published 7 years ago,
This is the probably the longest we’ve gone without an update, so thanks for your patience! We’re all set up in our new little studio in Austin, TX and while we’re not completely situated, we’re happy to be in one place! We’re still [url=http://berserk-games.com/business/jobs]looking for programmers[/url], so if you’re in the area (must live in Austin already!), then please send us your info.
Our latest DLC [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/468736]Tiny Epic Western[/url] by [url=http://www.gamelyngames.com]Gamelyn Games[/url] is now live! Tiny Epic Western marks the 4th game from Gamelyn Games we have released. We’re looking forward to seeing what else the future holds.
We have made some major changes to our Games menu which now houses the default “Classic” games, DLCs, Workshop mods and Saves. You can now easily find all your games in one spot along with thumbnails! We can finally get rid of those old ugly Workshop and Save/Load menus! We have also updated the Top menu and ESC menu, with more changes to come!
This will be our last update of 2016 as we go home for the holidays. We wish you all a very happy holiday and we look forward to seeing you next year. Lots more great things to come in [b]2017[/b], including updates to VR and getting Oculus Touch users up and running.
