Greetings Ark hunters!

We're bringing Defiance offline on Wednesday for maintenance and Windows updates (these updates are for the server hardware used for all version of the game).

Downtime will start at 10:00 AM PDT / 5:00 PM UTC on November 30, 2016.

This downtime should take about 2 hours, but we'll keep you updated if we come back before that, or need a bit more time.

Thanks!

Beta 11 is out! This adds the final features planned for 9.0, and so as soon as any bugs / balance issues are cured, version 9.0 will be live. :)

• Pirates and brigand nests!
  
• Some monsters now attack your cities, looting them more and more if you can't push back the attack.
  
• Small empires now merge into alliances, which should make the endgame more interesting.
  
• Better AI for short-ranged ships.
  
• Moved ship edit errors into own area for better visibility.
  
• Various graphical fixes.
  
• Destroyed Suspendium tanks now look better.

As usual, you can opt into the beta by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, choosing Properties, selecting the Betas tab, and selecting "Beta -" from the drop-down.

Our Steam page was down for maintenance. But we're back up and we've already got some crazy updates!

Yes, we're on Kickstarter. But not only that. We've been selected as a "Project We Love" on Kickstarter! You can get pre-alpha access to Voodoo immediately as a backer!

Tribesfolk, the time has come! You fought well in the arena. Now it's time to undertake a new journey. In its pre-alpha version, Voodoo opens the doors to the exploration of its blood lands, where your destiny will be fulfilled!

A lot of challenges are waiting for you in these next months of development. It will be an adventure that we will take on together, helping each other to make the game we always wanted!

The gears are in motion. You will be regularly updated on game progress and you will see it with your own eyes. You can comment and tell us how you think your experience could be better. We will be ready to listen to you.

Join our private Slack group for real-time chats!

We remind you that the version we are going to upload is a pre-alpha build and you will probably find errors and bugs. But no worries, with time and effort we will resolve everything until we deliver the best experience possible.

In this update you will find:

• Open world: Explore the jungle and the savannah while they're being made! You will have the chance to watch our game's environments being created under your very eyes!
  
  
• Combat system: Join your friends and challenge everyone you will find in the blood lands! Choose who to side with to explore these savage lands and who to challenge to a duel!
  
  
• Izimu: you will challenge the first Izimu in a simplified battle while new features are worked on. Will you challenge it alone searching for personal glory or will you work with other players to gain victory?

With 32 days to go, over 100 backers have brought us to 13% of our goal! Join the tribe! Our Kickstarter backers are entitled to a bunch of perks and special in-game items as well. Visit the Kickstarter campaign for Voodoo here.
