For starters check out it's shiny new Steam Page (wishlist it!), and the new teaser trailer we made: We've been unearthing many of the ideas we weren't able to get into Duskers, as well as a host of new ones! As with the original, we want to hear from you along the way, stealing incorporating all of your great ideas and feedback happyTom And if all that wasn't exciting enough - we're also creating Duskers 2.0 in partnership with Stray Signal, a new studio founded by an old indie friend - Max McGuire, co-founder of Unknown Worlds Entertainment and one of the creators of Subnautica. Max's efforts are already pluss-ing the game in so many ways that I can't wait to show off. Also, we made a new website and added wallpaper and digital stickers for Duskers 2.0…

- Happy Holidays! - 19 December 2013
TOM is trying to spread some cheer (and, of course, destruction): 50% off durring the Winter Sale :) Don't forget the Winter Wonderland scavenge hunt (PC only) I went kinda overboard and uploaded all of last years contest entries for Holiday TOM Spread the word, and I hope you all have a happy/safe holiday. In the new year we hope to get AVNT out on PS Vita, and announce our next title, which we'll probably need you're help to make! -Tim Keenan (AVNT creator guy)

- We pitch, you vote - 22 November 2013
If any of you have been wondering what our 2nd title is going to be, please help us decide! GO HERE and vote for any of our prototypes that you'd be willing to Kickstart (sadly we don't have enough $ to self fund a second title). On that site is a video to pitch you our 3 prototypes in 40 seconds each. We're just trying to get a gauge on which games you're interested in so please take a few minutes to go vote (if you wanna discuss you can leave comments below). The possible Kickstarter won't be for a few months as we prep for it. I apologize that this isn't exactly AVNT related but thought you guys would want to be involved in what's next. We're finishing up our port to PS Vita and hope to have it out in early 2014 :)
