Epic Airship to Airship Combat
We put a quick patch into the game today and here are the changes:
– Fix Control Point error where dead ships would continue to capture points
– Fix Canyons exploit (rock with no collider)
– Fix matches stuck on match list (this fixes the practice mode issue as well)
– Rank shown in running match prematch lobby
We’re close to finishing the balance for lumberjacks and that patch should be out in a couple days. So stay tuned!
Happy New Year, Frontiersmen and -women of the Skies! And what better way to start out the new year than to announce the winners of our GOI:O Screenshot Contest. We got lots of entries and these are the ones you voted for to receive first prize in their respective categories:

Season 2 has come to a close and we had over 35 bounties claimed and over 170 times bounties beat those hunting them.
Congratulations to Apex who was the most dangerous bounty with 22 wins on his bounty day as well as the top bounty hunter, Pinkamena Diane Pie, who claimed 100 points worth of bounties.
Next season starts this Monday, December 31st at 12:01 AM and ends January 6th at midnight. Be sure to check the bounty board to find out who you’re hunting to have a chance at winning the Corsair pilot’s costume.

Last Friday was our annual office holiday party, with the traditional Glühwein brewed in our old water kettle with mulled wine, spices, orange, and rum, a table piled high with cookies and snacks, and a rowdy and contentious poker game that lasts long into the night (just a normal Friday, then). But this year we also had a Thieving Secret Santa game! And a tree!
Hey, guys! Today is the last day to submit your entries for our Guns of Icarus Online Screenshot Contest for some awesome costumes and other avatar pieces.

We’d like to congratulate everyone who took part in season one of bounty hunting. We got to watch some great hunts and see players at their best. Hats off to RearAdmiralZill, Lord Dick Tim, CarnageJPN, and Morbie for escaping the bounty hunters.
The top three bounty hunters were CarnageJPN with 90 points, Memory with 115, and Squash taking home the free item with 120.
Season two is starting on the 17th and a lot of players had some great input in what they’d like to see and we’ve taken that to heart. Every day at midnight PST we’ll post the names of six or seven players on the bounty board.
Any player can take a screenshot of them defeating a bounty in a round, email it to Bounty@musegames.com, and get 10 points. Every player can claim each bounty once. The person with the highest score can choose any non-holiday item in the store.
As for the bounties, the player who scores the most wins on their day of being a bounty becomes the “most dangerous bounty” for the season and also gets their choice of item.
The bounty board can be found here.
If you’d like to sign up to be a bounty head next season be sure to sign up here.
