Queasy Games has released a new patch for their abstract action-strategy title Gate 88. The patch fixes many stability issues including a nasty bug that caused significant slowdowns in multiplayer games. It is available at the Gate 88 download site.
In addition to fixing the various stability issues, a small gameplay tweak was introduced which raises the starting resources for players. With the extra resources, players are now able to immediately execute a variety of opening strategies instead of always starting the game building factories. The result is a much tighter, and faster gameplay. Also, a new Colour Test Mode allows players to easily mod the colours of the game.
Earlier last month, a massive Gate 88 update was released, bringing a whole slew of refreshing graphical and gameplay enhancements to the game. Unfortunately, the update contained a critical bug which caused multiplayer games to eventually slow to a crawl. Although a temporary fix was released, it did not address many of the other issues covered in this release.
Gate 88 is an abstract space shooter that combines fast-paced action
with compelling strategy. PC Gamer UK states "Gate 88 is to Asteroids
what the Taj Mahal is to Lego. It's a top-down shooter with remarkable
depth, but it's not just shooting: there's territory to grab, factories
to deploy, fleets to build, and people to kill." Gate 88 takes its
inspiration from classics like Herzog Zwei, Star Control, Subspace,
Homeworld, and Parsec 47.
