Hello everyone,

Happy valentines weekend! Make sure to take your significant other into the skies, it’s a perfect way to spend time, share experiences, and get them to call you “the captain.” If you’re not into the pink and frilly corporate holiday, hop in game and blow the happy couples out of the sky!

Before you either embrace or destroy Valentines day, join us at twitch.tv/gunsoficarus at 3 pm eastern for the Dev Fireside chat! We’ll be live with the founder and leader designer talking about all the things coming into Alliance mode including new guns, maps, and destructible terrain!

Follow the jump to see what we’re all working on, be reminded our new event, and see the player of the week!

George:

Baked some lightmaps, fixed some sounds bugs, and added new theme music.

Howard:

New main theme tracks – string and pizzicato ver. – and sheet music now available on Guns of Icarus Steam store page!

If you own the Collector’s Edition, you’ll have these automatically unlocked in your soundtrack folder. If you don’t currently own CE, you can upgrade to it now on the store page as well.

Enjoy!

Alex:

Fixing lots of last-minute things for MAGfest, particularly Assault base weakpoints, making builds, and trying to improve plane performance.

Michael:

Fixes for MAGFest, namely for the end match UI and the stats displayed there. Also, a rather new UI panel that tracks COOP objectives. As an objective is completed, a tab slides in from the right-hand part of the screen to update players on what’s going on. This will eventually replace the objective UI when the in-match menu is accessed.

Tom:

Bug fixes and Build testing.

Eric:

Messing with balance. Nothing is sacred.

Matthew:

Investigating new CA applicants and devising a new media strategy.

Do not forget we’re running an event asking for covers of the new live Guns of Icarus Music. Find the full information here!

“Really nice and funn,y very positive”

“This player is such a good leader, he leads with a fist of golden hearts. Not in the way that you think, he legit takes the hearts of his enemies, paints them gold, and makes gauntlets out of them.”

“Great Captain, Great Sportsmanship.”
