Hello everyone,
Now that we’re past our teenage texting title we can get into the nitty gritty of this weeks update. We’ll have some finished balance notes coming out soon and into the game, but for now you can hear it and have all your questions answered first at 3 pm eastern at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus.
In massive news though. Guns of Icarus Alliance Pre-order is on Steam! This is a massive step and we’re really excited to be moving closer to a full release. As always if you send in your purchase information to feedback@musegames.com you can get early access to the prototype.
Follow the jump for what the team has been working on and our player of the week!
