Steam Marines to release by the end of 2014!

Hi, everyone.

Steam Marines is steaming toward full release within a month! Having been on Early Access for a little over a year now (since September 2013), development has been largely affected by players offering feedback and suggestions.

A brief overview of what has been added since hitting Steam:

• Linux build (yay!)

• Alien Deck and final Patriach boss.

• Weather/random event system.

• Game options to cater to more casual players.

• Level completion scoring report system.

• Brutal difficulty level.

• The Engineer marine class.

• Perks to further differentiate marines.

• Marine retraining to reclass and continue leveling stats and skills.

• Faster AI Delay settings for impatient players.

• Exposed internal data for modding.

• Steam Achievements and Trading Cards.

• New items, weapon ammo types, and alien enemies.

Steam Marines will be released soon, but not abandoned. I fully expect bugs to crop up and I will be here to squash them. The price will remain at $15 for the foreseeable future, and purchasing Steam Marines on non-Steam platforms will continue to provide Steam keys.

Thanks for helping Steam Marines become a real game!

P.S. Remember, there's a Beta Requests thread on the discussion forum!
