    Gold Rush
    Gold Rush had it's first staff playtest during the Weekly Development Stream. We've cut it down to just the juicy bits, and added English captions and Dutch subtitles:


    MineZ
    MineZ 2
    • The builders have started filling in some empty spots in the cave networks

    Qubion Creative
    • Luxcio has been promoted to Builder!

    Wasted
    • Development work has started on Wasted. Bugs are getting fixed but we're not yet ready to roll out any changes

    If we told you we'd have to kill you
    • Lazertester and the rest of the staff playtested a game of Gold Rush! Watch it now!
    • A new internal team is gearing up to make the experience of one of our coming games extraordinary
    • An older game is getting a few eyeballs on it to improve the experience
    • Two more internal projects focused on having easy, fast fun with your friends around the world are in progress
    • Majicou continues his secret project for MineZ Classic
    • The build team continued their work on a top secret project

    The Network in General
    • The development team has continued work on Shotbow's upcoming new games
    • The PR Team continued their work across multiple social media sites, and wrote up The Weekly Arrow
    • The Graphics Team started work on a top secret project, so secret most of the staff don't even know it!
    • The PR Team updated the Shotbow Wallpaper Pack

    In Closing
    These are the roughest parts, when outwardly you can't see what we're doing. We have a LOT of focus going into various games. You've got builders working hard on both MineZ 1 and 2. You've got developers looking hard at the Arrow Arcade and at Wasted. You've got Lazertester fixing bugs whenever he can on top of the massive amount of Gold Rush work, and you've got several Shotbow internal games working on secret projects.

    Please be patient with us! While it's summer for a lot of you and you may have nothing but free time, we've still got dayjobs and we're coming home from them to make your gaming experience awesome. So give it some time while we work through everything, pretty it up, and do our best to make your gaming experience AWESOME.

    It is very nice that more people join Shotbow staff, but I firmly believe you forgot about recent CeleryWolff's (ex CeleryCat's) and 20thCenturyBoy's resignation. Shortly,

    fix pls

    Greetings. :wink:

    Both haven't resigned. Cel is taking a break and Jojo...the life seems to have turned in a bad way for him, but I am sure he will come back. I mean without him it's not the same.

    That was me doing that, if you look at the English subtitles, which I translated it from.... You'll understand not everything is that easy to translate to correct Dutch. :stuck_out_tongue: Also I've spotted a couple of typos of myself. :/

    I hope the Gold Rush map isn't too small or as straight forward as the one they tested with.

    Is Gold Rush confirmed to be only 1 team vs 1 team? Looks like a game that could have 4 teams like Annihilation.

    Gold Rush seems awesome. My only hope is that it doesn't pull a WIR

    Gold Rush looks like a decently complex concept banking on the success of the large scale team battles in Anni. I dig it.
