Weekly Progress Report 3/13/2015

And now for the effect of lightning on 4 unsuspecting human bodies.

We had a week vacation at the lovely Boston, Massachusetts for PAX East and it was a great chance to see a bunch of new players getting their first taste of Guns of Icarus and a bunch of vets who were excited to see Co-Op mode.

As always you can hear about PAX first hand from us at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus. Eric, Jacob, Matthew, and possibly Howard will recount their tales of PAX, what was learned, and what the next steps for CO-Op and putting it into all our players hands are!

To see what the team worked on, follow the jump! (more…)

A few things to bring up.”

-Please turn off your tool-tips in the options menu as it will clutter the screen.

Despite the objective to “disable” I can promise, from first hand experience, it can do much more than that.

One week till we get to show off Co-Op mode to not only the PAX crowd, but everyone who tunes in on March 6th at 3 pm. You can find it at twitch.com/gunsoficarus which will be hosting the Rob and Dan show.

We’ll be showing off Defense and Retrieve mode and we can’t wait to see everyone both at PAX and on the Stream!

See the team’s work after the jump! (more…)
