As Guns of Icarus Online approaches its release date in August, we would like to take a moment to show off our amazing Kickstarter rewards that were sent to our backers over the last month. In addition to supporting our game, they received some of the most impressive Kickstarter items ever, ranging from bullet shaped USB drives loaded with digital content to captain’s leather bound log books each with a unique sketch from and signed by one of our artists.
Jonathan Trussler writes: "Guns of Icarus Online: Alliance is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had, but it’s not for everyone. It’s not for lone wolf gamers who like it to go it alone - it’s fundamentally a game as much about building relationships as it is about fixing machinery."
Neocrisis - We had the pleasure of getting a few questions answered by Jess Haskins, one of the game designers, about Guns of Icarus. She is also Muse Games's community rep & story writer.
On October 31st, the online co-operative/competitive zeppelin fighting FPS game, Guns of Icarus Online turned 4 years old. The developer Muse Games have sustained their company over the last few years through a myriad of hardships from office fires, to “vicious publishers” but have managed to garner one of the most unique and fun games the TZR staff has had the opportunity to play.
Kickstarter makes so many things possible. It's really changing the face of how games get made and funded.
