You can also find the game on Shinyloot, GoG, GamersGate, the Humble Store, and IndieGameStand --links to all those are right on the www.towerofguns.com frontpage.

Also, some reviews have started popping up: Most are pretty positive!
Destructoid gave the game an 8.5 out of 10 (http://www.destructoid.com/review-tower-of-guns-271406.phtml)
And Rock, Paper, Shotgun had some very very very nice things to say about the game:

Anyway, if you're interested, please post/share/link and otherwise coerce your friends into buying ToG!

The last Tower of Guns thread is long buried, but I've still been hard at work on the game.

To catch my fellow polycounters up: Tower of Guns is a twitch FPS with a lot of randomization/roguish elements. It's coming out on Steam, GoG, IGS, and possibly a few other platforms as well on March 4th.

I just made a fancy new trailer for it, which is why I'm making a new thread. Please send this to everrrrryyyybooodddy you know!

Also, I'd love any thoughts, comments, etc! I'm looking forward to hitting v.1.0 of this thing!

edit: if anyone can refresh my memory on how to embed the actual video, I'd be grateful. I never can remember the trick to doing that..

It will work if you change https to http

It looks pretty awesome, congratulations on getting a game out! The longer I'm in the game industry the more I realize we only make small parts of games, actually making a game yourself is a great accomplishment.

ExcessiveZero

this looks pretty awesome lots of subtle retro aspects to it, and congrats on making a game just been at my first full game project myself, essentially im not sleeping, eating minimally and drinking coffee by the bucketload

Thanks Justin for that http tip!

Jeka

Pre-ordered it some time ago. Very cool game ! Can you make litle breakdown on level generation in ue3 ?

Sardu

Nice. Sort of like an FPS Bullethell. You have my interest.

Mask_Salesman

Ha that looks pretty damn fun dude! Needs epic guitar solos
It gives me flashbacks to playing super mario bros 3s later levels for the first time ; The style is really cool aswell.

That's officially on my list of games to play, Awesome stuff

Wells

How much will it be on steam? Would love to purchase this bad boy!

blankslatejoe

Thanks so much guys! The game will show up on Steam on March 4th. It'll list at 14.99, but there will be a launch week discount of 33%--so....10 bucks.
However, You can buy it earlier and play the early-access builds from www.towerofguns.com (and get a steam key) for $9.50, saving a little more (that price will rise come March 4 to match Steam)!

Mongrelman

Seems RPS like it

shotgun

Looks real fun man, trailer's music is cool

Lazerus Reborn

Ranked higher than some AAA titles?! Congrats and i wish you well with it's success

Jeka

I f i made preorder ? Can i have my steam key ?

blankslatejoe

Jeka, you should be able to claim your steam key by visiting your Humble account. You might need the link in your original purchase email though. If you ordered off of IGS there should be a steam key connected to your IGS wallet now

Justin Meisse

Loving the game so far. My best run made it 3 floors, I had Egon's Pride with the vampirism mod so I was able to stay relatively healthy but the big rolling ball of death shot a bazillion missiles at me ARRRRRGH!

blankslatejoe

that big rolling ball of death is a tricky boss. :-)
