Greetings, Commanders!Welcome to our third Dev Diary. Since our last update, the team working on Planetary Annihilation has nearly doubled in size! Our new contributors have already helped deliver Galactic-War Co-Op, new splash and main-menu artwork, and many of the bug fixes and optimisations in our recent hotfixes.This time, our Dev Diary will focus on new enhancements coming to map making and the System Designer, written by our very own WPMarshall. But let's start by reviewing what else is coming in the pipeline and how you can get involved, as there's a lot happening behind the scenes.What

Greetings Commanders,Alongside the recent Co-op work, we've been chipping away at a batch of long-standing bugs — and we're opening up four brand new engine mechanics for modders. Here's what's new: Bug Fixes Wreckage targeting — units no longer get stuck shooting at wreckage.Naval sinking — ships now sink gradually to the seafloor instead of snapping to it instantly. Transport status bars — all transports now display a status bar to indicate how full they are.Air transports — no longer endlessly chase a moving pickup target. Orbital transports — no longer hop up and down when picking up a mov

We've been hard at work addressing more of your feedback on Co-op Galactic War, along with a couple of long-standing bug fixes. Here's what's new: Co-op Galactic War:Persistent titles & passwords: Saves now remember the most recent lobby title and password. No more retyping the same details every time you boot up the same campaign! Fixed an issue where opening a campaign to Co-op for the first time with separate Tech enabled could wipe the host's inventory. Fixed a minor display bug where some Galactic War server beacons showed raw !LOC: text as part of the system name. Bug FixesResolved a com

Greetings Commanders! Thank you for the incredible response to the Galactic War Co-op launch. You jumped into the fight together in numbers we didn't expect, (and frankly struggled to handle!) and you sent us a mountain of feedback, logs, and bug reports along the way. This hotfix addresses some of the more urgent ones and brings some brand new QoL improvements to the multiplayer lobby experience plus a number of Co-op improvements. A quick note on UI lag: we're aware that some players have been running into UI lag, and we're actively looking into it. The causes can vary from system to system,

The multi-planet RTS game Planetary Annihilation: TITANS has been upgraded, adding co-op support to their fancy Galactic War mode. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/06/planetary-annihilation-titans-adds-galactic-war-co-op/

Greetings Commanders!This is a big one. Galactic War — the roguelike campaign at the heart of Titans — has been a single-player experience since day one. Today that changes. You can now take on the galaxy together, with up to 12 players* sharing a single campaign from the first landing to the final boss.This update has been a long time coming, and one the community has asked for again and again. Thank you for sticking with us and for keeping Galactic War alive all these years. We can't wait to see your Omega battleships tear across the stars.One galaxy, one teamUp to 12 players* in a single sh

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS has a fresh update out now, and it should hopefully fix the Native Linux version for a lot of players who had issues. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/06/planetary-annihilation-titans-gets-improved-linux-support/

When the community commanders took over the release cycle for PA, we lost support for Linux in the new community-supported build process. At that time, we asked for help from the community, and you delivered. Thank you to all who shared workarounds, logs, advice, and testing. Without that support, we would not have been able to make the progress we are sharing today.It took much longer than we wanted, but after several failed attempts, we have moved forward, and your mileage for running the game natively on Linux should be much improved. To be clear, we are still seeing cases of incompatibilit

Taking on stewardship of Planetary Annihilation's codebase has been one of the most rewarding things we've worked on. PA runs on a powerful custom engine, and getting properly fluent in it (while also bringing it in line with modern standards) is a big job that we're steadily chipping away at.Right now, our engineering effort is split across three areas:Production and release pipeline. Everything that takes us from a code change to a live update on Steam. We've got a solid handle on this now, and we're moving from "working" to "well-optimised."Bug fixes and dependency updates. Like most games,
