Hello World!
To celebrate 5 years on Steam, we're setting Rebel Wings free indefinitely! Yes that's right - free as in beer.

Rebel Wings is now free!
To celebrate 5 years on Steam, we're setting Rebel Wings free indefinitely! Yes that's right - free as in beer.
Have fun and godspeed!
Rebel Wings has gone GOLD!
These are a couple of things that we've been working on since the latest Early Access patch:
+ A new space map (no gravity!)
+ A new oil rig map (watch out for the water!)
+ Revamped and polished classic maps
+ Better UI - ingame settings, lobby etc.
+ Linux support
+ Numerous bug fixes and other features which would make this list too long
Thank you for all the support during Early Access, we hope to see you in the skies soon!
All the best from the entire Butlerstyle team

Get ready for release!
As we are polishing our gold master discs here at the office, we conclude that we are officially approaching the end of our Early Access campaign! Hooray!
The next patch, scheduled to release on the 8th of july includes many new features such as:
+ A new space map (no gravity!)
+ A new oil rig map (watch out for the water!)
+ Revamped and polished classic maps
+ Better UI - ingame settings, lobby etc.
+ Linux support
+ Numerous bug fixes and other features which would make this list too long
We feel that this is a perfect time to unshackle Rebel Wings from Early Access and let it fly free!
This does not mean that Rebel Wings will stop to evolve, but it will do so in a different way. We feel that leaving Early Access clarifies our intent with the game; what Rebel Wings has become and what we ever wanted it to be.
As we approach the finish line we would like to extend our gratitude to all testers, gamers, youtubers, press and other community members who have helped us making Rebel Wings even better by providing invaluable feedback and support! Without you we wouldn't have made it this far.
Thank you!
The full release of Rebel Wings will hit the store on the 8th of july (if you purchased previously, you'll get the update for free as usual).
As the retail release includes support for all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), we hope you'll convince your friends to paint the skies red and have a blast with us! That's all we ever wanted anyway.
Cheers!

Patch #3 - Bombastic
The new patch for Rebel Wings has just been released. We have managed to squeeze in a lot of smaller stuff as well as a couple of bigger things.
First off, r1sc has been hard at work creating a new airplane model - the Bomber! Sleek and stealthy it slices through the air spreading impending doom on its foes.

Secondly, the windswept desert landscape in "Dunes" has gotten some attention and we've added a couple of landmarks to liven it up.
Here's the patch notes:
Rebel Wings 0.9.5875
- New: The Bomber makes its first appearance in Rebel Wings!
- New: Polished the Dunes map.
- New: Added a setting to control the "Screen Shake" effect.
- New: Added a subtle button click sound in the menu.
- Fix: The chat window fades out gradually when not focused.
- Fix: The chat window is now properly cleared between games.
- Fix: Auto spawn doesn't take focus from chat input.
- Fix: Auto spawn checkbox focused only if using gamepad.
- Fix: Team balance in TDM works a bit better.
- Fix: The respawn timer now resets correctly on all players between rounds.
There are some known issues that we have found while testing the game:
- Volume sliders in the Settings menu stops working after you have played a game. Restart is required.
- The team assignment that you see in the lobby might not match the actual team that you're assigned to in-game.
We would like to thank everyone that participated in the "Play vs. Devs" session last week, it was a lot of fun and very interesting to hear your comments on the game. Hopefully we'll be able to plan a new session soon - keep your eyes peeled to the Announcement section!
Over and out...
