Expeditions: Viking April Newsletter

The April newsletter for Logic Artists’ Expeditions: Viking talks about the game’s reception and the studio’s plans for the near future. In case you were waiting for the game to receive some patches before buying it – you’ll be pleased.

An excerpt:

Release Weekend Recap

Well the first weekend is over and we’re working hard to patch in some fixes and updates for Expeditions: Viking. We were a bit too bold in our patching efforts over the weekend and introduced a few frustrating bugs as a result of rushing a build. It’s unfortunate that this happened, but it was with the best of intentions.

If any of you have run into these errors, we’ve been pulling long days and late nights working to resolve them. We’ve released a 1.0.1.5 patch that takes care of the majority of high priority issues and we’re very close to releasing a 1.0.2 patch (later this week) that should get the rest of them.

Even with these errors, there has been a lot of positive reviews and encouragement from the community. We are grateful for all the support!

Mail List Rewards

The mail list rewards were sent out last week before the game’s release. All of you who were signed up prior to the mail out were eligible for the rewards. Thanks again for all of your support! Some folks have asked why the Blood-Ice DLC was also available for free on the steam store and we can clarify that for you here.

We made Blood-Ice to help promote the game at events, it let us give people something to take home with them to remind them of Expeditions: Viking and as a small token of our appreciation for them stopping by and checking out the game. With the DLC made on steam we had to decide whether to charge money for this solitary in-game item or to make it free. We opted for free. As such Steam’s system automatically makes a download page for it and here we are.

In any case we hope you enjoy your Original Game Soundtrack and Digital Art book with our thanks!
