Unigine OilRush Game Receives More Enhancements

Posted by Michael Larabel on July 24, 2011

There's still no revised release plans from Unigine Corp on when they plan to officially release their OilRush cross-platform game (the last official update was this "summer" but acknowledged to me delays were likely), but they did put out a new beta version. OilRush v0.72 brings a number of new enhancements to better this inaugural title developed by the Russian company.

What's new in the OilRush v0.72 build is support for controls remapping, the multi-player mode is functional now with low bandwidth situations, engine crash fixes, improved statistics, added ambient sounds, more unit/combat sounds, sounds for active skills, new environmental objects, enlarged collision meshes for airplanes / helicopters / scooters, increased AI aggression level, and various other fixes.

The latest beta release of this real-time strategy game is mentioned in this forum posting. Linux / Windows / Mac OS X beta releases of OilRush are available to those who pre-order the game for just $20 USD.
