ArkCo News - 5/16/14

Hey ArkCoNauts! We’ll keep this short and sweet today. The team is working feverishly on the next patch, which will roll out another sizeable round of bug fixes. The patch notes this time around will definitely reflect the massive amount of effort being poured into fixing issues in the game and getting it solidified. We aim to clean out the current bug list or come as close to it as humanly possible. We’ve been able to nail down some pretty long-standing issues, which is pure win for us and the community. The less issues the better! We’re also working on some fun things for the community, which we can’t wait to announce! First and foremost we will be rolling out a new way to get to know you guys better: Community Game Night. Starting next week, Friday afternoons will feature a chance to come hang out and do some gaming with the Handyman staff. The devs will be there as they’re able, as well as our internal testers and our hardworking community team. You may even get a chance to smack us around a bit! We’ll be taking community votes for what games will be chosen, and it’ll be different from week to week. We’ll be looking for games that are free to play or inexpensive to provide the chance to hang out and meet as many of you as we can. Additionally, our IRC Q&A sessions will be making a comeback in the near future. We value the chances to spend time in a live chat environment, answering questions, and taking feedback in a more direct way. We’ll be announcing a schedule for those soon! Plans are in the works for our summer event, as well as numerous other upcoming happenings, so be sure to keep an eye out for those announcements! http://i.imgur.com/RoFk4Pz.png
