If you've participated in earlier rounds, the two games will be familiar to you. However, we've added some additional info for each game. Notably, if Taxi Copter wins, it will likely be on Steam Early Access as early as this fall, with frequent updates after that. If "A Traveler" wins, it will launch in 2019-ish. We've also added a bit more info about where we see each of these games going, which you can access on the "More Info/Send Feedback" link for each game. Vote HERE (We realize making a custom account is a pain, but really appreciate your input!)

This build includes some new daily portal worlds (thanks for the feedback on that!) As well as some misc. bug fixes and optimizations. Some notes: - You may notice some odd connectivity issues today and tomorrow, as the backend server for the game's leaderboards/daily updates has changed. - We had to upgrade the underlying game engine with this update. This usually means the game runs smoother for folks, and often fixes some rare bugs; but it might also break compatibility on some much older PCs or OSs. If this is you, let us know and we'll try to help. - Some people have reported a score exploit, as well as some suspicously high scores on the leaderboard. We've fixed the exploit in this build, and we'll be resetting the all-time and daily leaderboards tomorrow. Also: Thanks for those who have (very) patiently been waiting for the promised VR update. This game engine upgrade was an important step towards that, and we hope to have a build ready for you very soon.Version 1.50 releasedJan 30, 2017 - Community AnnouncementsHi folks.
