Launch Party Tonight!

Posted on

Watch live video from gunsoficarusonline on www.twitch.tv

The office has finally been cleaned up and squared away after the storm and you know what that means.  It’s time to wreck it again with an awesome launch party!

This party isn’t just a celebration of what we’ve been able to accomplish, but what we want to do looking forward.

We’ll be starting tonight at 7 p.m. EST.  We’ll be talking about the development of Guns, introduce the developers to you on the stream, answer some questions, have a few drinks, and if we have time playing a few games with the devs and the community ambassadors. You can follow our crazy party right here or on our official twitch.tv channel.

As if watching to see which of us devs are lightweights or who is wearing the best costume wasn’t enough, tune in to win some great items!

Closing GetSatisfaction

Posted on
Unfortunately, due to our funding we'll be unable to close the show with the likes of the magnificent Spice Girls (say what you want, what you really really want!) so this blog post will need to suffice.

We’re closing our GetSatisifaction bug reporting.  Please don’t post issues there and instead   email us direction at feedback@musegames.com.

Don’t forget to include your output_log.txt file that GoIO will generate each time you open and close the game.  To ensure the best results, send (or save in a separate location) your log files immediately after your crash or bug occurs.  The file is overwritten each time you open the game.

Your log file will be located in your Steam install directory under “steampapps\common\guns of icarus online\GunsOfIcarusOnline_Data“.

Another tip is if you have a way that reliably reproduces the bug (repro case), please walk us through your steps to reproduce said bug.  It will immediately help us in our bug squashing attempts.

Thanks!

About Boarding…

Am I doing this right?

All of our seasoned players from beta already understand this since they’ve had a lot of time to sit down, play the game, and let everything marinate in their brains. For our new players (welcome and thank you for your support!), I’m sure y’all are asking for a boarding feature 🙂

Sandy relief and weekly update

Posted on
Nightingale Cap
Dr. Scnnabel Mask

Hurricane Sandy hurt a lot of people and we tried our hardest to find a way to help those affected. We made two items over the weekend where all the proceeds will go help those suffering.  While we are still trying to regroup after Sandy, we ended up very lucky. Our office may still not have internet, but we still have our homes and our lives and we want to do everything we can to help those who weren’t so lucky. Howard volunteered at The Rockaways in New York which was hit very hard and we’re hoping the proceeds from the new item will help alleviate some of the suffering people are going through.

As we regroup from launch our main focus is lots of planning, organizing, prioritizing feature lists and optimizing to get ready for new content.

Free Halloween gifts!

Posted on

Happy Halloween everyone!  We wanted to celebrate by giving everyone a free mask so they can trick or treat while they fly and plunder.  The two masks are The Red Death for the guys and The Demoness for the ladies.

The Red Death

This mask grants the wearer a fearsome countenance, reminiscent of
that dread specter, the terror of which strikes deep the heart of
mortal man. On All Hallow’s Eve death walks among us, raining fire
from the skies.

The Demoness

She is a legend, invincible in combat. When captains who have run
afoul of her guns sit in smokey taverns and share their scars, some of
them swear she’s not quite human. They saw her laughing face as they
went down, they say, and she had horns, horns like a demon from hell.

It is very important to note that the free masks will not just appear in your inventory automatically. To get them simply go into the in-game shop, find them under goggles and “buy” them for $0.

Available for one week only! So claim your masks before November 7th!

Hail to the king, baby!

Little known fact, the character of Ash Williams was based off of Conrad

The release has been great despite Mother Nature’s best attempts to stop us.  Everyone at Muse is safe though a few of us are still trying to get our power and Internet back on.  We want to thank everyone for your patience during the launch’s server outrages, and we want to give a shoot-out to the community ambassadors who were able to get online from home to help keep everyone up to date.

Kickstarter Fulfilled

Posted on
Woohoo!

Just a quick announcement.  All of our Kickstarter backers should be receiving their retail keys and associated keys for other goodies in their email.  If you do not receive anything (please check your spam as well) in the next 24 hours please get in touch with us at feedback@musegames.com

Imminent Release + Frankenstorm

Posted on
FRANKENSTORM APPROACHES!

The release of Guns of Icarus Online is on the horizon!  The scheduled October 29th release is set to go.  Steam will be flipping the switch some time tomorrow.  It’s been one helluva ride!  We want to thank every single one of our beta players and supporters for their time, effort, enthusiasm, and support.  A small team like our would have never made it without you guys.  Thank you so much!

Another thing that’s happening on the 29th in Hurricane Sandy, aka FRANKENSTORM.  It’s hitting NYC at 3am.  The reason why I’m mentioning this is that while our servers and Steam release will not be affected, us in NYC will be.  There might be power outages and who knows what.  What we do know is that all of us will be in game with our Community Ambassadors (anyone with a funny colored name is serious business) supporting release while working from home.

However, if there are internet and power outages then we’ll have limited access to our various communication outlets.  Just want to get that out there.  Some of our CA’s will be in game to field your questions though.

That’s it!  Last few hours to pre-order the game for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

Servers down for several hours

If you don't know where this came from, ask someone older than you and watch the movie NOW.

We’re pushing a lot of stuff right now (RC) and doing crazy stuff to our servers so everything will be down for several hours.  Keep y’all up to date as we get the news.
