We need to take over AirBucs

[Keon]

1: It has almost no players and we need to show it some love
2: There's a free version
3: We need to show the people that play it what the might of Icarus can do.

[Piemanlives]

Question do we go for the free version or the new version on steam? Because at the moment I really don't have access to digital funds.

[Imagine]

I'm gonna go with... no.

[Surette]

Or I could spend that time playing more Guns of Icarus.   

[Keon]

Twas a joke. I tried it, there's nobody online, ever. kinda sad though.

I always had this idea of everyone filling up a team and shouting "boarding is heresy" or the like 

[Lord Dick Tim]

Oo.. Looked at their steam community Hub, sad day for those developers to have the game they put all their efforts into dry up like that.

[Andrej Peribosky]

Sad indeed.
I would be sad and angry if this happens to icarus. (It happens to every game actually... i just hope, not too soon)
I wonder if they gave refunds or what, since it became an unplayable game.

Looking at the charts... Those stats are even worse than I expected.

AirBucs:

0 people playing an hour ago
1 today's peak
161 all-time peak

GoIO:

134 people playing an hour ago
226 today's peak
2009 all-time peak

I own AirBucs through an indie bundle, and I've always wanted to try it. However, noone is ever in game. If anyone seriously wants to give it a go sometime, I'm actually down. Let me know.

I watched some lets plays of it. It looked like a watered down Guns of Icarus with sloppy ship models and less focus on teamwork. However it was a lets play and it is entirely possible the player recording it did not grasp the nuance of the game.

damn I didn't think it was that bad. I'd probably have bought it if it was atleast some people on, just to have some fun random boarding parties

[Skrimskraw]

I actually originally wanted to buy airbucs, but then saw goio on sale.

I'm glad it was goio

[Andrej Peribosky]

Same thing here.
I first saw AirBucs and i LOVED the idea of airship combat, being a fan. I wasn't really sure about ship models, and the weapons seemed quite limited, though. I still was about to buy it.
But then, i saw REAL steampunk ships and guns in GoiO and bought this instead.
