- Minotaur Heavy Cannon: New support heavy weapon that knocks back enemy ships! Use to help your friendly airships keeps enemy airships out of gun arc or to prevent rams. Has arming time, Primary Damage is piercing, Secondary AoE is shatter. Fires like a Carronade where each ‘buckshot’ causes knockback. Knockback is equally distributed across both Primary and Secondary damages. The farther from a ship’s center of mass you shoot, the more ‘spin’ you will add to that ship.
- Workshop support for voice commands
- Game Grumps RubberNinja Voice Packs in game store.
Ross has lent his amazing voice talent to record 2 sets of voice commands (varied by how much they stay on script :D) for us. They are available through the in game store. All proceeds from the sales of the voices will go to Child’s Play, Ross’s designated charity.
- New Workshop items (Only a subset of new Workshop items that people submitted are presently integrated into the game due to a 1-2 weeks delay in Steam’s creator revenue sharing feature. Once Steam’s feature is ready, we’ll be able to patch those items in, add them to our store, and start revenue sharing with item creators.)

- Capture Point Mechanic Redesign
With the new capture point design, capture and de-capturing are based now on superiority of ship numbers at the capture point. Once a team has more ships at the point than the enemy ship, the team can start capturing or de-capturing. Teams no longer have to wait to root out the enemy team completely. Also, each ship kills is now awarded 20pts toward the goal as well. With the change, capture point maps should be more fluid and dynamic.

Sorry everyone, we were removing some old log data in our server to free up some space, and it's taking longer than expected. The servers probably will need another hour to restart, and we plan to start before 8AM EST or 1PM UTC. Thank you for your patience!

With the Steam review system starting to grow it’s been obvious for a while that some of the highest rated reviews were more comedic than in-depth. While we loved our funny reviews it did feel like they were out of place, but now Steam has provided a special section just for the players in our game with an inkling for the funny.

We want to reward these comedy based players for their ability to make us (and hopefully others!) laugh. At the start of every month we’ll show off our favorites and the writers will get their choice of a game or a free in-game costume or ship set of their choice. So get your pens ready and let us know what you think of Guns of Icarus and put your comedy prowess to work!

If you have any question please email feedback@musegames.com.
