Prague, Czech Republic, January 11, 2011 – Keen Software House is pleased to announce the release of the free Miner Wars 2081 PRE-ALPHA Demo, and a terrific partnership with Intel Corporation – covered in a success story article published by Intel.
Keen Software House derives great pleasure in being able to supply quality entertainment for their clients.
Those of you who have not gone out and bought the game – shame on you – but do not fret, as the Miner Wars Demo is finally being released!
To download the demo – please visit:
http://mirror1.minerwars.com/Downloads/MinerWarsSetup.exe ;
Or for further download options: http://www.minerwars.com/Downloads.aspx
The demo version of the game will run much like the full version. It will include all of the same features (i.e. harvesting, drilling, weapons, etc.) and receive regular updates. The only restriction will be the limitation that confines players to one particular sector in space.
If players decide they would like to play the full game, they are able to simply purchase an account upgrade on www.minerwars.com and play immediately!
Please note: This is a PRE-ALPHA and still currently in a very early state of production. It should be considered a work in progress. Updates and features are added regularly.
INTEL PARTNERSHIP & SUCCESS STORY
Keen Software House has endeavoured into a partnership with Intel Corporation as part of the Intel Software Partner Program. Intel has subsequently written an article about Miner Wars 2081, describing the successes of the company so far.
(For those of you who don't know, Intel is the big technology company with the blue logo and the circular bit who electrolize your wizard gizmos and cause computer to happen.)
The article discusses the relationship of the two companies, including an interview from our CEO and Founder, Marek Rosa. Intel gives a rundown through the accomplishments of the company in pre-order sales and strives in software development. The article goes on to read: features, behind-the-scenes, gameplay and upcoming prospects for the Miner Wars 2081. Nicholas Miller concludes on a note discussing the power of association and collaboration, with concern respectively to a pre-installed version of Miner Wars 2081 being implemented on the new Intel power netbooks, and the credibility a company such as Intel provides.

ABOUT MINER WARS
Miner Wars 2081 is a 6DOF interior and space shooter played in a fully destructible environment featuring single player, co-op, and standard multi-player modes, with an MMOG in the planning stages.
As a player, you operate an advanced mining ship in an open world asteroid belt area.
You dig kilometers of tunnels, harvest the ore, travel the solar system, fight your enemies and discover mysterious alien secrets.
Game play is led by an epic story and is a combination of a single/multi-player game, cooperative, or you against everyone.
The story will introduce you to many types of missions: rescue, exploration, revenge, base defense, theft, transportation, stealth, search and destroy, pure harvesting, racing or just flying around and destroying everything you see.
World release: TBA
Platform: Windows, Xbox 360 Live Arcade, iPhone (pocket version)
