Monthly Feedback Threads
Every month the Leads of our games will be posting Feedback/Update threads. These threads were designed as part of the 2016 Shotbow Roadmap, and their purpose is to make sure that the Leadership is aware of all major user-facing problems, as well as the direction that our community would like to see our games head in. While we won't be designing our games by committee anytime soon, keeping an ear close to the ground and an open mind should definitely improve our process and lead to better and more enjoyable games for everyone.
Below you'll find links to the feedback threads for all of our current playable games - each manned by someone responsible for hearing your feedback and getting it implemented. Please be sure to click through and participate in the discussion!

We are now accepting a new round of build applications! The approach of summer is now on our heels and the build team is becoming increasingly busy. We are expanding our horizons, we no longer just want good builders we're also looking for redstoners and people who are very good with command blocks. Both of these things makes up a quality server build team. We look forward to seeing all of your applications, and thank you for flying Shotbow. Link to application!
