Return Of The Waaaagh

OI GITS!

Hope you've had a good summer, we have been a little quiet since the last big update where we've been looking at your bugs, requests and how people have responded and reacted to crossplay.

Now our focus is on building a propa 'Kult of Speed' from you all - both in giving existing players reasons to come back and play whilst we simultaneously widen our marketing and try different things to get more people into the speedwaaagh!

Buildin' Da Kult

As mentioned, we've been looking into how to make it easier for you all to get games organised and get a good scrap, whilst bigger turns and ideas take time to get runnin' there's some early doors things we want to get spinning that won't take the long setup, such as :

Region Discord Roles :

We've seen requests for folks to voluntarily be able to tag themselves in specific regions / timezones so groups can mob up with a simple discord tag and get folks who have the krumping itch there and then (Looking at you OCE gits!) . This is something that we can setup and get rolling sharpish.

'Mob on Me' Nights :

Something that the team used to do fairly regularly that we wanna bring back - starting this Monday (time still being hashed out so keep an eye for Discord and social confirmation), whilst the bois are knee deep in all their dev bits across projects, we'll look at bringing in the hardcore evangelists, our own internal producers and leads, and simply fun creators that will be able to show the game off to wider audiences to all jump on at pre-communicated times and ensure you've got a range of experiences to play against.

Quick note though obviously there's WIDE range of timezones for folks, we'll be keeping it EU/US friendly to begin with as thats where we work and sleep around - but expand out if some superstars wanna take the charge in other regions!

Mek Workshop Competitions :

The creation tool is POWERFUL, and we want to celebrate what you make in it - give you incentives to jump on with your gits and mess around - and to spotlight and promote it wider.

We're going to start regular competitions where we challenge the community to create something based on a specific keyword, or theme. Then we'll dive in ourselves and play through what gets made, pick the ones that really shine (or are too silly not to spotlight).

Two of 'em will get chosen as winners and given prizes in the form of models, kits, other merch and immortality in the form of being shown to the world - as well as posted on the games main menu roulette wheel where we'll host them as part of our Mob on Me nights to bring the wider community into your creations.

We'll be showing you some tips and tricks videos too, as well as working with some of the most creative gits out there to take you through some build videos, and Q and A's on how to really get the most out the toolkit.

But for now, you get a headstart - go start building something based around the concept of 'AntiGravity' (it can mean WHATEVER your interpretation of that is - just full send to impress us)

Longer Tail

This is just the start of getting the Kult back up to speed for us, and whilst we won't quite go into full detail on the longer term ideas (some of which by necessity as they need greenlighting and sign off's from the powers that be above) - we promise we are seeing all your feedback, and are dedicated to getting as much dakka as possible from as many of you as possible. So sit tight, and keep telling us what you think!

Of course as much as we can market, there's nothing that QUITE sells a game to others quite like seeing other people playing and enjoying the game - so carry on playin', scrappin', creatin', krumpin' and telling all yer mates about it!

Which - coincidentally - the game is now on sale for like, a heretically low price, so spread the word (and tell the console gits about it with the crossplay too yeah)
