      @Haegemon: We don't know yet exactly how obtaining PS4 keys is gonna work. But it seems very unlikely that we'll be able to provide PS4 keys to our backers unfortunately. We'll keep you posted if that changes.

      @Philip Mars: We don't have specific plans for the Mac port yet. Our focus is on the PC version right now.

      @Brian Watzig: The PS4 version came as a surprise for us, but we were always hoping to make our way to consoles at some point, in no specific order. We promised the OUYA version and we'll deliver it!

      @Jordan Louis: Game development planning is a difficult art to master. We've been working on Mercenary Kings for about a year now, and we are a bit late on our schedule. However, we are working very hard to release Mercenary Kings as soon as possible, with the highest possible level of quality. Don't worry, we're still strict on our planning, and news about the release date will be coming soon.

      Hey there. It's June, and I must be missing something because we were promised a release date in May. Wouldn't mind a solid timeline on when the PC version is going to be available for download.

      I understand development takes time and hard work, and I think that your game looks pretty damned awesome. I hope you don't mind my enthusiasm to get my WASD on with some Mercenary Kings.

      oh drat and here I thought it would be out on the OYUA before the PS4 (since OUYA is already out), I invested because it was coming out on the OUYA.

      Will there be a PS4 version even before the Mac version of the game?

      Congratulation, for getting on to the PS4 dudes! Hopefully it gets on other console too at a later date like Wii U...

      will any of our pledges include the PS4 version? just saw announce, do want..

      @Haegemon: Fortunately, you won't have to wait too long to get the game on Early Access, and it'll feature a lot more missions! We're not ready to add more content right now. However, the beta version will be updated with online play after E3.
      @Tazi: Obviously, we're late on our schedule. Moving our studio and going to E3 cost us a few weeks.
      @Brian Watzig: Awesome, glad you like Wizorb on OUYA!

      I'm LOVING WIZORB on the OUYA, thanks for a free copy.

      Creator Tazi on June 8

      "but we'll announce it in May for sure." - so what's the release date? :)

    13. Scream.small

      Creator Haegemon on June 3

      Can we get like a few more missions...
      Not like every rank, just a few more...
      You can't just give out free crack and then turn around and say "well the rest of the batch isn't gonna be ready for a while, so just keep jonsing/scratching your arms for a bit"
      .
      So... Can we get a few more missions? Just a single rank up, maybe some more guns, a cat-tank boss, anything...

      I have been playing the demo and I gotta say, this is probably the most fun I have ever had with this genre! You guys nailed the crafting and I gotta say play as Empress is incredibly fun;)

      Having just received an email about having my name in the credits, this must be a good sign that things are (whilst definitely not finished) are at least on track for a May/ June Beta or release. Keep up the good work! We all know you will make a great game at the end of this! :D

      @Tribute Games
      from what we have seen so far the game looks promising... please do not let us down

      wish you best of luck with the new studio and the game release

    18. Tributelogovertical640x640.small

      Creator Tribute Games on April 23

      @Mohammad: Oh and for the release date of the actual finished game (or our first milestone at least), it's still a tad too early, but we'll announce it in May for sure.

    19. Tributelogovertical640x640.small

      Creator Tribute Games on April 23

      @Mohammad: Almost! We'll announce the date of the beta next week. We just need to review everything first so that we don't announce a bogus date. And because of some major renovations in our building (like destroying our walls), we have to move our studio to a new location by the end of the week! So, we'll post about that too.

      @phillip auge @João Carlos Bastos @Mike Rentas We're working on preparing the closed beta version right now. We're aiming at mid-May, so in about a month you guys (and all 80$+ tier backers) should have access to a version of the game. We'll post an update as soon as we know the exact date + what will be the exact content of this version.

    22. Robo%20-%20status.small

      Creator Mike Rentas on April 18

      Another "GIMME THE DEMO" request here :) Played the build you guys had at PAX East and loved it, I'd love to get my hands on it to show friends. Barring that, I'll reiterate Phillip's question - any idea when the closed beta will begin?

    23. Missing_small

      Creator João Carlos Bastos on April 14

      Is there any chance you could let us play, for example, the demo you had at PAX, while we wait for the final game?
      It would be great for those unable to attend such conventions/shows, especially those like me who are located outside of the USA, to get the chance to play Mercenary Kings. :)

      Any idea when the beta will be taking place?

    33. Tributelogovertical640x640.small

      Creator Tribute Games on March 2

      @Jordan Thompson: You're absolutely right, updates shouldn't derail our deadline. However, with PAX East coming in a few weeks, it definitely gets buried under a bunch of other tasks. We didn't forget though, we'll have an update ready next week. In the meantime, I can tell you that the game is progressing well and is getting better everyday. We finished implementing most knives of the game today, and it looks pretty cool ^_^.

      @Dablue: You can start pressing F5 from Monday :P

      Sorry guys for the lack of updates! We're focusing on making the game right now, but we should have a substantial update in February, and possibly a tiny one sooner.
