Topic: Photos of the launch party ;)

Well after ~6 years of development we finally had a huge cause to celebrate - the fact that You, the players took control of the world we created. We'd like to share a few pictures of the launch party to put some faces to the team - we're gamers like you and wish to continue to make Perpetuum a better game with the help of the player community.

The whole team
From left to right: (I'll just put "..." everywhere cos everyone does everything)
- Gargaj - client code, website code, support, ...
- CRM - server code, project lead, additional 3D, ...
- Alf - content, balancing, ...
- Quodys - copywriting, support, ...
- BoyC (standing) - engine code, marketing, game design, ...
- MP (sitting) - CEO
- Zoom - 2d design, game design, support ...
- Tóni - Vice-CEO
- Melchior - 3D, textures, game design, ...
- SRC - GM, balancing, content, ...
- jR - server code, game design, ...
- Mancs - GM, content, ...
- Jax a.k.a. Theory - music, sound design, ...

The victims
Gargaj checking something
Quodys in fear of retribution for past sins
SRC and Mancs, the newest official additions to the team
Bottoms up - BoyC, Melchior and Jr (The floor on this one is a nice indicator of how much time we spend in front of the pcs)
Crm, the project lead quite happy
Group shot
BoyC and Alf
Group shot #2
After this one no more useful photos were taken wink

-Awesome. Fellow Absinthe drinkers.

Thank you for inviting us into your home. We'll try not tracking in too much mud on the floor.

Don't suppose you were around for the non-despawning wrecks/containers patch. And blowing up the containers created some very "interesting" special effects.

Anyway, nice pictures. Somehow I imagined CRM and Mancs looked exactly like they do. Was a bit surprised by Gargaj however, not even close to what I imagined.

And since we have picture links already up, here is one other funny perpetuum related pic.

Oldest player still in the game. Perpetuum for life.

Yes. Incidentally its contents ensured a fairly smooth early access launch. We all know what happened a week later when the bottle stayed intact.

I like this, i am so happy to be playing a game created by gamers, and especially from a fan of Sonata Arctica \m/ !

Having your success and ambitions in mind makes this game feel refreshing (comparing it to the feeling that i threw my money away to money hungry gaming companies that dont care about their customers). <3 smile Good job, and i'll keep wishing you the best!
