Hey everyone! I've been working on a game with RobbyZ, who made 8-bit MMO, called March of Industry (details below). Robby is used to making games that involve community-created content and we're setting up the ability for players to build their own silly weapons and more basic building materials and then also play with each other's extra content. Check out the trailer for the general feel of our game.

March of Industry Trailer

I thought people on Pixel Joint might be interested in early Alpha access to the game in general and second, if you like, building your own silly weapons for the game.

Robby has given further details below. Please come check us out. Thanks!

I'm excited to be launching the closed alpha test of March of Industry next Friday (8/14). In the game, players get to manage their own weapons factory and make zany weapons. You may view our trailer on our home page or Steam page.

In terms of traction, we've managed to accrue over 6,000 people on our beta waitlist, the game has been selected to be in the upcoming Seattle Indie Expo, and won 5th place at the Seattle Intel Buzz Workshop in a tough competition against many high quality games. Furthermore, there are some well-known national & international expos it has been accepted into that we're not allowed to discuss yet. So if you've read this far, hopefully you're at least slightly interested in trying the game... ;)

Our artist, Matt, is a regular here at Pixel Joint. During one of our team meetings, he suggested we give the community here early access to the closed alpha because A) it's a nice thank-you for the Pixel Joint users who have already kindly provided feedback on the game art assets in prior months, and B) you might be interested in the game's community creation features (players can create and share their own resources & weapons (16px x 16px sprites)).

TLDR: If you're interested in a key, please make a response in this thread. We'll PM the alpha build on 8/14 to the first fifty users who reply.
