Moving Forward

Keep in mind that anyone who buys the game before the 30th of September, gets both Season 1 and the upcoming Season 2 for 35 USD!
While you wait
We will be opening "Community Missions" at the start of October.
These are missions that members from our own community have produced and voted for, and the first 3 are already being produced by their respective creators.
To those who have received the necessary amounts of votes for their submissions, but haven't heard from us yet: Don't Panic! We'll be releasing the Community Missions a few at a time, to ensure that our Agents can keep fit for the entire time up until Season 2 makes its way in - this means that you will be contacted once it's your turn to test the skill of your fellow Agents.
Steam Dev Update #004
Just in time for PAX Prime, we are excited to announce that all those who buy the game between now (Aug 26th) and the end of September will receive free access to Season 2, set to be released in late 2015.
[B]RETURN OF THE SANDBOX MISSION[/B]
Interested in crafting your own Black Watchmen Mission? We are also thrilled to announce the return of community Sandbox missions! The community missions will be released periodically between the end of Season 1 and the beta testing of Season 2. Start planning your missions now and submit it to the forums for vote. The top mission will be selected and publish within the game.
