A NOTE

Dev here, whenever I was about to wrap up the update, I found new elements to improve or came up with new mechanic to add, as matter of fact, I've added a new one just 2 days ago. This was the cycle for the last 6+ months on the daily.

There are many changes and improvements, but the ones above are the highlights.

I've already announced multiple dates for the update-then, expansion-now on discord, but speeding past each one.

Result of something called a Scope Creep, ideas stacking up and the time to develop them extends beyond horizon. I plan to conquer that scope, and realize the vision I imagined this game would be, and I'm so close, bear with me.

This added content did push back the release date, exponentially. but I've decided to take that path and expand it more in directions that are based on the community feedback, which has now shaped the game.

I want to give you not just an update but an augmented immersion, something unique (very).

The Early Access launch was rocky, this is my way to make it right.
