Later today! :)

Probably around 1 or 2 pm EST, but I'm not positive on the timing as we do have to coordinate with Steam.

Good. That should match up nicely with the time I am able to call it a day at work :).
This one looks really meaty even by your (high) standards I must say :D.

Thank you! :)  And yeah, I think this one is really quite something.  It's going to need a lot of balance testing given the scope of it, but we have a goodly amount of time prior to November.

I see Betrayed Hope is on Steam now.
Do you plan to add the ability to buy via your store today as well?

Just asking because I noticed again how much Steam screws us Europeans with their 1 Euro == 1 Dollar shenanigans :-\...

EDIT: Nevermind. Just grabbed a copy on your store. Customer service at its best ;). Thanks!

Okay, I'll lift my personal gag now. :)

As you've seen, it's on our store and steam.  And the base game is a daily deal, too!

Sweet!

Quote from: Steam page
About the Game
Betrayal Mode: Ignore your ideals and conquer the solar system with armadas of your own!
Invasion Mode: Obscura invaders have already wiped out one race, and now threaten all the others. Can you rally a counterattack?
8 Boss-like Obscura ships with crazy SHMUP-style bullet patterns.
9 new fleet ships used by the AI with yet more interesting bullet patterns.
2 new solar system backgrounds to choose from.
12 new Offensive abilities, 12 new Specialty abilities, and 8 new Operational abilities.
New Quests for boosting RCI values or temporarily staving off diseases without a vaccine.
19 new music achievements.
13 new music tracks!
Sounds good! But what are music achievements?  :P

Ack!  Thanks, I fixed it. :)

No Burlusts will be attending the Met, I'm sorry to say. ;)

I thought you guys might be turning TLF into a rhythm game.  I was all ready to get out my Dance Dance Revolution pad.

Everyone dies from exhaustion whenever they attempt to complete the song "Thoraxian Slayer" on expert.
