a chance this could be CloudFlare caching problems. The fact that anacreon2 works usually indicates that the direct connection is working better than CloudFlare. But it's also possible that this is a transient issue an...

I've been debugging this by trial and error, because I can't reproduce it on my end. There are lots of things I don't know, so I'm just adding debug code in various places and waiting to see if they yield any results. Some of my latest findings: 1. I don't know if this is a network/communications pr...

I wasnt having any issues today until now: ERROR: Cannot send message to address: Anacreon.command. That's a separate bug, which I've also been tracking. I think with this occurrence I have enough info to fix it. Meanwhile, I've restarted the Anacreon module, which fixed the issue. Thanks and sorry.

This Thursday (May 11th) I'm giving a talk at Ttech's Computer Science Society club, so I won't be around for Twitch.

But I'll be back online on Thursday May 18th at the regular time.

Just tried to load the game again, with the anacreon2 link, Firefox is just sitting there spinning... finally got purple game spinner on screen, still no game field though. EDIT: Other sites, including these forums, are loading fine. EDIT 2: Still getting the timeout error. EDIT 3: Been playing for...

... EDIT 5: Happened again, ordered the same fleet mentioned above to go to another planet and it didn't even get off the planet it came from before it froze trying to update and gave timeout error when I moved the field. I wont bother updating any more unless I see something different happening. S...

It was when I posted that comment, I haven't gotten into the game until now for today, will edit this post to update in a bit. EDIT: The game appears to be taking a long time to load. Even after the interface is loaded, the page is still 'loading' as Firefox has the spinning blue circle. This is no...

Connection issues have been for more than just a day. At the worst times, nearly 1/4 of minute ticks fail to update and lose connection.

Is this still going on? It seems to be working fine for me.

Here are images of two dockscreen minigames I made. Neurogue is a non-functional knockoff of Rogue and Lifehack is a working copy of Conway's Game of Life . Both were implemented through the heavy use of lists and structs. Did you know that (append list) creates a new copy of a list so that set@ an...

Would it be a horrible idea to tout Anacreon somewhere like the 4X subreddit? On one hand it would be nice to see more players, on the other hand it's a) beta software and b) running on a server that probably can't support a ton of concurrent users. I think it would be great! I wouldn't expect too ...

The first of the 1.8 series is here! This release has some of the new armor balance changes described here: https://ministry.kronosaur.com/record.hexm?id=70980 I would love some feedback on the new armor balance. I fully expect to make changes in the next version, so any balance feedback will be hel...

In previous versions, damage was adjusted based on armor resistance even if armor had 0 hp. . This meant that damage to internal compartments was always adjusted for armor resistance, even though the armor was gone. I've fixed this in the upcoming 1.8 Alpha 1, but it probably means that internal com...

Sorry for the cancellation, but I'll be back on the air the following week, May 4th. See you then!
