    Hey, big apologies to all the people who were hanging on the edge of their seats all weekend and have been let down by no steam release yet!

    Reality of the matter is that steam integration isn’t done yet, the trailer isn’t quite finished, and there are a few big optimisations that need to be made before we can comfortably pull the game out of beta.

    As hopefully some consolation, here’s the video MM uploaded today about CTF and Challenges, so you have something to show your friends. We’re still here and working tirelessly on the game! It’s just taking a little longer than we anticipated.



    Current ‘realistic’ timeline is slated for next week - if it’s shorter then we’ll go ahead, but we don’t want to give false expectations (we never do! promise!).

    On the game: a new build will be out tomorrow fixing the tech bug in CTF, bringing some map balance to CTF (still not perfect though) and giving a little more omph to bomb arrows. It’ll also contain more optimisations and some tutorial tweaks. Most importantly, it’ll have 5 new hats!

    As I mentioned earlier we have waited some time for Steam integration now, so another week won't make any difference for us but for devs definitely it will.
    Plus here is the video mentioned in news for people who are to lazy to look for it at dev.kag2d.com:
    Would be nice if someone could just edit this news and add it there.

    Edited the video in, like a good sport. I've got to say that I miss playing KAG regularly, but greatly look forwards to an influx of new people.

    Steam integration? Does this mean kag will use steam friend list for something? acheivments? trading cards?!

    I haven't played KAG much lately but I'm super happy you guys are integrating. I was so bummed when geti said there was no plans for it but I guess that changed at some point

    He never said we wouldn't be integrating, just that we won't be integrating any of the fancy stuff.
    The main thing we need to get working is authentication - auto-login of steam users so they don't have to use the kag login form when they start the game.
