What's new in Nexas Code 2D

Version 1.2.0 — 17 September 2026

Three new fleets to wear, a shop worth browsing, and a currency with a name

New5

• Three second looks to buy: the USSC for the Cordon, the Halvern Choir for the Graft, and The Scaffold for the Ingot Works. Every hull, world, troop and shot wears it.
• Each of the three flies differently and says so on its card: the USSC holds station in blocks and fires flat and fast, the Choir turns broadside over a world, the Scaffold holds the slowest orbit in the game.
• The Shop is one scrolling shelf — Skins, Insignia, Races, Doctrines, Ordnance, each its own section — with every tile wearing its own price.
• The currency has a name and a medal: a Commendation. Your balance sits in the top-right corner from now on, and pressing it opens the Shop.
• Right-clicking the board opens the game's own menu instead of the browser's.

Improved4

• Tapping a thing you cannot afford tells you exactly how short you are and how to earn the rest, instead of doing nothing.
• How rare a thing is now reads off its card at a glance — a ring, a wash and pips — with the word itself saved for the moment you buy.
• Buying something shows you the thing full size first, and takes two deliberate presses, so nothing is spent by a stray click.
• Cards stop being sliced through their own name on a landscape phone.

Balance2

• A second look for a whole fleet costs real play now instead of a single Commendation, and an insignia gated behind a high level costs far more to buy early. Every one of them still opens free the moment you reach its level.
• Invaders now share one world's ground capacity: alone you land on 70% of it, and every extra empire fighting there divides that share. A beachhead can no longer be won by dropping troops forever.

Fixed2

• Every Halvern Graft fortress turret was aiming ninety degrees away from what it was shooting.
• Half of a besieged world was invisible to its own ground targeting, so troops stood next to enemies they never engaged.

Version 1.1.0 — 16 September 2026

A sky over the galaxy, a siege that keeps up, and a coach for your first match

New5

• Every star now sits in a glowing dust cloud, and the sky behind the galaxy reads as a real nebula.
• A quick-start coach opens your first matches, points you at the nearest cheap world, and bows out once you have taken three.
• A world you do not hold now tells you what is stopping your troops: break its shield and armour before anything can land.
• One Shop sells every unlock, and Achievements and Match History moved into the corner beside your profile.
• Build rows say what each building actually does, on hover or on tap.

Improved8

• Single-player setup is five questions with sliders. Pick the table size and press START.
• A big empire thinking no longer stops the game for a fifth of a second, and dialogs open sooner.
• Ground troops walk at their own speed and landings arrive in waves sized to what is defending the world.
• CONTINUE shows a loading screen and warms the board, so you drop back into the match smoothly.
• The endgame's wake-up time and strength now follow the bot difficulty you picked.
• Build cards show a live progress sweep, with role colours that still read in colour-blind mode.
• Instructions now teach how to give orders, and work on a touch screen.
• Levelling no longer stops dead at 999, and cosmetic unlocks no longer hold back anything you play with.

Balance2

• A domination win now needs 80% of the galaxy instead of 50%.
• Taking a world is quicker: ground troops walk two thirds faster than they did, and every ground hit lands 35% harder.

Fixed12

• The map no longer stutters a minute into a match, and one bad frame no longer spoils the rest of the session.
• Ground battles keep pace with the fight in orbit instead of finishing minutes after you won it.
• Panels, tooltips and coach cards stop covering each other or falling off a small window.
• Ships you never shot at stop flashing red when you scroll past them.
• The Precursors wear the same violet everywhere — strongholds, flag, map and cards finally match.
• A blocked mine ring is clearly red again, and still pulses for colour-blind players.
• Rail guns: one press buys one level at one price, cancelling refunds it, and a queued level comes back.
• Quitting before the first autosave no longer loses CONTINUE.
• Quitting and continuing a match no longer pays out its rewards twice.
• Signed-in progress saves reliably instead of failing while you play.
• The board ignores hotkeys while a dialog owns the screen.
• Sound unlocks on your first tap and stops warning about autoplay.

Version 1.0.0 — 13 September 2026

First release

New4

• Nexas Code 2D launches: a browser 4X you can finish in one sitting, against up to 30 AI commanders.
• One continuous zoom from the galaxy map, into a star system, down to a real-time ground battle.
• Three races with their own weapon physics and their own Titan.
• Achievements, a match record, and a commander who levels up across matches.

Fixed1

• The interface resizes properly on smaller desktop windows, and empire names stop being cut off.
