Heya everyone, quick update this week, and a happier one at that. My most popular posts to date have been my Guns of Icarus Online
guides, and in light of that, I thoughts I'd share something with
you:
Guns of Icarus Online has
started a fresh Kickstarter campaign for an Adventure Mode!
Guns of Icarus Online started
life when Muse Games dragged their IP away from their previous
publisher and instead went to Kickstater to to crowd source their
game rather than rely on finicky publishers – and let's face it,
some of them can be real assholes. It was successfully funded, duh,
unless many of us are sharing a particularly specific shared
hallucination. However, the team behind it had bigger and better
ideas then the Skirmish mode is currently is now, and are intending
to release an Adventure Mode.

It'll come with a persistent online
world, with PvE and quest based missions. From the teasers they've
released thus far, it seems that we'll see a range of enemies, from
hordes of solo-piloted steampunk aeroplanes and gigantic boss blimps.
The art style has always fascinated me with this game, and I look
forward to finally getting some context on the political factions and
fashions of this world.
I missed the first Kickstarter
campaign, which is a great pity, because of this:

Look at it. That's the Dust Rider
costume, and it's beautiful, and a Kickstarter exclusive award for
first time backers. I have a fixation on practical armour. There's
nothing that'll get me more annoyed and turned off than a flimsy
piece or flesh-revealing costume, which is possibly why I have a love
/ hate relationship with comics. With this piece, I love no only how
good it looks, but how warm it looks – the wind chill on
these zeppelins has got to be fierce. So imagine my joy when I
discovered that not only will some reward tiers come with this, but
they're releasing a new version as well...

And finally I'll have my pilot looking
the way I want to. Fine. A large part of my desire to pledge was
motivated by a purely aesthetic item, but to hell with you! I'll also
be getting a poster. My affections are apparently cheaply brought.
If you've found Guns of Icarus
Online great so far, or any of the these gorgeous pictures appealing, please give their Kickstarter a look.
I've already pledged, which was done through Amazon giving a good
measure of security. It is worth mentioning that this did weird out
my bank some, and I got a call from their fraud department wondering
what on earth I was up to this time, as it looked so odd to them –
they got nervous about a pledge of American dollars on my British
sterling account. Nice to see that they're actually paying attention, but it is worth a note.
At the time of writing, it has 50 days
to go and is already over $42,000 of $100,000 target goal, so it
looks like at the current rate of pledges that it will get
successfully funded, so if you are afraid you don't want to put your
hopes on something that won't see the light of day that should settle
you some. Don't forget, Muse Games has successfully done this before
and provided, and have some nice reach goals set.
Mmm... at $900K, it'll have crafting,
and I'll never escape. And hey, get to 10 million dollars, they may
actually entertain the idea of boarding for more then twenty seconds!

By the way, as much as I hate the idea
of moving traffic away from my site, if you would like some slightly
better proofread, constructed and updated guides to Guns Of Icarus
Online I have my guides available on Steam, here.
I'm Commodore Karkon, so that's my guides.
But please come back often.
Please.
Let my numbers go up. It's important.
