Hey everyone
just a thank you to all those that have helped us get to the point where the Ship: Full Steam ahead is the 3rd most highly rate game of all time on Steam Greenlight concepts at the moment!
wonder if we'll get the top spot :) ?
Team BG
So we're received some great coverage from the press over the last little while and we thought we'd share :) Happy reading!
Not an exhaustive list....anyone spot any good ones just let us know!
We've adapted to the Kickstarter comments and are open to more.
Now The Ship: Full Steam Ahead is on Steam Greenlight Concepts, to gather further feedback from people who want the opportunity to ask us more questions before funding.
Be delighted to see you there and consider your feedback.

Hello all
So we got a lot of great press coverage and response to the Kickstarter launch for Full Steam Ahead. Mostly people were excited. Unfortunately a large number of the comments were also about being rather confused by what were we actually going to be doing with Full Steam Ahead.
We paid attention and went furiously about creating an update for the Kickstarter to make clearer our goals.So we have added a new “talking heads” video, explaining our intentions.
We explain why Full Steam Ahead will be an up-to-date, relevant sequel to the original hit.
Firstly we introduce to some of the memebers of the team!
We’ve also added some original game play footage to show off the ideas behind the game as well as the transition of the orginal game from 1920’s ships into the new steampunk setting of Full Steam Ahead and what’s more… we mention tea!
As always thoughts and comments are welcome.....now go forth and let the world know!!
