Steampunk Santa doesn’t bring coal, he brings a vicious armor piercing combo.
First and foremost, if you haven’t seen it, a massive update went out for the prototype of Alliance mode! Check it out, pre-purchase a copy on humble and join us in testing over the weekend!
Secondly, join us for the FINAL Dev Fireside chat of 2015. We’ll be coming back in 2016 with new production quality and an attempt at improving everything! To join us for the final one of the year go to twitch.tv/gunsoficarus at 3 pm eastern, 8 pm gmt.
While last Alliance prototype update was focused on improving balance, performance, and enemy behavior based on your feedback, this update is more focused on contents. We’ve been working on a number of things, and we’re excited to finally share some of them with you! We have quite a few things for you to play around with and test, and you’ll also see a work in progress first version of the world map and progression. As you’ll see, it’s not fully functional yet, but it’s for you to get a first glimpse of the direction we’re taking.
We’ll be hosting another group test session this Saturday, 12.19.15, at 1pm EST, and we’ll send another survey your way after the test session to collect feedback. In the meantime, if you have questions or issues with the update, you can also email us at feedback@musegames.com.
A quick snapshot of a base and the code that defines Guns of Icarus!

The skies of Icarus have always held a great multitude of strange beasts from Ducks to Spacemen, from Gentleman to those that ride storms, and every other conceivable creature you could think of.
There is none more elusive than the Novice, any player under 8. A creature rarely seen for an extended period of time either running from experienced ships or learning to blend in with their crews. A recent storm has pushed many into our skies though and National Discovery wants pictures of them, we want them tracked, and we want to see their habits in action. We will pay handsomely for these photo shots that we will screen (screenshots if you will.)
So professional and amatuer photographers gets ready to spot, track, and send in a bunch of pictures of this shy and sometimes violent beast.
Between November 18th till November 30th we will be running this contest and accepting screenshots. To play all you have to do is send in screenshots to feedback@musegames.com and list what category you’re entering.
The winner of each category will get an exclusive National Discovery badge and any muse-made item of their choice from the store.
Best Photo: Send us the screenshot that you most feels captures the essence of the Novice.
Novice Tracking: Take a screenshot of the same novice on 3 different maps. The winner will have “tracked” the most novices
Novice Preservation: Take a screenshot of a novice in your clan and online. Any clan member may take credit for the capture and the same capture can be credited to multiple people (of the same clan.) The winner will have sent in the most screenshots.
Novice in their Natural Habitat: Take a screenshot of novices on your ship. The player that sends in the most screenshots of different novices wins.
Welcome to the next Mayday Friday, where we talk about the community, the nicest players, the competitive players, and where you can get the latest information on Alliance mode. First up let me introduce our next event!
