Greetings everyone! Well things are sure getting exciting aren’t they? Let’s skip the pre-amble and get straight to the business.

WELCOME TO THE OFFICE, THIS IS…

The place where dreams are made. New photos of the office and a number of photos of our staff are here for your wandering eyes.
Now, we didn’t want to miss anyone, so we’ve photoshopped in our Community Manager, Audio Director, and Marketing Director, all of whom live in the United States.
See if you can spot which ones are photoshopped and which ones are genuinely from Le Europe!

PREFABS?!

Photos aren’t all we have to offer! We also have some new screens of in-game prefabs. Check them out below. And don't forget, you'll be able to make use of them in the Miner Wars Editor. Structures like this ship were made in very little time using in-game prefabs—so just imagine what you’ll be able to create!

THE UPDATE

August 30th, it’s coming.
There will be a new PR coming out soon which will list a bunch of the new changes. It will be glorious.

THE ROSA CHRONICLES

Don’t forget, Marek also has a personal blog which charts the progress of Miner Wars and gives his personal insights into the industry. The blog can be found at http://blog.marekrosa.org/, and is updated—unlike some particular games we know—every week.

REMINDERS

Keen Software House is taking suggestions and always interested in your feedback. Post Here: http://minerwars.com/Forum.aspx

DUDE - those prefab interior pictures look like something straight out of Descent 3! Heck, they could very well be at home in Descent 4 ;) .

I know I have been MIA for a bit, but I declare this, when the Magical Mystery Update does happen, we'll have quite the fanfare. And I'll contact all the party invitees. ;)

Totally agree. Descent, especially 3, are some of the best games ever. Can't wait to play with the prefabs.

Are each of those rooms I'm seeing an individual pre-fab or are they composed of multiple pre-fabs? I noticed that the tunnel is made of repeating ring pre-fabs. Either way, they look great!

This is what I've been waiting for, an update to make things 'more' intersting again (it kinda got on my own sad self, unable to do something decent).

Then again, I guess we'll be rolling in bugs, maybe make some forum button 'report bug' or so.

Not to advertise or whatever, just for example on the bug button:

http://forum.beta.tribalwars.net/project.php?projectid=1

This is what I mean, its a 'special' page on the main forum and then you get to that one.

Eagerly awaiting the next update, keep up the good work. Thank you!

It's pictures like this: MinerWars0120FullHD.jpg that make me glad I just bought a new computer. The game is looking really good guys; I am really looking forward to the August 30th deadline and the glorious mystical forces you guys will call upon that day. I know most people have been waiting for a long time on this update, but it looks like it will be worth the wait.

Anyway, who are those really tall floating heads in that office and how do they type?(I hope they are getting handy-cap pay) I didn't know Keen made a habit of hiring giant floating heads! I would like to suggest that you all market this in a PR campaign called, "Keen The Equal Opportunity Employer" with a possible slogan of, "We use our heads." However, what I would seriously like to see is someone labeling all the people (or at least a list of who is who). Your company has grown so much I can't remember all the employees anymore! They grow up so fast these days.

you need to get some posters in there, it looks so sterile and code workshop like. though the "open-ness" is quite good, but i bet nerf gun wars would be boring, no cubicles :( (though thats good)

I've seen half months go by with no forum posts. Lately it's every 15 seconds something gets updated. I wonder if everyone's excited.

5 Days. It's funny, I waited months just fine, but now that I have to wait a week, I'm getting all excited and impatient. I don't even care (much) what changes it makes, I'm just glad to see an update coming.

No pressure or anything. :P

Whaaaaa? So the 30th date was just for a few? Is this how the entire game is going to go? Some people get some features and the rest of us are in the cold?

It was for everyone who has bought the game. Everyone else wants to demo will get their chance tomorrow. I'm still waiting for the official announcement though.

Zev, that's not exactly true. I've bought the game, but I have only access to public build, not test build.

I understand that buying the game alone is not enough in order to have access to the test build. Or is it??

Yes, that's what I had understood.
The rules were clear, so no complaints about it.

Having said that, it's sad being a early-adopter (i.e pre-release purchaser) but not being a enoughly-early-adopter (i.e. even earlier purchaser)...
