This will include looking at the item economy, player progression and the balancing. The final updates will be focused on adding the endgame locations and on fixing the remaining quality issues before we call it version 1.0.

Your old save games should be compatible with this update. For convenience there's also a shortcut from the main menu that lets anyone jump straight into the city content. If you stumble over any issue, please let us know, preferably via the F1 in-game feedback tool which helps us with some additional info from your current game situation.

What's next?

Next we’ll be focusing on the major content update covering the northern part of the wasteland. This will take some time and we plan to update the game in between with smaller content additions. Then there are a few improvements we want to make to the existing content. This will include looking at the item economy, player progression and the balancing.

It’s been a long road to get to this point, but the end is in sight. If you’re interested in what we are working on at any moment, you can take a look at my ongoing Development Log.

Be well and remain hopeful.
