PAX West Panel Discussion
The discussion took place on Sunday, September 3rd in the Cat Theater, during the PAX West 2017 convention. The panel was moderated by Bicycle Walrus of DM21 Gaming, a gaming channel on YouTube.
Casey McGeever, CEO of Heroic Games, presented slides showing the key features that Ship of Heroes feels are critical to its success:
McGeever also revealed the current planned schedule for testing and community, including:
2021 Summer Mission Beta Event
We’re showing off a massive boss fight in Showdown, the final mission of the Iris arc. The Iris mission arc is available to everyone who registers for the event. Donors are in the game now, playtesting the content to look for bugs, and non-donors will be allowed in on August 14th.
The Mission Event and Utility Powers
Signups for our upcoming mission Beta event will begin on July 31st! The event itself is scheduled for August 7th. More on that soon, but today, we want to update you on some aspects of powers in SoH that are important, and easy to overlook.
The Mission Event Begins in July
We’ve been working hard to set up another Ship of Heroes Beta event, and now the time is approaching. We have wanted to show off a full mission arc for some time, as well as some other missions. It did take longer to bugfix than we had hoped, but you can expect to try out these missions in late June or July. We are showing off the first Iris mission arc, which has several branching choices that can interact in complex ways – more on that in a future newsletter.
