"Moonrise" Content Pack Announced
Today we announced our plans for the first content pack for Shattered Horizon. Containing four new levels set around the Moon, the "Moonrise" pack will double the number of levels in the game and will be free to all players.

Starting this week players who pre-ordered Shattered Horizon and selected beta testers will be invited to begin play-testing the new levels. We will be posting more details on how that is going to work in the next few days.

Guest Passes coming today
We have seen many people asking for a demo of Shattered Horizon. We have been working with Steam this week to organise the next best thing - Steam Guest Passes.

Later today all players will be given three Shattered Horizon guest passes to share with their friends. Each pass will allow a friend to play Shattered Horizon for three days. The time begins when your friend starts downloading the game.

You can find out more about Steam Guest Passes here:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8112-DFJL-4653

The passes will expire after 30 days so don't wait too long to give them out.

"Silent Running" feature trailer
http://store.steampowered.com/app/5500/

This feature video shows Shattered Horizon's "silent running" feature. No sound in space seems like a cool idea at first, but it’s actually very hard to play an FPS without any audio cues. Our solution was to give the player's space suit "audio simulation". The idea is that your suit recreates a soundscape based on sensor information of the surrounding environment. "Silent running" is a game feature that lets you power down your suit and disable the audio simulation to gain a stealth advantage while sacrificing radar, HUD and maneuverability.

Patch 1.0.1.2 rolling out
Includes an on-screen FPS counter and server auto-kick for team-killers. Full details here:
