RELEASE DATE

Because I want to make sure the launch experience meets expectations, I've decided to move the release date to January 26 at 6:00 AM PST.

Why?

  • Some last-minute bugs remain that must be fixed

  • Controller tuning is not complete

  • Time is needed for some additional trailer/marketing work

Solo development comes with many surprises near the finish line, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.

SAVE COMPATIBILITY

Due to the major progression features introduced in 1.0, previous Early Access saves will not be compatible.

If you’ve played during Early Access, your saves will not be deleted. A separate Steam branch will be available with the final Early Access build, allowing you to continue if you wish.

This is the first time I've had to force new saves since the original release to Early Access, it was not a decision I made lightly but unfortunately it must be done.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Previously earned Steam achievements will remain intact. However, in-game achievements (Fame) will reset with 1.0.

Thank you!
