Dear Miner Wars Fans,
This week we bring you fantastic updates. We are announcing a slight title change, MORE deals with on-line distributors, and as usual, awesome new engine functionality.
UPDATES
* New addition to the game's title: 2081
* New distributors: impulsedriven.com and yawma.net
* New engine updates: editor, weaponry
Game Title: We have a special announcement today regarding an addition to its game's title:
Miner Wars 2081: We felt the need to present our game more clearly as a science fiction title. We also have sequels planned so it's important for us to give this installment its own unique identity.
"Nearly a decade after the Solar Event, our problems have only mounted. Many of us in space have reached their breaking point. Limited food, scarce supplies, bitter feuds; a third of us have been diagnosed with some level of radiation poisoning due to prolonged subjection to solar flares. This is our legacy. The year 2081... may be our last."
New Distributors:
Recently we have made distribution deals with Stardock.com and GamersGate.com
Today we announce the additions of impulsedriven.com and yawma.net! All of these are independent and high traffic sites.
New Engine Features:
- Editor: increased functionality, true player to player map sharing
- Weaponry: New silent "Rifle" class weapon for your testing pleasure

So, Miner Wars is now called Miner Wars 2081. 70 years until space travel seems a little far-fetched but, eh.
Why isn't anyone paying attention to this? :saddowns:
