I'm testing out a new build and I made lots of changes related to online match management, so I'm hosting a play session on the beta branch tonight at 5 PM Eastern to make sure everything is stable. Probably will play until 6 or 7, unless something is completely broken and needs to be fixed.

Come join in!

Just scheduled a play session event - want to get lots of people on the beta version of 7.0 to help test it out. It has local multiplayer, but this session will be primarily to test out the online multiplayer functionality and make sure it still works as expected.

I picked the winners this afternoon and the results are:

Last Resort Lumber goes to Dreaming Moor
Light Bike Trail goes to James Bacon
Headphones goes to iyea070

Congrats to the winners! I'll transfer the headphones shortly, the other winners should contact Boncottled (http://steamoss.com/id/boncottled) to have the items traded to them.

Hopefully will be doing more giveaways in the future. And just FYI am in the middle of a huge content update to the game, make sure you are following the game's announcements (http://steamoss.com/app/270450/announcements/) or the game's main forums (http://steamoss.com/app/270450/discussions/) for details when it's available.

Boncottled has generously offered to give away a Last Resort Lumber and a Light Bike Trail to members of this group in celebration of it reaching 500 members! I'll also chip in a pair of rare Headphones to the pool. Each item will be awarded randomly to different players.

To enter, just 1) be a member of the group and 2) reply to this announcement before August 18, noon Eastern US time.

Only one entry per person will be counted : )

Will pick winners randomly from entries shortly after it closes. Good luck!

This Saturday at 4pm Eastern there will be a grudge match between Minestar and Scatterknife for ownership of a new competitive play group.

Each player will be recruiting a team to compete in a 3v3 elimination match. Whoever wins the match gets to run the new play group that will host weekly tournaments each Saturday.
