Hi everyone,

There has been a lot of noise around Dark Future these last few days so I thought I'd do a quick overview on here for you all!

• Release date is now 16th May 2019
  
• We have a brand new trailer for the game on YouTube and on our Steam Page
  
• We held a Beta Weekend and we have some cool screenshots from the Community on our Artwork page

More updates soon!

• Feature Request implemented - INF squads and SHVYs can now group their attacks on Ogre treads.
  
• Darkened Rubble hexes in the Scenario Exporter.
  
• Fixed an issue where INF and Marines were being rammed in Overruns.
  
• Fixed an issue where users were unable to load Campaign or Skirmish games after using the Scenario Creator.
  
• Stacking Limit bug fixed - previously, if you clicked Cancel on the Stacking Limit warning, you could then Advance by ending your turn again, with all the units still in the overloaded stack.
  
• Added recent multiplayer testers to Credits under Special Thanks.
  
• Fixed a bug where the credits weren't showing up at all.

As always, do please let us know your thoughts and feedback. If you experience any issues, you can let me know on jake@aurochdigital.com

Thanks!

• Feature addition! - Scenario Export tool. This was suggested by user Onwaaard and means users can now export images of their scenarios at their chosen resolution, meaning users can theoretically print out their custom scenarios and make their own Ogre game boards!
  
• Fixed bug with non infantry and G.E.V. units being unable to use railroad bridges.
  
• Fixed bug where occasionally units on a hex containing a road/rail/bridge that were not on it, were still receiving the movement cost as if they were.
  
• Fixed bug where AI could attack twice with AP guns during the first turn of an overrun.
  
• Fixed a few bugs with scenario editor crashing on open and randomly freezing.

As always, if you encounter any issues or have any feedback, let me know on jake@aurochdigital.com and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. This is particularly pertinent with the new export tool, as it is still a work in progress. It would be great to hear back from you after some experimentation, as lots of you have different setups etc. :)

Thanks everyone!

We have a cache of awesome Ogre goodies, signed by Steve Jackson himself, to give away! First, we have a copy of Ogre Reinforcements for Ogre Sixth Edition, with an array of new units, rules and scenarios to play, as well as a signed copy of 40 Years of Ogre. This is an insert which contains a full copy of the map, units to cut out, full ruleset, as well as full instructions on how to run the Bad Timing scenario.

..."And what do I need to do to get my hands on this amazing swag?", we hear you ask.

All you need to do is submit your best Ogre screenshots to the Steam Community screenshot section.

There’s no particular rules or theme, it can be funny, an impressive victory, a futile battle, a creative use of the Scenario Creator... you’re free to submit what you like! We just want to see submissions that really scream ‘Ogre’.

To enter yourself in the competition, upload your screenshot to the Steam Community page for the game, then send an email to jake@aurochdigital.com with the subject line ‘Screenshot Competition’ and a link to your screenshot.
The competition closes on June 19th.

We’ve recently updated the game which addressed an issue with multiplayer games not loading correctly, a ramming issue, and some issues around terrain and movement. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the update, be sure to let us know your thoughts and leave a review if you haven’t yet!

Thanks, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
