Hello Spearhead honorary members,
This is Simon speaking!
After 3 months of absence on a secret mysterious mission (that apparently took place all around the world - real and fictitious), I finally got back to the Spearhead HQ and I am ready to rock!
Honestly, I am really, really impressed by how the game has progressed in the last 3 months and I just LOVE the new art style and characters of the game :)

The next step will be a very important one: we are on the verge of really opening the game to everyone through Steam Early Access!
The Early Access launch will happen next Friday, on August 14th. It's coming up very soon!
We are getting ready for the big challenge we will soon be facing: getting the game to be known and played around the clock!
We are still figuring out the plan, but we can confirm it will involve the following topics:
- Organizing tournaments
- Figuring epic one-liners to describe our game
- Creating viral marketing material
- Harassing journalists
- Trying to make friends who have lots of friends
- Getting drunk (ok, this is not specific to the communication strategy, but it’ll help us to make new friends)
- And much more!
Help us out and spread the word about Project Cyber on Facebook, Twitter, Twitch.tv, at the water cooler, etc. Propose your marketing ideas to the Steam forum.

We can already announce that Project Cyber will be presented at PAX Prime (August 29th to September 1st) and that we will hold daily tournaments! This will be a chaotic, hardcore and also super fun experience for all involved!
If you're around, please come by and say hi. You'll find us at Booth #6016.
WE NEED YOU!
You are our very first core players and we will need your help for the coming push towards Early Access and afterwards! Join us on the daily Community Stream on Twitch (7PM Eastern) and invite your friends to watch as well.
Report any issues you see, which is as easy as pressing the Report Bug button in the pause menu on the Twitch build.
And as I mentioned before, if you have any ideas, contacts or advice on how to get the game better known, let us know on our Steam forum.
Cheers guys, see you on Twitch!
It's great to be back home. :-)
-Simon
