On how it was decided that 3DS is getting SteamWorld Heist first..

We thought about it long and hard… no, it was actually quite easy! At one point we discussed going to PC/Mac/Linux first, but please see the next question for the main reasons behind the decision to go with the 3DS first. SteamWorld Heist will come to 3DS first, and then to all other current-gen platforms. The order among them is yet to be determined. It could be important to mention that we haven’t made any deals – we’ve decided to let the release schedule rest on our own choices.

Rusty from SteamWorld Dig is appearing in the indie Wii U game Runbow as one of several guest characters. In an interview with Nintendo Okie, Image & Form CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson explained how Rusty made it into the title.

He said:

Dave Proctor, one of the splendid guys at 13am, simply shot me an email and asked. In the indie community it doesn’t have to be harder than that. That doesn’t mean that we automatically agree to everything. But he sent a gameplay video, and I thought Runbow looked really cool. We then met for beer and Mexican food in San Francisco during GDC and had a wonderful time. I hope Runbow does really well, and that 13am continues to be successful.

Continuing on the topic of collaborations, Sigurgeirsson also said that he’d be open to having Rusty appear in a Renegade Kid title.

As Sigurgeirsson stated:

There’s this very cool guy called Jools Whatsham, who runs Renegade Kid. He’s always been nice and helpful. I wouldn’t mind Rusty appearing in one of their games. We’ll see if that’ll ever happen.

Image & Form put up a new blog post about SteamWorld Heist today. In the latest update, we learn more about the robot faction Scrappers. This enemy type was previously shown in screenshots and latest trailer.

Here’s the full breakdown on Scrappers straight from Image & Form:

The Scrappers are the scourge of The Outer Rim of inhabitable space. They’re nasty, vicious and menacing – but not the sharpest tools in the shed. What they lack in brains they make up for in sheer numbers and pure insanity. The root of their disturbing behaviour is unknown; so is the reason of their rapid expansion.

Fresh reports have them plunder the goods and killing the passengers of countless spaceships and space stations. Though not confirmed, there are reasons to believe they also steal entire ships. But even worse are the rumors of them partaking in the horrible practice of collecting the body parts of their victims. Whatever their goal, one thing is certain: Someone has to stop the Scrappers before it’s too late.

The Scrappers come in different shapes and sizes. Each with varying abilities and a unique look. Check out three of the Scrapper types below:

The Rippers of the Scrapper faction of steambots. The Choppers are like relatively smart and dangerous. For being Scrappers, that is. The Crushers are some of the most vicious Scrappers around. Watch out!
The Rippers are mostly harmless but pose a threat in great numbers. More dangerous are the Choppers, since they’re slightly smarter and able to handle more potent weaponry. Out of the three the Crushers are the ones you should really watch out for. They take a lot of hits and deal the most damage.

If you compare the Scrappers in the portraits to the ones in the screenshot above you see they all have somewhat different looks to them. They are randomly generated, so it’s not likely to meet exact look-alikes twice in a row. This is not just to please the eye. It also plays an important part in the story. Exactly how will be revealed in the finished game.
