We're pleased to announce that the Steam Lunar Event for Guardians of Orion has achieved exactly what we strived for, and that was game awareness. The sales had increased exponentially, with the very first 12 hours of the event having sold more copies of the game compared to the first two months of sale.
As a result I am happy to announce that we are growing our Commitment List for Guardians of Orion with two new/added features:
1. Vehicular Combat (Spring 2016)
We hope to add many vehicles to the game, but for now we're committed to two. The TREK Hoverboard which will aid players in navigating the worlds at an increased rate, and look cool while doing so. The other vehicle is the Trek Tiger Mech which is equipped with a gatling turret and side mounted rockets. Both vehicles should prove worthy in turning the tide of any battle. We are expecting to begin vehicle inclusion as soon as Spring 2016.
2. Orbital Command (FPS) (Spring 2016)
We are going to be redoing the menu a bit in the upcoming future. Once you load the game you'll have two options, including CONNECT (Online Gameplay) and OFFLINE (Solo Gameplay). If you choose to CONNECT you'll be taking to an Orbital Command Center where you and (aiming for) up to 40 players can gather, socialize, manage inventories, look at available missions, check daily/weekly/monthly quests+rewards, purchase store/cosmetic items and more:
This will be a very small prototype and only the surface of what we believe we can achieve with these systems. We hope to grow them and we have another Steam event in the near future. We appreciate your support and with it we can do some pretty amazing things. Hope you're enjoying Guardians of Orion!
