AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Metal Thunder is made by a solo developer, and AI tools are part of how one person can build and compete at this scale. AI was used for some store page assets and for select in-game art in supporting roles, never as the focal point. Nothing was dropped in as-is. Every asset was directed, edited, designed and placed with human intent.

Hotfix v0.9.805 (opens in new tab)
Hey Commanders, Quick SITREP: another day, another batch of bugs blasted. Here's what got fixed: - Units taking turns to move when the map gets crowded.
