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!”
The dev app is now testing the next skirmish patch 1.4.4. Join us on Saturday at 1 pm eastern as we make sure we didn’t break anything and get to see the new content first.
For those that have access to Alliance, you’ll also find a lot of minor changes based on feedback and one major one. There will now be less, but tougher enemies. We definitely want players to try it out and let us know what they think.
We’ll see everyone in the skies and on the stream today at 3 pm eastern at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus
Here’s a link to everyone streaming Alliance! We’ll be updating this all day, but come check out Alliance mode and some awesome Streamers who are going to be playing all day.
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.
We’re super excited for the second season of the TimmyB Tournament. As always this is more than a simply test of skill. You and your opponents will be forced into exciting builds and different styles of play.
This is it folks! The moment you’ve been waiting for is coming. After two years of hard work, we’re ready to unveil Guns of Icarus: Alliance, the PvE version of Guns of Icarus to our Kickstarter backers for early prototype testing. Not a backer? Don’t worry! You can pre-order and get access in the second round of testing on the Humble store:
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. http://store.steampowered.com/recommended/recommendgame/209080
Please send that link to friends and clan members as well. The more reviews we get the more players we can get for you to fight with and against!
