Welcome to all our new aeronauts and welcome back to our awesome returning vets!
It’s been a busy week with all the new players and I want to thank all the “newbies” for being awesome and for the vets for helping all the mallet-rebuilding, gatling-ballooning, novices. A special shout out to all of the players who signed up and are playing in the teaching tournament. It’s never too late to join in!
As always join us at 3 pm eastern at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus for the dev fireside chat where we talk about everything from youtube deals to industry standards and game development. We’ll also be taking your questions live so if there’s something you always wanted to know, hop in!
