Hi everyone,

Today the game is three years old!  Looking back, it’s hard to believe we made it this far.  3 years ago, when we launched the game during Hurricane Sandy, we weren’t even sure if we could make a few weeks.  To have you guys support us and help us get this far, we can’t tell you how grateful we are.   Continue reading “3rd Anniversary!”

Welcome the Apollo Precision Lens Array

The science may not be proven, but the destruction is!

Another week and new updates are in Alliance mode.  Paypal backers, Kickstarters, and Humble orders can now get their hands on the new Apollo Precision Lens Array. This destructive beam is cut through problems and opponents with equal measure.

Also being testing in there is the splinter cannon, it doesn’t have a dedicated art asset yet, but its stats and abilities are in and ready to have players hands all over it.

Every week in the Dev App, we hop in at 1 pm eastern on Saturday and test out all the new toys.

We’ll be talking about these new guns and more during the Dev Fireside Chat.  As always it starts at 3 pm eastern at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus. We’ll be answering questions, talking about the work in the office.

Alliance Prototype Tomorrow?!

Lava maps, big bosses, and plenty of things to destroy

EDIT: Timer does not work, timer doesn’t take timezones into consideration and gave the wrong time!

That’s right if you kickstarted or pre-ordered Co-Op mode, you’ll get hands on with the prototype!

We’re putting the finishing touches on everything and we’re super excited to show off the Pototype to all our amazing supporters.

We’re also doing a drive for reviews so if you haven’t given your thoughts on Guns of Icarus please follow this link and help us out. The power of a review is amazing to us Devs and we were specifically told by Valve at PAX it is a huge deciding power for them.
