Bageese’s Update (Contests, Monthly Events, Compensations, Steam)

So things have been a little quiet on my end for a little while, so I thought I’d give an update as to what’s going on behind the scenes.

Class Rebalance Contest

We have our finalized list of winners but we’re doing final checks to make sure there are no duplicates. I said in a thread that people with multiple accounts would only have one account for the contest, and our final step is confirming the individuals getting prizes are actually different people. Right now it looks like there are 15 testing badasses among you that received 10 or more points! These people will be announced next week once I chase Jey down to help me with the final checks. Winners will be contacted by me to discuss your custom skins.

Compensation for Team Experience: 

Since team EXP was rather broken for a month, we’re giving one month of double team exp. Unfortunately we require a micropatch (a scheduled server restart) for this and we were unable to start the event on the first of the month like I wanted. I am scheduling a Micropatch with Jey and the 31 days of double team EXP will start immediately following. I am expecting the Micropatch to be no later than Friday, May 9th.

Monthly Events

The monthly event for April kinda didn’t happen. Things have honestly been a little chaotic back here for the month of April between various team emergencies and people moving around doing jobs they’re not quite familiar with. April’s Monthly event will actually start today and last through Wednesday at 12:00 EST! May’s event will start on time.

Skinning Contest

In between the chaos, Jey has been working on the new skinning system for ships! We are going to be doing a contest for this skinning system. The details of that contest will be announced in a post following shortly after this one.

Steam Greenlight

We were one of the first 30 games on Steam Greenlight, but unfortunately never got much in the way of traction on that website. However, the folks at Steam have been Greenlighting 75 games to go onto Steam regularly every two to three weeks. We are now in the top 75, but there is no guarantee we’ll stay there! We need your help to get on Steam! Vote for us today!
