'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmaaaaas; and Saaaaaanta's flying in spaaaace!'
Sorry kids, Rudolf and kin were replaced by booster rockets! Yeah!

"What is he going on about?"
Well, we decided to have a little fun this season. If you have purchased the pre-order, go update your game and enjoy our Christmas-themed release!
...I'll do ya'll a favor and forgo any awkward "missile"-toe jokes.

Also, a new payment method has been integrated into the Miner Wars Store! Little elves would hate this news though, 'cause they prefer GREEEN. Fiiine, enough with the Christmas humor.

UPDATE SUMMARY

• Release: Miner Wars: Christmas Edition!
• New Payment Method
• Yay!: Silliness
• Reminders:
• Public meetings with members of the team on saturdays
• Catchphrase feedback/ideas
• Vote for Miner Wars 2081 on indiedb!
• Store: 70% discount

RELEASE

We offer a challenge for players who have pre-ordered the game to find as much Christmas-y stuff in the new engine release as possible. Rumor has it there's 8 things different! *winkwinknudgenudgesaynomore!*

What do you get if you notice all the changes? Mrs. Claus will personally come to your house and cook you a fine goose!

...Couldn't resist.

NEW PAYMENT METHOD

Tatrabanka CardPay works through direct credit card payment; no need to register with third party sites, just enter your credit card data, and go!

YAY!

And now for some gratuitously horrific x-mas humor:

Why does Santa always go down the chimney?
Because it soots him!

What's red & white, and red & white, and red & white?
Santa rolling down a hill!


And, for the grand finale:


What goes oh, oh, oh?
A prostitute!?
No...! Santa Claus walking backwards!

*hysterical, giddy clapping*

It's ok, after that my brain is bleeding too...yup, red and green blood.
