Hello, strategists! ːuseː
Lambda Wars has been presented at two events so far. One was called "White Nights" and the other one was "VK fest" (fest for "festival"), a huge event held in St. Petersburg, Russia. St. Petersburg being the utmost sunny city in the world (actually it's quite the opposite, but whatever).
More than 80 000 visitors attended the festival and more than 1.500.000 viewers watching the festival online. That's quite the big number.
This doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a lot more players seen in the game - most of the visitors didn't come there specifically for videogames. There were many areas or sections to see: YouTubers, TV stars, concerts (lots of concerts), Food, sports, music, places of attraction, bloggers, etc. with videogames being one of them.
But.
This does certainly mean that LW is moving in the right direction.
Huge thanks to GameBeets for making all this possible!
Lambda Wars VKfest Tournament
Lambda Wars has finally seen its very first tournament in my pressence.
That's me standing with a mic. Since I decided to reveal myself in a way, I updated my Steam Avatar made by one of our devs, Carbongo. But that's not important for you, readers, I know. Was just pointing that out.
The Champion :)
Winners of 2nd and 3rd places :)

Unfortunately our router was crap and even LAN connection could not be stabilized. This brought us to hosting single-player Overrun games, where the winner was the one who survived longest.
By the way, the Top-3 won Lambda Wars themed T-Shirts!
(damn were they expensive to make though... I need donations for all that stuff ːsteamsadːːsquirtmehː)
It was all worth it.
(
Also please keep in mind that these T-shirts were not sold, but simply won at the tournament. What I'm trying to say is we were not allowed to sell anything at the festival. Besides, we won't be doing any merch since all the characters plus lambda logo is all Valve's intellectual property. Just to clarify.)
Lambda Wars was in the section of "INDIE" games. Sadly, our INDIE tent didn't get as many visitors as our neighbours, especially the one hosting Dota 2 tournaments. Oh well. Hopefully some bloggers and streamers did have a peek though :).

About The Loading Screens Contest...
Sorry for the huge delay, but I must announce that this stuff has to be further looked into, because this does also involve programming (which I'm not really good at).
If you're not exactly aware what I'm talking about, please view this topic:

There are still photos to come. But at this moment they are unavailable. So if you're interested, stay tuned!
That's all.
Thanks for reading :)

P.S: I also released a few small patches. Nothing related to balance, mostly bugfixes and stuff.
