How Will Steam Integration Work?
In about a week we'll submit Project: Gorgon for final approval to Steam and it should be for sale as a Steam Early Access game in about two weeks. So what exactly will this mean for you?


End of Alpha
Currently, the game is in alpha. Alpha is the earliest development stage, where we prototype game ideas, iterate on the core design, and make sure we're on a solid technical footing.

When we launch on Steam Early Access,

There's a new launcher available for download. This launcher addresses problems some players have when downloading the game behind certain types of firewalls. If you don't have any trouble patching with your v7 launcher, you don't need to update -- v8 is backwards-compatible with v7, so you can use either one. But if you have trouble downloading, please update to the newest version!

Let me talk about the logistics of this change, some of the technical details about why this is happening, and what benefits players will see.

What Will Happen
The new UI is a complete rewrite of the

The patcher and the forums will continue to work while the game is offline, so we will update the patcher text and this forum post with any new info.

Thanks, and happy gorgoning!

The "DPS Singularity"

Serbule Hills took the majority of the time in this update, but I did find some time to work on combat balance.

The biggest balance problem that we're seeing at high level is that well-equipped level 70 players can deal far too much damage. This makes group play untenable. Once a game goes past the "DPS singularity", it becomes possible to defeat ANY monster just by having a bunch of high-DPS players shoot it. This makes tanking
