Hey everybody! We’re doing a drive to reach 10,000 Facebook Likes and 2,000 Steam recommendations. We’d love your support in sharing Guns of Icarus with your friends and letting everyone know what you like about Guns of Icarus on Steam, and we’re not above bribing you!
Every time we hit a 1,000 Like milestone on Facebook we’ll give out a free costume to 10 random players, and every time we hit a 100 recommendation milestone on Steam we’ll give out 10 goggles or hair.
We’re really close to 7,000 Likes and that means we’re really close to giving out 10 costumes to our players. Currently we’re at 1,113 Steam recommendations so if we get 87 more we’ll give out 10 goggles and hair.
When we hit our goal of 10,000 likes, one lucky person who has Liked our page since we started this event will receive 8 copies of the game to share with friends so they can be an admiral of their own fleet! If you’ve already Liked our page, invite your friends to Like Guns of Icarus Online and they might win a copy to share with you!
Season 4 starts Monday the fourteenth. Before I talk about the fabulous prizes we’ll be offering for the gallant hunters and their criminal counterparts, a shout out to the victors of season 3.
Rex Hamilton and Pinkamena Diane Pie tied for top bounty hunter with 70 points each and Captain Roy was the most dangerous bounty with 52 wins. There were over 45 bounties claimed and over 200 times bounties defeated their hunters.
Season 4’s top bounty hunter will win their choice between the Male Top Hat and the Female Plumed Tricorn and the most dangerous bounty will win their choice of the female Bandit Mask or the male Gas Mask.

The sale is over and we’d like to thank everyone for supporting Guns of Icarus. Fun fact there are now 248 players sporting a top hat.
We also patched to squash a bug and fix the Lumberjack. There was a crash at start up bug that some players ran into that has been fixed.
To maintain the Hellhound Heavy Twin Carronade’s effective at destroying balloons at close range, we’ve implemented something called arming time that has been added to the Lumberjack. The Lumberjack will only deal its direct hit damage (shatter) if it hits something before its arming time is reached. Once arming time has been reached, it will deal both is direct hit and AoE (flechette) damages and thus deal massive damage to the balloon.
Math after the jump…
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:

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!
