¡Hola Amigos y Enemigos!

¡Feliz cinco de mayo!

We’re big fans of a party! It’s time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
To get the fiesta started, we are giving all owners of The Ship and The Ship Remasted 15% off our latest game, Murderous Pursuits. Muchas Gracias for your support all these years.

Murderous Pursuits is our NEW game – here are a few ways its different from its predecessor:

Uno: A stealthier game! Random killing will get you absolutely nowhere. Use your cunning skills, watch, learn, and use your abilities to the best of…well, your ability.

Dos: Multiple hunters and a continuous kill loop A quarry tracker will help you evade your hunters and locate your quarries.

Tres: 3rd Person (vs.1st person in The Ship) Changing the gameplay significantly by allowing you to scan the room looking for your quarry without moving and being caught by your hunter.

Cuatro: No need for “Needs”! Love it or hate it, Murderous Pursuits doesn’t have the need for “Needs”. It’s less SIM-like and you won’t need to run for a bathroom break mid-kill.

Cinco: No need for Doors, have a pie instead. Why? Because why not. Blend in with NPCs and have a pie while you wait for the kill.

No time for a hangover: Get your Cinco de Mayo gift of 15% off before it expires in 10 days. Find it in your Steam inventories.
…And Feliz cinco de mayo!

We would like to thank all of The Ship supporters over the years by inviting you to our Closed Beta of Murderous Pursuits , Blazing Griffin's newest game. Check out the trailer here !

Those of you who loved The Ship, will love Murderous Pursuits. It's a kill-or-be-killed Victorian stealth-em-up for 1-8 players in which you must hunt and kill your quarry before your hunters do the same to you, all while avoiding witnesses.

Sound familiar? We like to think of it as a spiritual successor to The Ship with added abilities and much more stealthy gameplay!

Key Features include:

• Hunt in four sumptuous locations aboard the HMCS Britannic - a state-of-the-art, colonial time ship. Blend in with the festivities in the richly decorated Music Hall or wait in the dark corners of the Engine House to pounce on your prey
  
• Choose from eight playable characters. Pick your preferred archetype and skin, then blend in with the crowd to avoid detection
  
• Master the use of five abilities – only two of which can be chosen each match, so choose wisely
  
• Play solo or online multiplayer with up to 8 players, featuring support for custom game options and wickedly intelligent bots

• 29th of March 12pm EST - 1st of April 12pm EST
  
• 6th of April 12pm EST - 9th of April 12pm EST

Season’s Bleedings!

A lot has been happening at Blazing Griffin and admittedly we have gone a bit quiet on a few things related to The Ship: Remasted.

Blazing Griffin Games is growing at a rapid rate and at times we’ve felt the growing pains. We’re currently building our biggest game yet whilst working on other new and exciting projects. You have all been heard, it has just taken a little longer to respond than we would have liked. We intend to make this right.

Here’s the NEWS: The Ship Remasted is getting a little update. We know some of you are still mad about doors, hell we are too. So…this … is …happening. Very shortly! Wednesday 29th of November to be precise. Achievements will also be made available (you can currently see these, but they won’t be live until we put out the update).

And last but not least, we are adding a holiday-themed level equipped with decorations and new weapons, including a holiday ham, for you to get … ahem … creative with.

Ho-Ho-Ho-Hope you like it!
Blazing Griffin

Ahoy Hunters!
