AE Is 1 Week Old - Celebrate With A Chance To Win A Key For Colony Survival!

First, thank you to the whole community for your feedback and ideas in making AE better and better!

We're off to a great start and I've had so much fun reading your reviews, discussing ideas and even watching some of the videos.

As a thank you, we've arranged a cross promotion with a really talented team of three friends behind Colony Survival. They started working on this game back in 2014, launched it in 2017 and still continue to develop it! It has a recent review rating of 93%. Colony Survival Steam Page.

This is an inspiring story of other passionate dev's who stick with their game to bring it to it's fullest potential. It's an honor for me to be able to run this promotion for the awesome community we've started in AE.

So here's how to be entered into the draw. I've pinned a thread in the Discussions sub-forum called 'Colony Survival Contest'. Submit your answers to the following three questions to qualify. Your name will be added to the hat and my 7 yr old girl will randomly pull out 10 names. The contest begins now and will run until 6pm EST Friday March 27th. Then the draw will take place and the winners will be announced 2 hours later at 8pm.

Three questions:

A) One new type of sentry/tech you would like the player to have?
B) One new tech/weapon you would like the enemy to have?
C) One other suggestion you'd like to see implemented?

Some ideas to get you started... ship can drop a nuke, artillery sentry, weather such as fog... etc. Please keep each answer to 1 sentence.

Optional Bonus Question:
I never decided a name for the service drone that 'helps' you. Choose a name and submit it. I will decide the winning name and the winner gets 1 key to Colony Survival!

Submit your answers in the Discussion sub-forum Colony Survival Contest found in the Discussions page, right side. Or just click here.

In the long run, I'd like to add Bonus Levels to the game that implement many of the suggestions I receive. I think this game has a lot of potential to grow.

So thanks again for all your help, patience and suggestions. Bug hunting is continuing quickly and this contest will help me decide what to focus on next!

If you're enjoying Artificial Extinction and haven't yet written a review, a positive review is the best way you can support the continuing growth of the game.

Thank You!
