hey guys - I co-founded the studio that made this game and thought I'd give a little more insight for those curious. We made Last Flag because we loved REAL capture the flag when we were kids, and none of our fav CTF game modes allowed actual hiding and finding. We wanted a complete new game experience for players with an affordable price, no microtransactions, and every cosmetic earnable by playing.

We're a small indie studio - so our game and marketing budget is 1/10th some of our competition (if you want to even put us in the same category as "major shooters"). We fought hard to get the word out, but our launch day had surprise overwatch & rivals update (& more). Cutting through the noise is really, really hard.

The irony is that many of the outlets who didn't want to cover our little game before and at launch are now sharing the story of its low CCUs (not as bad the stories say, but still too low). So lots of people are saying "why didn't anyone market this?", but we tried!

All that said, our team is so proud of this game - a lot of love went into it, and I hope our players feel it. We're workin on more maps, contestants, game modes, custom game modes, etc., and making sure the game stays alive for the people who gave it a shot or are just hearing about it. Thanks for listening, and keep supporting indie devs ❤️

#ad I got early access to the new ARC Raiders Riven Tides map and did a photoshoot with the devs! The map is so sick, and this is easily one of the coolest opportunities I’ve ever had. #arcraiders #riventides @ARCRaidersGame

📡 Attention, Raiders!
The Hurricane engulfs the Rust belt, departure to the surface is no longer permitted by security... But any Raider worth their salt knows you can't bring in a good haul by playing it safe ⛈️
Shrouded Sky strikes tomorrow, here's a peek into the eye of the storm:
• Hurricane Map Condition
• Two new ARC enemies - The Firefly and The Comet.
• Free Raider Deck
• Beards!
A new Project, Dam Battleground map update and more await, check the full blog here: https://t.co/jpMa8bcr0b

I don’t like people shitting on things others have created. Putting something out into the world makes you vulnerable, and that alone deserves respect, even if you dislike the creation. It’s easy to destroy things, it’s a lot harder to build them. The best critics understand this. Even when they’re being critical, they do their best not to be hurtful.

📡 Attention, Raiders!
We survived the Cold Snap, but don't drop your guard.
Topside is changing - extreme weather ravages the surface while ARC numbers are climbing.
Lock your loadout, the scale of the impending escalation remains unknown...
