Update 1.2.0: Statistics and Leaderboards


Hello everyone! Update 1.2.0 has released and introduces a variety of exciting changes!

  • Statistics: The game now includes basic statistic tracking such as total battles fought and win rate. Your stats can be accessed via a new button in the main menu. Show off to your friends how good or dedicated you are!
  • Leaderboards: Your best battles and your lifetime score are now sent to online leaderboards with other players. See how you perform against the community! Note that you can opt-out of having your scores be sent to the leaderboards if you wish.
  • Slightly improved the AI.
  • When the host self-declares an end to the match, a winner is no longer declared; battles are marked as "abandoned" instead.
  • Made other small changes.

Please note that while your name and settings will automatically transfer to the new version, your game progress will not. If you want to carry your coins total and your unlocked tanks from a previous version over to the new version, you will need to copy the file "5a29f70b.txt" in the "SteelSkirmish_Data" folder from the old version into the respective folder in the new version. I apologize for this inconvenience.

In order to handle the online leaderboards, the Game Jolt API will be used. You do not need a Game Jolt account to submit scores. I have also added achievements (or "trophies" as they are called) to the Game Jolt version, as the API supports those. Unfortunately, itch.io does not have a similar API, and thus there are no achievements in the itch.io build. If you want access to the achievements, please check out the game on Game Jolt.

If anything breaks while playing, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Enjoy, and have fun!
