Any interst in this game?

I LOVED watching Total Biscuit and Angry Joe as well as others duke it out in this game, but I’ve never tried it before.

The game is all about fighting with these air ships out of a steampunk novel. I believe 4 or 5 players work together, one navigates, the others repair the ship systems and man the guns. It’s all about team work!

The last TB match can be watched here:

You can get a 4 pack for $7.50 right now! So if you want to get in on this, speak up!

EDIT: The first POV of the battle is better since it’s not just about navigation.

I’m planning on picking up a four pack tonight, but I’ve already got three recipients in mind.

Still, we can play together.

3

Just picked it up, as did at least one other guy here in the office. Heck, can’t beat the price.

4

I bought it just now because of this thread. I watched the trailers and vids and it looks cool as hell. I have to do some dishes and some other chores, but I’ll be firing it up later this afternoon to check it out in person.

5

I bought a 4 pack, let me know if you want a copy I’ll gift it to you!

6

I’ve been thru the Engineer tutorials so far. I love a world where to fix things, you just hit them with tools over and over and over again!

7

I’ll take you up on that offer of a copy, Kinthalis.

Sent :wink:

Girlfriend and I played a couple matches last night. We both really like it. There’s a team deathmatch mode, so we could get at least 8 Dopers across two ships. Looking forward to playing with you all.

Thanks! Downloading now. Let me know if and when you need crew for your airship cap’n. I’ll gladly be your powder monkey. Fair warning: I’m now living in Manila, which is GMT+8 or 12-13 hours ahead of Eastern time. My hours are pretty flexible, so scheduling a common time shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

11

I’m really liking it. Should I make an SDMB clan? Right now it doesn’t feel like there’s enough Dopers interested in the game to warrant a clan…

12

I count five of us in this thread, which is more than enough to crew a ship. I say go ahead and make the clan.

13

six, but I do play in a European timezone

Me and three friends have been playing it for a month, I’m usually the pilot so there is a lot yelling over skype from the gunners to turn the blimp to right and left at the same time, and me yelling at the engineer to give priority to every part on the vessel.

Think we did 12 matches in all, so we are no experts, but it is a fun game

14

Not sure if you counted me or not (I am the aforementioned girlfriend), but that might make seven.

15

Done. Clan tag is SDMB. Apparently we need 5 members in 5 days, or the clan gets closed. Get to joinin’, folks!

16

Ok, I bought the game, and have played through a couple of the tutorials, but I can’t figure out how to find a specific clan. Do I really have to scroll through the 200+ page list of clans?

I’m lungofish on steam, and Bucket O’Gullet in GoI.

17

For some stupid-ass reason, I can’t send clan invites unless the player is online. You need to be online at the same time I am so I can invite you.

I don’t know how to search for the clan, either. Their online community thing is kind of poorly implemented.

So find me on steam (oft wears hats), and we can coordinate me adding you.

18

Yeah, I couldn’t search for clan names, either. The way I signed up was to search for a friend (e.g., “oft wears hats”) then go through their profile to join the clan.

19

Would any of you care if I joined? I haven’t started the tutorials yet but I do own the game. I’m looking at getting Skype as well.

20

Fine by me. Do what Terminus suggested. I saw his request on the clan page and was able to approve it. It seems to be the only way to add people without both of us being online simultaneously.
