Universal Combat: The Lyrius Conflict

Being the only game of its kind, the all encompassing Universal Combat game is in need of a makeover, and the sales of this DLC will hopefully make that happen.

Due to the massive scope of the game, we decided to improve on the game via DLC releases. This means more frequent updates in the months to come. For example, this first DLC, contains no new gameplay features. It focuses purely on bug fixes, tweaks, as well as UI, engine, art and visual improvements.

If successful, we plan future DLC which may include multiplayer (like the original 2004 game), new features, content etc.

• On-going bug fixes and improvements via the 3.x game kernel
