Hello Everyone,
The holidays are coming up, but the office isn’t slowing down on work for Alliance mode. We have a massive update for the prototype in the works that we plan on releasing before the year is up. To get access pre-purchase a copy on Humble and send us an email at feedback@musegames.com
For the rest of the month, Guns of Icarus Online is also part of a humble bundle: the Yogscast 2015 Jingle Jam, support some awesome charities and get some amazing games!
We’ll be talking about the massive new update to the Alliance prototype on twitch.tv/gunsoficarus at 3 pm eastern. Join us, ask questions, and have a great time with us!
Remember to keep sending in pictures for the second season of the National Discovery event! New winners with new items will be announced on December 30th!
