Airships: Conquer the Skies is taking part in Tacticon, a celebration of strategy games on Steam. The game is 40% off, and for the next three days, I'll be posting in-depth information about the upcoming DLC, Airships: Heroes and Villains.
On Friday we'll get Commander Bertelli, a fresh-faced and proud officer.
On Saturday, it's Viviane Garcia's turn - a powerful socialite that can rise to even greater fame.
And on Sunday, we have Vex, who will have your face eaten by gargoyles if you annoy them.
Finally, Sassy Gamers have just posted a detailed interview with me, touching on game development advice, inspirations, future plans, and why I'd bring a magic carpet on a road trip.
So check out Airships if you haven't already, and wishlist Heroes & Villains, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Design steampunk pixel airships out of functional modules and conquer the skies!
In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.
The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
