The Tuesday posts gave a glimpse into the story behind the game. We haven'tlet the cat out of the bag in terms of much of the backstory, but we want you as the explorers to have full control over what happens in youradventures. Edge of Space is definitely about making the story your own!Wednesday we celebrated the approach of the holiday season (and my birthday!)with the launch of numerous giveaways! Those end tomorrow, so there is still time to get in and win awesome games. Check out the thread for all the details:
We also took a look at one of the beacons that will be featured in Edge of Space. Getting lost in space is never a good idea, so we aim to provide the playerwith plenty of ways to avoid ending up in a laser shark's belly! You can see the previewof one of the styles here:
