We posted an image, now a video. Underwater combat will be included in the third Arena of Math Combat Challenge. This is a working video with some features missed that we´ll include soon. There will mist too sometimes, to complicate things a little more for the player.

I like science, movies, beer, and a good talk about anything that concerns the human being.
Underwater in the Titan Arena
The third Arena of Math Combat Challenge, the Titan Arena, will be available when the player finishes the previous arenas, or when he or she wins three times the Stadium Arena. And this third Arena will have its own surprises. One of them will be the underwater combat. Well, not exactly underwater, because the lakes in Titan are not full of water, but hydrocarbons.
The lake Kraken in titan is as big as the Caspian Sea, and the player will have to go down to find some of the math operations needed to finish the Arena. And the oxygen will deplete quickly while submerged. There will be a way to get new oxygen of course, but we´ll talk about that the next day…
Finishing and making last touches to Titan Arena
The Titan Arena has some new surprises. One of them will be moving inside the Titan Lab, a place forsaken and forgotten. But not everything will be silent…
We hope to finish this level this week, and start final testing to inform about the release date very soon.
Beta testing and soon release date
Beta testing is going well, and soon we´ll inform about the release date. In the end, the third Arena will be included in the game. It´s been an effort but it was worth the work.
The third arena will be active when the player completes the Stadium Arena and the Asteroid Arena, and will have its own elements and surprises.
Working with the third Arena: Titan
We’re now working hard with the third arena: Titan. This arena will be available after defeating the Stadium Arena and the Asteroid Arena.
The Titan Arena has a new enemy: the cube dron. This cube will attack in groups, and will be considerably dangerous. For self defense the classical minigun is our best chance. We can see a cube is being destroyed by our minigun.
You’ll have to test against yourself with math and combat in the Titan Arena.
Titan, third arena in Math Combat Challenge
We´re now working hard on the third arena of the game: Titan. This arena will be accesible after winning the other arenas: the Stadium Arena and the Asteroid Arena. This one will have its own group of surprises, and will include the lake Kraken and a forgotten base. We hope to show the first video very soon.
Beware of the Math Night
The player will have to deal with some surprises while trying to solve the math problems. In addition to fight against many different enemies, and against the time in some arenas, he or she will also have to know what to do, and how, when, for example, lights go off in the area.
Fortunately the player is equipped with night vision glasses. But remember: someone can hack the glasses too…
Improved Space Combat AI
We´ve been working on an improved AI. Now the new algorithm creates new erratic movements to move away from our guns faster. You can use missiles but you’ll run out of them quickly, so using lasers and the minigun is imperative.
Remember you have the cloaking device, ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) and EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) too.
Owl drone and the minigun
We continue working with the beta, while we bring another image of the Stadium Arena. Here you can see the minigun and the drone owl. Both can be invoked when things get complicated, and both will act for a while before temporarily deactivating.
The minigun will attack some of the surface targets, but not all. The drone owl will in turn attack the enemy combat ships. They can be very important when you´re out of weapons or when you need to solve new math problems to avoid losing the game.
