Hello Moonbreakers!
It's been an amazing week. It started off with the popular, effusive and miniatures-loving Bricky posting quite a video about Moonbreaker.
His enthusiasm is infectious and gave the team a big boost of energy. He called out so many things that we've worked super hard on, but weren't sure anyone noticed. Everything from some wild unit abilities, to our unique art style, to the audio dramas and to the build stability. It also gave us a huge boost of players.
All the new traffic led to a lot more reviews, and since the game has gotten so much better, the positive reviews have come flooding in. In fact, yesterday we hit that coveted Overwhelmingly Positive.
This all made us, and the community, very happy. This rating may or may not last, but we'll take it. Once you hit numbers like these, Steam will generally promote your game much more.
There are hundreds of players online right now, so it's much easier to get games, and get good matches. We cannot thank Bricky enough. We're hoping we're having our "Subnautica moment," where streamers start discovering and showing the game. Fingers crossed.
Community Updates
In response, the community has put together a tournament for this weekend. If by the time you read this, it has passed, you can bet the VODs are still there in our Discord. Look for all the details at the signup page, here.
We're not sitting on our laurels though - we've got too much to do. We've got our biggest update yet, coming this summer. We're adding Ranked Play, Roster Perks, a bunch of new Crew, a lore Codex and a new single-player mode.
Finally, our community paint gallery is exploding. Take a look and get inspired by all the incredible techniques people are using and results they're getting.
Looks like the beach may have to wait. But we couldn't be happier.
See you in The Reaches,
Charlie (Game Director)
