Total Victory Aircraft
The testers and I have been working on the computer opponent and balancing issues of the main scenario. Some units become modified over time for better play. Recently I went through all the aircraft in the game. I thought you all would be interested in what aircraft the major powers have.Aircraft were put into groups of similar aircraft. Some models are upgradable to newer models while others are stand alone models. For example a P-40 can be model upgraded to a P-47 but a IL-2 Sturmovik cannot. It is a unique model. Each model can have research levels applied to it improving performance. These would be considered variants within the model such as a Me-109e or Me-109g variant. All these models are currently included in the main scenario and default data.

Total Victory: Development Update
Launch date moved to February 1st, 2027I want to start by thanking everyone who has been following the development and playing the demo of Total Victory. Your enthusiasm for project keeps me going, even when the road gets a bit rockier than expected.Today, we are announcing a shift in our release schedule. While the core experience of Total Victory is coming together, we’ve encountered a series of minor game play bugs that disrupted the work on the computer opponent module.As an indie developer, my top priority is to deliver a fully functioning product. As those who have followed me these years, I value quality over profit. Because of this, I have made the decision to push our release window. We missed the ideal September slot for indie titles, and with the next optimal launch window opening in February 2027.Read full article on Community Announcements (Kraken Studios)AnnouncementsOfficial

Developer DIary #8
Dev Diary: Beta Testing, Wishlist Milestones, and the Road to ReleaseHello everyone!Development on Total Victory is moving along smoothly, and we are entering an exciting phase. Our beta testers are currently into a 4-player Play-By-Email (PBEM) game. I am pleased to report that they are encountering very few bugs. Instead, the main debates are centered around game balance and historical accuracy. One of our testers has already created a fantastic graphical mod that the entire group has adopted. The community's insight and dedication are having a tremendous impact on making the game the best it can be.Community Feedback & Feature RequestsI’ve also been closely monitoring the Steam forums, and the feedback has been phenomenal. You’ve brought some insightful ideas to the table, and I’ve already implemented several player suggestions that made immediate sense.More difficult feature requests, that require heavy coding, will be considered for post-release updates. With the launch window approaching, my absolute focus must remain on immediate polish and getting the game into your hands. I know how eager you all are to play, and keeping our scope locked is the best way to get the game across the finish line.Milestone: 10,000+ Wishlists!Thanks to our recent demo release and some fantastic streamer coverage, Total Victory has officially surpassed 10,000 wishlists!This is a massive milestone for an indie wargame. It significantly boosts our visibility within Steam's algorithms. A larger community at launch means a much deeper pool of PBEM opponents for everyone. Looking ahead, our participation in the upcoming Steam Next Fest should easily double that number and carry even more momentum into launch.The Frontiers of the AI (Computer Opponent)On the technical side, my primary focus has been on the Computer Opponent (CO) modules. Building a competent strategy CO is one of the most complex parts of development.Currently the CO is in a solid, playable state.
