v1.585 of GearStorm just released with new content, bug fixes, and performance enhancements. Also, tomorrow is our big early access release day on Steam, so tell all your friends to go buy a copy of GearStorm Early Access while it is still cheap!
We added new content to the Campaign allowing with cut scenes weaving the story together. More of this content will be produced to tell our story with immersive clarity. Of course, we added the ability for our Gamemasters to add cut scenes to their own stories as well, so make your own videos and show them in your own stories! There was also a lot of new functions and tools added to the quest editor to support our story and quest development community.
We also have been doing tons of testing on our Campaign story mode and all those bugs have been fixed so you can now play all the way through our main story line! Also, check out the numerous side quests and stories we have in the Campaign map.
Also leading up to our Steam Early Access Release, all of our testers have been doing double time and the developers are focused on eliminating all the bugs they find, so you will see a ton of bug fixing in the new release notes below.
We also added new content in the form of two new armor types and helmets!
