Hey everyone!
We were completely blown away with all the support we received during and after the event. These last couple of days the team has been completely at a loss of words and we've been so thankful to be a part of the event. It means the world to us, we're so thankful for the opportunity to be shown at the OTK event, and thank you to everyone who voted for us!
To those who didn't make it to the event but would have liked to see our portion, here's a mashup video:

We’ve been selected to take part in the OTK Games Expo!
So we’ve got a couple of interesting updates for you folks over the next few days.
Firstly and before you get your hopes up, we’ve been working extremely hard to get our initial raid mode all finalized, however it's not quite ready yet. Feature wise we’re very close but we want to try to polish and squash as many bugs as possible first. We’ll be putting out a detailed update on our plans for this process in the next few weeks.
What I am super excited to announce is that we’ve been selected to take part in the OTK Games Expo. For those who don't know this is a new indie game expo hosted on Streamer Asmongold’s channel, joined by several other popular streamers.
Apparently hundreds of games applied, and we’ve been selected as one of the 30 picks.
As such we’ve got a brand new trailer to look forward to. Likewise our CEO Delta will be doing a Live Interview on stream.
We really hope you’ll like the trailer and interview but we also need to ask a favor of you kind folks. The Expo has a $50,000 USD prize selected by votes in chat. Its on june 8th at 11 am PT • 1pm CT • 2pm ET. If you'd like to see updates their twitter is https://twitter.com/OTKGamesExpo.
If you’re able to attend on http://twitch.tv/Asmongold and help represent Renown, we’d be hugely grateful.
Ultimately we’re very proud that we’ve been selected at all (which you've already helped us with greatly), and hopefully this is a great opportunity for some new folks to see the game regardless. That said if we can win, it’ll be a huge booster to the team right now.
We’ll be posting our next big piece of news on the same day so stay tuned.
Again thank you so much to our awesome community.
Till next time.

Hello everyone!
As always id like to express our teams thanks and gratitude to our amazing supporters and community here on discord. Likewise a big shout out to the moderation team here as always.
Firstly on behalf of the team I'd like to apologize that its been a good while since our last update. While we’ve still kept working hard, basically everyone on the team has gotten sick in waves over the last month and a bit. That said we’re pretty much all back to fighting strength, and we’ve still kept up regular meetings, and work, while still getting in some good rest and recovery in.
On that note, I'm happy to announce we’re very close to our next Combat Hotfix. Our testers having been giving us some amazing feedback, and provided some great bug reports with replication videos/data. Id just like to say thank you again for anyone who's keen actively assisting in this process. We’re just waiting to do some final internal testing then we’ll be pushing it live. Mr.Z will be putting out a full patch notes for our Testers to see whats specifically changed.
