It’s time for another monthly update on Grey Goo’s current trajectory, but first, a hearty welcome to both new and returning faces who made their way into the game over the weekend. Whether you came back to check out the host of new features we recently added or you discovered us via the Steam Summer Sale, we’re glad you’re here.
Let’s get started.

Internally at Grey Box and Petroglyph, we’re investigating the logistics of running a variety of competitive events including tournaments. Unfortunately, there are a large number of “red tape” hurdles to clear before we can run any of these events, but we hope to have them cleared up in time to start things up this summer.
Running events for players of varying skill levels is important to us, so if the first event is catered toward the high end player do not lose hope. We’re going to get as many people involved as possible.
Expect to hear more as soon as we can provide concrete details. In the mean time, start practicing!

You may have noticed that some of the maps from Map Pack 1 made it into the ranked rotation. We hope you enjoy them! We’ll continue monitoring your gameplay feedback on these maps very closely to ensure they’re a good fit for ranked play.
In addition to the above, new assets made their way into the terrain editor with this latest update. We have four more ranked MP maps coming that leverage those assets. While we finish testing them, feel free to start adding creations of your own to the Steam Workshop.
We’re hoping to have the ranked multiplayer maps ready for release in late July. We’ll keep you posted as they near completion.
And with that I leave you to your practicing and map creation. As always, if you have any questions or feedback please leave them below and we’ll do our best to get to them in a future letter.
Discuss this letter in the official forums!
Enjoy!
