Last week we officially launched Marooners and we're very happy with the results and support so far, thank you!
With the help of your feedback we've addressed the most important requests: You can now switch server regions to play with friends on a much faster connection. Furthermore various bugs have been fixed. Lastly we continue the free steam key offer, but have raised the unlock requirement to two hours for new players.
Changelog:
Added new server selections. Default is America (as before), but you can now manually switch to EU, Asia or Australia based servers under the multiplayer options
The free steam key now unlocks after 2 hour of gameplay, however, all existing users only need to play 1 hour (although the in-game text will still mention 2 hours)
Our biggest goal as developers, is for you to enjoy Marooners! And the best way to do that, is by inviting your best friend to join you!
How?
Simple, just play Marooners for 2 hours and for a pop-up with your free key will be available. But watch out, it's only available for a limited time window!
Have fun!
- Team Marooners
Edit: This has now been raised to two hours for players who bought the game after 23 september.
