Cowbots and Aliens
First In-Game Competition Today! (Nov 16th @ 3:30pm PST)
Hope to see you there!
Please do leave a comment if there is a time of day that would generally suit you better to be involved in the future. ;)
Single Player Content and Scheduled Play Time
We are well aware that it's proving difficult to find people to play with sometimes in these early days of Early Access. Alas, Cowbots and Aliens did not go viral and amass a huge fan base right off the bat. With that said we really believe in the game's potential and will continue to put all our effort into improving upon it.
SO - here are some things we intend to do:
Single Player Content.
We are working on some content that will make Cowbots and Aliens more fun to hang out in solo. As players spend more time in game engaging with the single player content it will provide more opportunities for players to run into each other and get fun multiplayer games going as well.
Scheduled Play Sessions. We are going to start scheduling regular play sessions via http://vrlfg.net/. (Scroll to the bottom of the page to see scheduled play sessions.) Please add your own play session times and we will hope to be able to make it. Note that the time zone is GMT for the vrlfg.net scheduler.
Our first scheduled play session is tomorrow Wed, Nov 16th at 11:30pm GMT. (That's 3:30pm PST.) We will be giving out a free Steam Key for our other VR game Hoops VR for the winner of one of the matches. :D
Please comment and let us know if you like this idea or if you have any other thoughts on encouraging the growth and participation of Cowbots and Aliens player base.
Cowbots and Aliens Hotfix 1
We also made some visual tweaks to the carts and gold bricks in Gold Rush mode in effort to make the objective more clear.
We are loving iterating on this game and seeing user feedback. Lots of fixes and new content on it's way!

Release Delayed
The final Early Access build of Cowbots and Aliens is done and we're super excited to share it with you guys. We ran into a little snafoo though and are waiting on Valve to throw the switch on a couple things.
We will keep you updated and hopefully get it out to you ASAP!
