Hey everyone!
This week instead of a progress report we’re going to bring you two awesome community events coming your way. Never fear though if you’d like to hear our week in development come join for the Dev Fireside chat held at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus starting at 3 pm Eastern. We’ll be talking about the amazing events coming up, all the work on Co-Op mode, and what you can expect to see in game coming very soon.
Follow the jump to see the great events starting now in Guns of Icarus!
With the Steam review system starting to grow it’s been obvious for a while that some of the highest rated reviews were more comedic than in-depth. While we loved our funny reviews it did feel like they were out of place, but now Steam has provided a special section just for the players in our game with an inkling for the funny.
We want to reward these comedy based players for their ability to make us (and hopefully others!) laugh. At the start of every month we’ll show off our favorites and the writers will get their choice of a game or a free in-game costume or ship set of their choice. So get your pens ready and let us know what you think of Guns of Icarus and put your comedy prowess to work!
Our second event is the “In the Industry” steam chat we’ll be holding every Thursday at 4:30 pm eastern right before the dev games. Every week we’ll have a different Dev talking about their side of game development and you can ask them anything from what their job is, how they got it, to anything that crosses your mind.
Hopefully this will give you a chance to see every part of behind the scenes with game design. We’ll kick off January 22nd with Matthew “Keyvias” Hartman, community director, for two reasons. I know many of you awesome players alright and I’m basically a guinea pig for the rest of the dev staff. At this link you can find our Steam Chat and there will be reminders throughout the week!
I’ll see everyone there!
