The update to Purge and Conquest passed Peer Review on the 2nd!  However, Microsoft's marketplace is currently not allowing new games OR updates to existing games to publish to the marketplace.  This issue is being looked into by Microsoft and hopefully will be resolved soon.  We apologize for the unexpected delay in fixing the Code 4 issue, but it truly is out of our hands now.  We thank you for your patience.

I'm VERY sorry to announce that we have found a crash bug in STRACO: Purge and Conquest.  The issue revolves around the pathfinding for the enemy AI in the underground base missions.   Basically, if you walk on certain areas of the map, the game will crash.  We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

However, we have good news!  The bug has been squashed, and an update is in the review queue now!  We estimate another few days to get all of the Peer Review passes, and then you can all go back to happily blowing everything up!

OK, it's been a while with no updates... but fear not! We are still working on the new version! Here is a little taste of what is in store: The new UI! We decided to do away with all of those raw numbers and give you an easy to read group of bars instead. We hope you like it!

Hurray for bars!
