Today, May 16th, we've officially left early access behind and have released version 1.0 of Tabletop Gods! [img]https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33907518/8f66c3c1715f2ceac28baba1b8d342ea25267fbb.png[/img] [b]Launch Week![/b] Coming with the full release, we've got a couple of events lined up that perhaps some of you will be interested in. Starting today, Tabletop Gods will be free to play from May 16th to 19th! Head over to our store page and download it for free! You can play our free weekend until midnight on May 19th on Steam! Hop into the game and give it a whirl. We do have a Discord as well that makes it slightly easier for people to find a match during the quieter times of the day. We also talk about a lot of strategies, updates, future content, and other random things throughout the day. You can find that at discord.gg/tabletopgods [b]SALE![/b] Along with the launch of our official release, we're going on sale! For the first week of full release, Tabletop Gods will be 25% off for anyone who purchases on Steam, Viveport, or the Oculus Store! Going on from there, the fine folks over at Humble Bundle have given us a nice spot in their storefront where you can get two copies of the game for $29.99. That means you save 25% on both copies if you buy two! [b]Competition for Exclusive Content[/b] We’ve been talking about holding a tournament or contest in game for a long time and we have finally decided to do it! We’ll be using our weekly in-game leaderboard to give each player a chance at winning up to three unique masks, available to earn only during this limited time contest. Starting next Monday, May 20th, we will be holding a seven day contest where your position on our leaderboard could earn you a special prize. The following Sunday, May 26th, at midnight, when the weekly leaderboard rolls over for a new week, all players that end in the top 100 places on the leaderboard will all earn up to three unique masks to wear in game. The third place prize will be awarded to the top 100 players at the end of the week. They will receive this exclusive Witch Hat!

They’ll receive this exclusive Cogbot mask!

All you have to do is play Tabletop Gods against other players in public arenas. All points that you earn in public arenas are scored on our weekly leaderboard. Starting Monday, May 20th, all points earned will be counted on a fresh leaderboard. On the following Monday, May 27th, when the learboard has rolled over for a new week, all players that ended in the top 100 places on the leaderboard will instantly receive their prizes! [i]Who can compete?[/i] Anyone that is not a developer on our team that owns the game on either Steam, Viveport, or Oculus Home. All you need is to be able to play throughout the week of the contest. [i]Will you ever do this again?[/i] Absolutely! If this contest is met with enough positive feedback, we will definitely consider holding more, similar contests. [b]Weekly Meetups![/b] Each week we get together to live stream and compete against each other for the weekly title of MVP. The prize is bragging rights and a shiny gold title in our Discord server. This is only the beginning of what we hope to do. As our player count increases, we'd love to host more formal contests with prizes. Like we said before, the number of different strategies myself and the community have come up with over the last few months range from precise and effective to "so crazy it works". Here's a clip from one of those meetups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebGXE_LSMr0&t=2s Some of our favourite moments come from players shouting with excitement as the games proceed into a tense Sudden Death after the normal timer expires. It's a lot of fun to get together with the players each week, and we want even more players to get in on the fun. [b]What's next?[/b] We still have ideas planned for new features, such as new troops, spells and traps and other things to keep gameplay fresh. As more players become interested in taking part in our weekly event, we will be hosting more events to reach out to players in different time zones who can't always make it to our usual meetup. Give it a go! There'll be plenty of frenetic action for everyone during our free weekend. This weekend only! [b]PATCH NOTES[/b] Patch notes - v1.0.301 - May 16th, 2019 1. FULL RELEASE!
