Ahoy, adventurers!I have some news for you all, so please read on!

Infinity+2 (and therefore Gems of War) has been acquired by 505 Games. Now, I’m sure you all have a lot of questions, so I’ll try to answer as many as possible here and provide some further information.

What does this mean for Gems of War?

• Not much, really!

• No seriously, not much. While 505 now owns Infinity+2 and Gems of War, we are a subsidiary of them, and Steve is still our creative director. We will continue working on Gems of War as we have in the past.

• However, with the backing of a large company, we may get the chance to improve Gems of War in ways that we couldn’t before. Woohoo!

What does this mean for infinity+2?

• Not much, really!

• No seriously, not much aside from more stability and the possibility of further growth.

So why am I telling you?

This issue isn’t the same as others with missing images, which is why it is taking a bit longer. It looks as if the error has occured for different reasons, and the fix is a bit bigger. If it was purely an issue with the art not appearing like before, we would have fixed it much earlier. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, we will push a fix as soon as it has been tested.

I have a few further questions.

1. What is your device? You’ve mentioned Steam and Windows, but the device you are playing on.

2. How often does this occur?

3. How long as your play sessions when this happens, and how many background processes do you run at the same time?

I couldn’t tell you. We may make changes by toggling on and off storms, but I’d say it’s more likely that it will be altered a different way that wouldn’t mean more UI elements or adjustments. I would hazard a guess to say it’s more likely to happen through reworking or balance changes.

Looks like it is due to the game not being refreshed, from what we can see. Could you restart your game and let us know @starlite?

@Eika unfortunately this would likely take longer as it would also include changes to the UI. Sorry.

Hey team, we struggled to reproduce this, but have pushed a fix we think should solve the issue. Please let us know if the issue persists so we can look into it again!

We have pushed a fix for this issue.

We manually released the Hairy Hoarder as he accidentally escaped early.

However, he should be available on PS and Xbox, so we are working on a fix for these platforms now.

We are looking into this now, thanks for letting us know @Starlite.

(Could you please let me know which platform?)

I had to google who Matt Stone was ahahahaha! I don’t think they look that much alike? He’s never gotten that comparison before.

@Lyya please keep posting your art, I love it!

She is currently here as a Producer, which is why I said I work under her briefly when I do writing tasks.

She holds the account for our Zendesk, which is why her username pops up when the known issue list is updated.

Also what do you mean, logging into Sirrian’s account? I’ve never logged in as Sirrian, but I have asked him to post on the odd occassion. I have no reason to post as him, and if I was logging in to do so you’d certainly see it happen more frequently! No one inherits old usernames, we make new ones on the forums. The reason Cyrup comes up for articles is explained above.

So many conspiracy theories.

Surprisingly, I’ve been asked this question a lot!!!

I would love to be in a room of Saltys. I love my gremlin energy!

Hello @mfmartian, thanks for contacting us.

We have a support backlog atm due to an influx of tickets through the holidays (and our office being closed for said holidays.)

I have passed your ticket number on, and hopefully it will be looked at soon. I apologise for the inconvenience.

We are currently working on a fix for this issue, I’ll let you know when it’s ready to be released into the wild. <3

The conspiracy theories in here are ripe!!!

@Cyrup works for infinity+2, not 505 games. Many of us work alongside 505 games, but no one in the infinity+2 office is a direct employee of 505.

Also, I didn’t used to work under Cyrup. We worked adjacently when she was the Support manager, and now I work under her briefly when I do writing tasks as she takes care of my deadlines. (She’s a Producer now, and a damn good one!)

This isn’t ominous…

In th...

This is the correct copy.

The blog post was changed which altered the post above, I’ve just gone in and fixed this manually.

I got distracted following up bug reports with the team and didn’t bump, I hope you’ll all forgive me as bug reports are pretty important and I’m trying to see what can get fixed as quickly as possible.

Next two streams are in! See you tomorrow!
